How to enter values to a database table with data type 'LCHR'?

Hello All,
I have created a database table with five fields, of which the last field is 'Value' field in which i have to enter text with a maximum of 1000characters. I have also specified a 'Length' field preceding the 'Value' field.
The datatype specified for the 'Length' field is 'INT2' and for the value field is 'LCHR' with length 1000.
When i tried inserting values to the table through a report, the report is giving an error that 'Literals that take up more than one line are not permitted', which means 255characters.
Also, when i entered a short text which is less than 250 characters to the 'Value' field,, the report is working fine and the table entry is visible.
Can anyone help me in this?
It would be really helpful if you explain how to use 'LCHR' data type in tables and how to enter values to such a field with more than 255characters.
Thanks in Advance,
Shino

Hi shino,
Alternatively,
you can use STRING instead of LCHR.
I too have tried with LCHR and am facing the same issue.. i am not sure why its coming..
i have tried STRING and its working perfectly.
wa-key_field = 'IN4'.
CONCATENATE 'Long text over 200 chars length '
              'another Long text over 200 chars length '
              'another Long text over 200 chars length '
              INTO wa-long_text.
wa-len = strlen( wa-long_text ).
INSERT zshino_table from wa.
SELECT * FROM zshino_table INTO table it.
clear wa.
LOOP AT it INTO wa.
      WRITE:/ wa-len, ' ' , wa-long_text.
ENDLOOP.
Also, remember to set the type of the database field as String.
hope this was of some help,
thanks and regards,
Sagar.

Any Help?

You've multiple options
1. Use generate scripts wizard available in SQL management studio. This is particularly helpful when you want to script out lot of objects. You can also choose to script data as well inside this. This can be launched by right clicking the db, choosing tasks
-> generate scripts and then selecting required options inside the wizard
2. Use object explorer and right click and script out table. You can also use search functionality to find object you want inside object explorer
http://visakhm.blogspot.in/2013/02/object-filtering-using-ssms-object.html
3. Use query based on INFORMATION_SCHEMA views like TABLES,COLUMNS,CONSTRAINT_COLUMN_USAGE etc to generate the script

Problem creating cache group for a table with data type varchar2(1800 CHAR)

Hi,
I am using TimesTen 7.0 with Oracle 10.2.0.4 server. While creating Cache Group for one of my table I'm getting the following error.
5121: Non-standard type mapping for column TICKET.DESCRIPTION, cache operations are restricted
5168: Restricted cache groups are deprecated
5126: A system managed cache group cannot contain non-standard column type mapping
The command failed.
One of my filed type in oracle table is Varchar2(1800 CHAR). If I change the filed size to <=1000 it (E.g. Varchar2(1000 CHAR)) then the Create Cache command works fine.
MyDatabase Character Set is UTF8.
Is it possible to solve without changing the filed size in the Oracle Table?
Request your help on this.
Thanks,
Sunil

How to enter values for newly inserted field for maintenace view table

Hi ,
I have inserted new field for custom table which consits of maintance view..
I want to put some values in to this newly inserted field..
When i try to insert values bu useing se16,iam unable to view this newely inserted field..
Can you please let me know how can i insert values to this newely created field
Thanx,
Parnith

Hi Parnith,
It is easy to use a table maintainance to enter values to a database table....
if you have a table maintainace generator and you are not able to see the newly added field here is the reason
Everytime you add a new field , the table maintainance needs to be regenerated..The reason is that the screen you are using in the table maintainance is created within a program with respect to the fucntion group and not directly linked to the table..whenever you change the table,the function group is not affected and changes are not reflected in the table maintainance , so you have to regenerate by utilities-> table maintainance generator in sell for that table..once you do it , the function group assigned to the table automatically creates a new one with the latest fields added
Reward if helpful

How to update database table with key field?

