Increase of length for bank a/c

Currently we are running TT payments for overseas vendors who have bank a/c exceeding the maximum length eg. China based on ISO is 18 digits but the bank a/c is 19 digits. Is it possible to increase? How we handle the idoc file. What's are tasks to be carried out?
Kindly advise

Hi Veronica,
Try t.code OY17 as referred in OSS Notes 389649
also there is OSS# 115002 DME for house bank account numbers w/more than 18 digits
China
- Different account number formats in part with more than 18 digits
- Save the first 18 digits in the 'Bank account number' field
- If the Chinese bank account number is longer than 18 digits,
then save the remaining digitsin the 'Reference specifications for bank details' field
Hope this helps.

Increase String Length for Plant Field (WERKS)

Hi SAP Gurus,
Good day!
My requirement is as follows:
1. I have around 20 companies with at least 50 "plants" per company
2. In my legacy system, I am using a 3-digit code to identify the unique "plants" within a particular company code
3. There are instances of similar entries for "plants" belonging to different company codes. For example, Company 1 has a plant 101 which is located in the northern part of the city while Company 2 also has a plant 101 but located on the souther part of the city
4. Upon migration to SAP, I am requiring that I will know that upon first glance of the plant field, I will know immediately which plant (Plant-Company code combination) I am referring to
The workaround that I thought of initially was to have the first digit of the plant code act as a prefix to identify the company code and then the last three digits mapped to the old naming convention. In our example in 3, the first plant can be A101 (A = company 1) and the other B101 (B=company 2)
However, due to the nature of my business, I am constantly creating new company codes...and that in less than 5 years time, I may already use up all the available prefixes (letters+numbers)
I am thinking if there is a way to expand the plant field to say 6 characters, although this will involve customization. I am not sure as well how this would affect the interdependencies for the enterprise structure since the plant is one of the fundamental units in SAP. Aside from the fact that customizing the plant field may have other effects on support packages that may need to be installed in the future.
Any suggestions?
BR,
Puck

Hi,
I understand your requirement but it is not at all advisable to increase the lenght of the plant field.
You can use plants starting from 0001 till 9999( also the different combinations of the alphabets). Let the description of the plant include company code.
Once you start using the system you will recognize the plant by it's code with the company code.
It seems that you are a user and not a SAP consultant.
Please consult your SAP consultant to understand the importance of the plant.
The plant code is used in several tables in SAP.If you try to change the lenght of the plant field in one table you have to change it for all the tables, which itself is a very big project.
Changing the plant is not customizing, it requires some special technical skills with skilled people.
Try to drop the idea of increasing the lenght of the field to avoid incosistancies in the system.
try to map all your plants in 4 digit code.
Cheers,
Satish Purandare

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 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';

Increasing the length of Infoobject from 60 to 240 characters

Hi...
I want to increase the length of the infoobject from 60 to 240 characters, because that particular field in R/3 has texts with length 200 characters.
I want to create 4 infoobjects each of length 60, breakup the texts coming from R/3, in transfer rules, by writing the transfer routine for each infoobject stating, first 60 char of the r/3 field into the first infoobject and so on.
Did anyone write such routine? If so, can u provide me with the code?
Thanks a lot.
Sai.

