Increase character length of a characterisitic

Can we increase the length of a characteristic created by CT04.. Standard length of for Data Type Char is 30 characters. I need this length to be increased by 150 characters. is it possible?

Dear,
The field size cannot be changed in the standards I think it would be possible by assigning the Z-field to your Characteristics by your Abaper which is least advised as Ketul said SAP will stop supporting that field.
And this field is only the Characteristic short description for ease to search, if you require more characters please see that long text is already available next to description field where you can use all 255 Characters for your description.

Increase the length of a character array

hello,
i need to increase the length of my character array.i tred using ArrayUtils class which supports setSize method to set the size of a previously declared character array.But,i have no idea of how to import that class.i meant 'which package to use' for it. plz help me out of this
thanks

use ArrayList or StringBuffer or String Builder class.
or
use ArrayList to get the input at run time and use toArray() method to change the list to array.
there is no option available to change the size of the array once created.
there is no Arraysutils package , it is util.Arrays.
u import,
import java.util.*;
or
import static java.util.Arrays.*;

How to increase the length of description

Dear Guru's
we want to increase the length of Decription field in thBOM Item line 1 item line 2.can we increase the length.presently its having 40 characters capacity.
Thanks & Rgds
Pankaj Agarwal

1.I dont think this is possible as this is a standard SAP requriement.
2.check the data eleaement -which has the 40 as character lenth.
so it is not recomended to change it.
Solution
3.You can use the ItemLongTEXT - which doesnt have any restriction in the lenght.
so dont change the standard setting use the itmelONGTEXT this should solve ur issue

To increase the length of a vanilla column

Hello Everyone,
I have a situation, where I have to increase a length of a vanilla column in siebel.
I have to increase the length of a base column CORP_STOCK_SYMBOL of a vanilla table S_ORG_EXT. From the tools level I can't do this as it does not allow me to.
If I can make the change from the backend, it won't reflect the same in the tools(Logical Level). But in the DB level you can see that the length has altered. But when u try to update a value and then open the application it throws an SQL error. What I am thinking is, though the length is altered at the physical level, in logical level it has not changed therefore i guess the SQL error is popping.
Or can I alter the S_COLUMN table itself? If it is done, I fear the problem while migrating this to different environment.
Please let me know the solution for this if any of you people have encountered the similar situation.

If you insist on increasing the length of the column, I would get Oracle involved.
Another option might be to use a different column or create a new column.

How to increase the length of a message in message class

Hi Friends,
Is there any way to increase the length of a message in a message class as the maximum length is 72 chars.
My requirement is I cannot use the Long text option.
Thank You

HI,
We cannot change the message length in the message class
but you can do one thing ,
while giving the message in your msg class write till which you are allowed to and then you put '&'
eg : this is message &
now goto text elements and create a text element suppose T00
and write the remaining text in that text element.
and when you want to display the message do it like
message i00(zmsg_class) with text-T00.
it ll work.
*****Reward if useful,
Thanks & Regards,

How to increase the length of a columnin existing publication item

We need to urgently increase the length of three columns in one of the tables that is sent offline as a publication item. I have searched everywhere to see if there is a procedure to see this. I only found process to add/drop columns but not modify to JUST increase the length.
Can we just alter the tables on the server and republish the application? Will that cause any data loss on the client end?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Sireesha

I totally forgot about this method. Metalink had it in the headlines today and remembered your question.
This should work for you.
Applies to:
Oracle Lite - Version: 10.2.0.1.0 to 10.2.0.2.0
Information in this document applies to any platform.
Goal
The Goal of this Document is to show the right steps when it is necessary to increase the Column Size for a table
which is used for the Synchronization with Oracle Lite 10GR2
BECAREFULL, it is not supported to change the Column Size or make any Schema Evolution on the Primary key
as The Synchronization Algorithm is based on Primary key
Solution
Create table test_sec (col1 number(10); varchar2(10));
alter table test_sec add primary key (col1));
Create Publication: PUB_TEST_SEC
Create Publication: PI_TEST_SEC: select COL1, COL2 from scott.TEST_SEC fast
Refresh, server wins, weight = 1 and add it to the Publicatio PUB_TEST_SEC
Synchronize this PUB_TEST_SEC
On the Server: increase the col2 WHICH IS NOT A PK, from 10 to 15
alter Table scott.TEST_SEC modify (col2 (varchar2(15));
To get the new Column Size on the olite DB, you need to alter the Publication item too using for example this code:
import java.sql.*;
import java.io.*;
import oracle.lite.sync.Consolidator;
import oracle.lite.sync.ConsolidatorManager;
import oracle.mobile.admin.*;
public class PublicationChange {
public static void main(String argv[]) throws Throwable
DriverManager.registerDriver ((Driver)Class.forName ("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver").newInstance());
ConsolidatorManager consolidatorManager = new ConsolidatorManager();
consolidatorManager.openConnection("mobileadmin","manager","JDBC:ORACLE:thin:@suppolite1.fr.oracle.com:1521:PROD");
System.out.println("Connected");
try
/*You need to put a Select Statment lightly different from the Publication item,
if you will use the same select statment, it won't take in Account
if you used: select * from owner.table to create the Publication Item
you need to use: select * from owner.table for the alterPublicationItem API
consolidatorManager.alterPublicationItem("PI_TEST_SEC","SELECT * FROM SCOTT.TEST_SEC");
System.out.println("Pub Item recreated");
catch (Throwable e) {
e.printStackTrace();
try
consolidatorManager.closeConnection();
System.out.println("The installation is done!");
} catch (Throwable e) {
Compile and run this java code.
Synchronize
Check your table Description on Oracle Lite Database to verify that this Schema Evolution has worked as expected.

How to increase the length of the identifier?

I want to create a table with a column name as:
"domainnameregistrationassistance"
oracle 9i does not allow me to do this.
as the identifier length is fixed to 30 characters.
how do i increase the length of the identifier?
any help on this will be great!

Don't forget that there is a comment space for each table
and column, so calling the column DNR_ASSIST doesnt
revent you from doing ...
COMMENT ON TABLE M_SCHEMA.DNR_ASSIST IS '
Domain Name Registration Assistance';

How to increase the length of message in status bar

Hi all,
I need to show an error message in the status bar of the ABAP editor when an error occurs in the program. But the error message is not fully getting displayed, it is getting truncated. Is there any way to increase the length of the message in the status bar.

You can display upto 73 charcters ,if you need more than this then create one text element .
here you can have 132 charcters.
parameters p_matnr like mara-matnr.
start-of-selection.
message s999(z01) with text-005.
Create message class with & & & & & & ( Message short text ).
This way you can show maximum 132 charcters.
Thanks
