Field Lengths in Smartforms

Hi All,
How can we make the field lengths of all the fields to be displayed in smartforms of the same length so that they are aligned properly.
Eg: V_field1 is of length 8,
V_field2 is of length 2.
Both are of the type Z table.
How can this be done in smartforms to display both of same length.
Thanks,
Saher

Hi,
Use like below
Eg: V_field1+(08)
V_field2+0(2).

Jana

Compression of field length in smartform

Hi,
I want to compress a field which is 13 character long to 5 characters as the first 8 characters are null but its taking engaging extra space of a line when it displays it in form. How to reduce the field to 5 characters.
Thanks
Dhiraj

Better you go with char field instead of displaying the numeric field.
pass the value to character field and go for display.

Fields Delimiting In Smartforms

Hello
Iam using a smartform for displaying some info. The problem is how do I limit the field length of the fields in the form.At present for some values the form is Ok but for some other values the fields are not alligned exactly in the form.How do I allign the fields..
Thanks
Vicky

Vicky,
You need to design the form in such a way that the alignment happens for the maximum length of the fields. It sounds like your problem is that alignment fails when you have full length data.
So, design the form keeping in view the full length of the field and that should rectify your issue.

How to create an infotype with one of its field length eq 1000.??

hi ,
i need to create a infotype where one of the field length is 1000 characters how do i achieve this. if i give more than 255 in the PS structure it will not allow. then how do i get a text field of 1000 chars in the screen ( which is an input field)

You can use those function calls even inside a PA Infotype.. they just invoke the text ediotr table control.. I gave you the reference of the PD infotype 1002 just for an idea. I don't think you will able to meet your 1000 char reqt without using the text editor.

R/3 Field length 80, BW field max allowed 60

Hi all,
Field ABC is in R/3 production system.
Its length is 80(CHAR).
This field data is now to be extracted to BW.
It is used in extract program and updated to an extract table(R/3), then this has be loaded into a master load(BW).
But in BW the field length allowed is 60(Max).
So how to get in this 80 char data into BW??
Please let me know in detail.
Also please share links pertaining to this if possible.
Thanks,
Sowrabh

Hi Sowrabh,
Create two Infoobjects one with length 60 and one with length 20.
Now in transfer rules write routines for both.
IOB1 = <r/3 field>+0(60)
IOB2 = <r/3 field>+60(20)

CATT - vendor/customer master address field length over

Dear all,
when use CATT to record vendor/customer master,the address some fields length are over recorded field length(ex. ADDR1_DATA-NAME4,ADDR1_DATA-STR_SUPPL3...etc)
is there any config in CATT to solve this kind of problem?

When you are doing your LSMW batch input recording, on selection screen (where you specify the sales org, distribution channel, division, account group, etc) please put a flag on "Use central address management" checkbox (SAPMF02D 0100 > USE_ZAV).
In this case you should be able to see and fill the desired fields.

Idoc segment field length changes

Hi friends,,
I am new to idoc.
My requirement is in my segment
i am having 5 fields and also this segment is already realeased one.
i wnat to change the field length from 10 to 20 . how to do this ?
actually what i did is
1. i cancel the release for that segment.
2. in that field inside the dataelement i changed the field length from 10 to 20.
3. data elemnt get chaged from 10 to 20 but Export length for that field in Idoc segment still retain the 10 only
can you plz how to resolve this
deva

Hi,
The way you used is right. ( cancel release or create a new segment )
After you cancel release, try delete that field, and insert a new one.
If it isn't valid still, create a new segment instead.

Getting correct field length when creating formats for delimited flat files

Using Data Services 3.2 to pull in tsv and Excel source files.
When creating a new format for each file, DS tries to intelligently set the field size for each column. However, it seems to sample only a portion of the file. The end result is that it often determines too short a length for a field.
Is there a way to force it to scan an entire file before it sets the field length? Or alternatively, how to get it to at least throw an error instead of silently truncating my data?

I am not aware of any way to force DS to scan the whole file, or to log a warning when it truncates. The field sizes DS sets by using a sample of the data is only really to give you a starting point, you need to try and determine the maximum possible lengths preferably from someone who understands the source of the data or through profiling. But the profiling method will obviously only be based on the data you have at the time of profiling, new data added to the source later could exceed the field lengths. The way I prefer to handle this is to set all the field lengths to longer than expected, eg. varchar(999) and then use a validation transform immediately after reading the file to check for any fields that exceed the maximum allowed for the target system and send these to an error file/table.

What is the best way to declare field length 500 in internal table?

Hi all,
what is the best way to declare field length 500(constant value allways) in internal table?
I am trying to send data from internal table to file format, and I have a field in internal table with 500 length (constant value always). So how do I can declare and append this field value to table?
Thanks

         ' area and then append it to the internal table which has a' &
          ' field with a length of five hundred characters'.

Field length in internal table

hi,
how to selt field length in internal table?.
i have created on report the report out puts down load to using download function .
the out format is:
op1 op2   op3      op4
1     3       4
i want
op1   op2   op3       op4
1                3          4
how to set this please give sample code.

HI,
Give internal table like this.
DATA: BEGIN OF itab OCCURS 100,
            op1(04),
            op2(04),
op3(04),
op4(04),
      END OF itab.
So it will allocate space between 1, 3 and 4.
Reward if it useful.
Thanks.