Hi Sai,
I usually prepare data before load cutting long texts into parts (in case of flat files I use Access for it, for DB Connect create a view).
But for future usage it would be usefull to do it in a routine.
The task seemed to be very easy, but some important nuances have appeared.
Note: I always prefer to keep parts of the long description in the long texts of separate chars. The reasons for this: Possibility to use time-dependent texts and texts with lowercase letters without problems with SIDs.
So, I use one main object with child objects (which keep parts of the text) as attributes. The long text of the main object keeps the first 60 (or 59) symbols of the long description. In this case I create either main or child IOs not as CHAR 60, but as another type depending on the key field of the incoming description (for example, for a material description it may be its code). In the codes below I use 0ADDR_LINE1 - 0ADDR_LINE4 standard IOs for description parts in order not to create 4 objects of CHAR 60 which I will not use.
So, here is a result.
For simplicity I assume that I have only 4 IOs like 0ADDR_LINEx and one IO as a main char.
1. Case of load from flat files
- Create a flexible infosource.
- Put there the main char and 0ADDR_LINE1, 0ADDR_LINE2, 0ADDR_LINE3, 0ADDR_LINE4.
- After assigning a source system the transfer structure is created automatically.
- Since in the comm structure (which the system uses as a template for creation TS and TRs) the 0ADDR_LINE1 char has a length 60, we need to increase the length of this object upto 240 symbols in the TS.
- Main char and 0ADDR_LINE1 wil have 1:1 mapping in transfer rules.
- Mapping of the other chars depends on type of routine we use
- In case of a start routine, all other chars are to be mapped as 1:1 also. Its important, because in the start routine (which works BEFORE the work of routines for particular chars) we create values for them and 1:1 mapping is placed these values into IOs. If these IOs are not mapped, then regardless of existing data for them in the data package, theyll not be updated at all.
The start routine code:
FIELD-SYMBOLS <fs> TYPE TRANSFER_STRUCTURE.
LOOP AT DATAPAK ASSIGNING <fs>.
<fs>-ADDR_LINE2 = <fs>-ADDR_LINE1+60(60).
<fs>-ADDR_LINE3 = <fs>-ADDR_LINE1+120(60).
<fs>-ADDR_LINE4 = <fs>-ADDR_LINE1+180(60).
MODIFY DATAPAK FROM <fs>.
ENDLOOP.
* abort <> 0 means skip whole data package !!!
ABORT = 0.
As an alternative its possible to create routines for ADDR_LINE2, ADDR_LINE3 and ADDR_LINE4.
The code is very simple:
RESULT = TRAN_STRUCTURE-ADDR_LINE1+180(60).
* returncode <> 0 means skip this record
RETURNCODE = 0.
* abort <> 0 means skip whole data package !!!
ABORT = 0.
This is for ADDR_LINE4. For the other IOs the offset will be 60 and 120.
2. Case of loading from R/3 or 3rd parties systems.
Routines for ADDR_LINE2, ADDR_LINE3 and ADDR_LINE4 is a straightforward solution. In case of a start routine, the source system should supply besides the long description 3 additional dummy fields with length 60. And mapping will be 1:1 for all fields.
The rest is simple inserting main and child IOs as data targets, creating update rules for them with proper mapping to incoming from a comm structure ADDR_LINEx values. Value of main IO should be set as a key field for all IOs.
Best regards,
Eugene

How to increase the length of the Info object

Hi All
Any one have idea about how to increse the length of the Info object Char(beyond 60). Can you please explain me in detail we are using BI7.0.
Thanks
Vani

Hello Vani,
You cannot increase the length of an info-object beyond 60 chars.However if you want to store a characteristics data with more than length 60, then you may create separate info-objects
for example: if you need to store 'notes' which might have length more than 60,
then you may create info-objects like notes 1/3 ---store first 60 chars.
notes 2/3 --- store next 60 characters and so on.
Thanx

How to Increase the length of Material Code (MATNR)

Hi all,
I have the requirement to increase the size of Material code (from 18 characters to 30 Characters) .
Is their any provision for this in ERP 2005.
Let me know.
regards,
Sheo

You should not increase the length of the field.
You can do it by changing the domain for MATNR, but then you have to modify all programs and screens where MATNR is used.
The only impact of this is that SAP will disown your implementation and will not provide any free support. You have to pay their hefty consulting fee every time
Hope this answers,

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.*;

hi
the dscription u can give it in basic data text
but retriving that will be difficult
it is to be done by ur abaper using the functional module read_text with help of tables STXH and STXL are used to store long text in SAP.
now plz consult ur abaper for this
refer following

You can Use additional data Basic Data Text or Purchase Order Text.
Long Texts are Stored in STXH & STXL Tables and the Same can be Retrieved thru FM READ_TEXT in SE37. Communicate your abaper Once......