Hello Experts,

SSOUR - Key
KUNNR   - Key
MENG1
MENG2
MENG3
And this table contains records like...
MSD50001     R      1000001     5.30    2.30    5.25
MSD50002     R      1000002     5.30    2.30    5.25

MSD50005     R      1000004     5.30    2.30    5.25
MSD50004     R      1000005     5.30    2.30    5.25
I have an internal table with same fields of above database table.
MSD50001     A      1000001     5.30    2.30    5.25
MSD50002     A      1000002     5.30    2.30    5.25

I want to update the DB table with following internal table records.
If internal table records = db table records are same then Update....else insert from internal table to db table.
But here, SSOUR is key field so i am not able to use
MODIFY dbtab from itab.
It results me , entries in internal table are inserted into db table.
So i have double records.
Is there any statement which updates the key field? and if no fields in db table then insert it?
Regards
RH

hi,
u cannot update akey field.u can update only non key fields by using key field as a selection criteria.For example if u go to sm30 if u enter any table for inserting values, the key field will always be greyed out it is not succumbed to chnges.but u can insert value into ,if ur inserting and in the insert staemnet if u have key field which is already present in the table it will return sy-subrc = 4 otherwise it will insert the record and return 0.
eg for update :
UPDATE zdm_wtyprof SET upload_status = 'S'
                         WHERE spart = wa_upd-spart.
here spart is the key field and it will update the status field in the table as S.
if updated succesfully it will return 0.
SIMILARLY U CAN USE select.

Hello Anybody, I have a question. Can any of you please suggest me how to make an xml file from the database table with all the rows? Note:- I am having the XSD Schema file and the resulted XML file should be in that XSD format only.

Hello Anybody, I have a question. Can any of you please suggest me how to make an xml file from the database table with all the records?

The Oracle documentation has a good overview of the options available
Generating XML Data from the Database
Without knowing your version, I just picked 11.2, so you made need to look for that chapter in the documentation for your version to find applicable information.
You can also find some information in XML DB FAQ

What is the use of initial value in a database table?

Hi can anyone help me in knowing what is the use of initial value which is present besides primary key while creating a table?

Initial Value:
Indicator that NOT NULL is forced for this field
Use
Select this flag if a field to be inserted in the database is to be filled with initial values. The initial value used depends on the data type of the field.
Please note that fields in the database for which the this flag is not set can also be filled with initial values.
When you create a table, all fields of the table can be defined as NOT NULL and filled with an initial value. The same applies when converting the table. Only when new fields are added or inserted, are these filled with initial values. An exception is key fields. These are always filled automatically with initial values.
Restrictions and notes:
The initial value cannot be set for fields of data types LCHR, LRAW, and RAW. If the field length is greater than 32, the initial flag cannot be set for fields of data type NUMC.
If a new field is inserted in the table and the initial flag is set, the complete table is scanned on activation and an UPDATE is made to the new field. This can be very time-consuming.
If the initial flag is set for an included structure, this means that the attributes from the structure are transferred. That is, exactly those fields which are marked as initial in the definition have this attribute in the table as well.
hope it helps,

1-Level 1
2-Level 2
3-Level 3

Thanks,
Ameet

Hi Divya,
I checked with the screen and report which is mentioned by you. But I want to modify/make changes that should appear in the screen when you view details for a particualar employee in Qualifications(IT0024).
Please refer the screen 2000 of module pool MP002400 in SE80. In that screen I want to make change as listbox with key.
Can it be achieved in the same way as mentioned by you before by making standard SAP report as Z and then modify using layout editor?
Please help me out. I think I am almost there.
Thanks,
Ameet

Hi,
You need to a script and run it on os level. Here is an example:-
emcli relocate_targets -src_agent=agentmachine1.domain:3872
-dest_agent=agentmachine2.domain:3872 -target_name=RACDB
-target_type=oracle_database -copy_from_src -force=yes

Hi
Here you are modifying your dbtable in module pool programming
so better to use work area to modify the database table
example:
data: itab type table of zfsl_stinf .
data: wa_itab type itab.
select single * from zfsl_stinf INTO itab WHERE <condition>
(pass your values to wa_itab.)
modify zfsl_stinf from values of wa_itab.
