How to change the data type of an item in administrator

Hi,
A summary folder was created. One of the item in the summary folder is a sum. That sum item was created in the business area (based on another item). I can't refresh that summary folder because it gives me an oracle error (Ora-12008 and Ora-01401 the value is too large for the column). The column that this item is based on is of data type Number(13). How can I fix this problem without changing the column's data type of the original table? I already tried altering the data type in the EUL table via TOAD.
Thanks!

You really don't need to sum the item before hand if you are going to create a summary!

How to change the data type of a field in an internal table dynamically ?

I have an internal table :
Data: Begin of itab_data occurs 0,
field1 type i,
field2 type p decimals 2,
end of itab_data.
My requirement is to decide the number of decimals of "field2" dynamically .
ie. based on the input in selection-screen , the declaration has to change .How can this be done ?
Hope the question is clear..
Its urgent. Please help me.
Thanks in advance .
Shankar

I dont think you can change it dynamically...but as per your requirement ...why dont you define the variable with maximum decimal length and depending on the parameter(from your selection-screen) use the WRITE command to populate it with the specified decimals.
Example
begin of itab
field2 type p decimals 5.
end of itab.
write itab-field2 to lfield decimals p_dec.

Can we change the data type of a field based on the value of the field

HI Gurus,
My Requirement is as below -- Could you please guide me
in the Printable Adobe form -- for ex - as usual for dates fields in the Object Pallette the object type is a date/time field and for quantity/currency fields corresponding fields are taken
now in case the either the date, quantity or currency is initial in place of displaying 0.00 or empty date we need to display N/A (Not Applicable)
for this I would like to change the data type of the field
to put it simply --
we need to change the data type of date field from DATE&TIME to Char type to hold N/A or Quantity field to Char field to hold N/A
how can we realize this in SAP adobe forms
Thanks in Advace
Ramchander Rao.K

Hello Ramchander,
     You cannot change the data type of the field at run time in Adobe forms because the type of field you choose at the time of design level is associated with the data type itself.
If you want to achieve your requirement, then your main idea should be to set the data type as CHARACTER itself while designing the field in the adobe form itself. CHAR field will comfortably hold the value of Calculation/amount field, Currency field, Amount, Date, Time HHMMSS, Unit Accuracy, Currency key, Floating point number, Numeric text, Client, Language and many other data types.
After designing the field as TEXT field in Adobe form you have two options.
Option 1:
Select the Date field initially as type TEXT field or CHAR field in Adobe forms.
Suppose the name of the field is TEXTFIELD1, then write the Javascript code on this field in Initialize event as below.
if ( this.rawvalue == null )
     this.rawvalue = "N/A";
If the field is not blank, then it will show the date. Else it will show "N/A".
Option 2:
Select the Date field initially as type TEXT field or CHAR field in Adobe forms. Do the formatting part in ABAP itself. It will increase the performance. Avoid Javascript as much as possible.
Suppose you have a DATE variable l_dats of type DATS. Then take another variable l_date of type CHAR. Then write the below ABAP code.
MOVE l_dats TO l_date.
IF l_date IS INITIAL.
     l_date = 'N/A'.
ENDIF.
Bind the l_date to the TEXT field in the form.
Even in this case, if the field is not blank, then it will show the date. Else it will show "N/A".
But I will suggest you to use Option 2 of keeping the AMOUNT, QUANTITY, DATE, TIME fields etc as CHAR or TEXT fields in Adobe form and do the required formatting in ABAP itself.

Change the Data Type of a Standard Required Field

Hello Experts,
Need to know if is it possible to change the data type of a standard field. The field is marked as a required field.
For example: If a standard field is an Object Picker and I would like to change it to a string field. Is it possible? How can I do it?!
Many thanks,
Igor Nakamura

Hi Igor,
Since you cannot hide a required field, what you can do is move the standard required field to someplace less noticable (like the bottom of the page) and then use a validation script to set it to some benign value.

Not a problem. There are a number of other system and network setup commands that you might find useful at some time. From within the Remote Desktop Admin in the Send Unix Command window type:
networksetup -help
systemsetup -help
That will give you lists of the commands, including the one I posted above, with their basic syntax. They're handy to know.

How to change the paper type in printer settings?

Does anyone know how to change the paper type in printer settings? I'm trying to have the ability to change it to photo paper from Photoshop Elements. I can't find the option in printer settings or through Elements. I'm assuming I could save an additional printer setting for photo printing, but can't find how to even select a different paper type.
thanks!

It would help to know which OS you are running as the answer will be different if it's Lion or the previous OS's. You are not running iOS 5.0.1 on your MacBook Pro so provide the correct information.

How to change the document type while creating a PO by ME59N

How to change the document type for group 2 in ME59N? Which user exists to use to change the document type while creating PO in ME59N?

There a config area, where you can define default PO doc types for a particular Pr doc type. If you maintain the settings properly there, then your requirement can be fulfilled.
SPRO->IMG->MM->Purchasing->Purchase requisation->Define doc types.
This will serve your purpose.

How to change the billing type Rv to DG

Dear all,
when ever we are doing the return order to a sales we will create a customer credit memo through the VF01 T-code.where billing type will be customize one that is credit memo..
once we save that the in customer G/L we are getting the document type as RV instead of DG.
please tell me how to change the document Type in customer Ledger.
regards,
chethan

Hi,
Just to draw your attention that DG is doc.type used to issue credit memo from FI (t.code FB75), where it does not involve the inventory movement.
Whereas the credit memo generated from OTC cycle (i.e.VF01) involves inventory movement. Ideally, both of these types of credit memos should have different doc. types, so that users can distinguish the returns based on doc. types later on.
So, after explaining the above, please check with your business thoroughly if they really need to use DG instead of RV. I would suggest to create new doc. type 'ZC' and set up through VOFA.
Thanks,
Nirav
