Naming conventions for data types

In my functional specs I have been given field names
Client Number
Record Type
Customer Name and so on
I need to create custom data types for all these and assign them to std values (vbak-kunnr, adrc-name1)
I am trying to determine what is the best naming convention to use for my custom data types
Would the convention be to use, new_kunnr, new_adrc_name1 or perhaps just ClientNumber, RecordType, CustomerName and so on

I think its best I include my scenario so people can better answer my question
My report has four different parts, each has a filler, record type, customer number which need to be initialized to certain values that are different
The four parts are Name/Address, Credit Order, Sub total and Total
Name/Address has Record type = A , customer number = vbak-kunnr
Credit Order has Record type = R, customer number = vbak-kunnr
SubTotal has Record type= space and customer number = 99
Total has Record type = S and customer number = 9999
So I have to create variables for these and am trying to figure out a proper naming convention
I could do RecordType_Name, RecordType_CreditOrder and so on but that does not seem the best way to me. Any ideas!

  • PO Naming Convention for specific company code

    Please help.

  • Can anyone tell me the naming conventions for PSa tables

    hi all,
    After the data is loaded into the psa. how to look at the records that are there in psa. And can anyone tell me the naming conventions for psa tables.
    like BIC/????
    thanxs in advance
    regds
    hari

    Hi Hari,
    You want to know the naming convention of PSA table. For that there is a simple technique try this.
    Go to - T code SE11
    In the database table check box give  /BI*  and click search
    next window  in the Description Text box give the r data source name(master)  like
    YIO_ID_ATTR which is assigned to infosource. then click OK.
    then you get the psa table structure.
    You can take structure and check in the T code SE 11
    Hope this is fine.

  • Naming convention for packages and classes

    Hi all,
    Is there any naming conventions for packages and classes which uses a design pattern ?. If yes what are the conventions used for business delegate,session facade, service locator,DAO and any other patterns.
    rgds
    Anto Paul

    Hi,
    that is a good question and one we have considered also. We dont yet cover the naming conventions for classes based on patterns but maybe will in the future. Currently, in the blueprints apps we tend to do some things like naminga class
    -AccountDAO etc for DAOs
    -For servicelocator we have a class called ServiceLocator viewable at https://adventurebuilder.dev.java.net/source/browse/adventurebuilder/ws/components/servicelocator/src/java/com/sun/j2ee/blueprints/servicelocator/web/ServiceLocator.java?rev=1.4&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup
    -for session facade, its a bit trickier since the name is so long and we cant add "SessionFacade" to the end of each facade class. I think in general we put "Facade" in the name, usually near the end
    -For Business Delegat, again it seems too long to add to each class name. So in the past we have added
    a "BD" to the names of the delegates. Some examples are at http://java.sun.com/blueprints/patterns/BusinessDelegate.html
    -For transfer objects we usually add a TO to the end of the name. Some examples at http://java.sun.com/blueprints/patterns/TransferObject.html
    Seems like something we could get a bit more consistent about.
    hope that helps,
    Sean

  • Naming Convention for  path in Application Server

    Hello Guru's,
                        I asked my basis team to create flat file source system. he asked me " what path to follow, any sub directories"?.  
    they are asking me naming convention for a path in App server to create i think ? usually what will be the naming convention for path.
    please help me
    Thanks,
    Prashanth

    Hi,
    Create flatfile source system is no need path and sub directory on app server. You can create yourself go TCODE RSA1>Source system>file-->create.
    path and sub directory only need if you want to load data from flatfile which is stored in application server. This will be determined in extraction tab of your datasource and infopackage.
    Hope this helps.

  • Code Inspector - Naming conventions &mExtended Naming conventions for Progs

    Hi experts,
    I had a look into the naming conventions enforced by 'DEFAULT' variant of code inspector (SCI).
    the relevant categories are: "Naming Conventions", and "Extended Naming conventions for Programs" under "Programing conventions".
    in the "Extended Naming conventions for Programs" category, for functions, (applicable while calling the functions) it says,
    importing parameter : I[:type:]_
    exporting parameter : E[:type:]_
    changing parameter  : C[:type:]_
    tables parameter    : T[:type:]_
    but in the "naming conventions" category, for functions (applicable while defining the functions), it says,
    importing parameter : P_*
    exporting parameter : P_*
    changing parameter  : P_*
    tables parameter    : P_*
    I felt, while defining the function too, its better to have beginning with  I_, E_, C_ or T_ instead of P_
    is the 'DEFAULT' variant of code inspector is provided and recommended by SAP?
    for easier maintenance and clearer understanding, which naming convention is more suitable, or is there any official guidelines released by SAP for ABAP developers.
    appreciate the opinions from experienced abap developers.
    thanks,
    Madhu_1980

    Frank,
    Thanks for your answer.
    But what about Entity Objects, View Objects, View Links, and Application Modules.
    I would like my developers to have an easy way to name them and also find them via intellisense.
    So I was thinking in naming them the following way :
    Entity Objects :
    EO_Employee
    EO_Department
    View Objects :
    VO_Employees
    VO_Departments
    View Links :
    VL_EmployeesToDepartments
    Application Module :
    AM_HRService
    However the use of "_" is not so "Java naming oriented".
    So other alternatives would be:
    1. take the "_" :
    1.1 EOEmployee (I don't like the fact of having 3 capital letters together).
    1.2 EoEmployee (I don't like the fact of having Entity Object with a lowercase "o").
    2. Use the prefix at the end, but this way I loose the intellisense feature I want:
    ex: EmployeeEO
    Which naming approach are you using for big projects ?
    Thanks,
    Claudio.

  • Whats most common naming convention for MP3s (what does iTunes store use?)

    Trying to organise all my tags and music.
    I am using iTunes and some other tag (tag%rename) WMP etc, as some seem to not show all the tgs of other programs)
    However what is the generalised, most common naming convention for MP3 files?
    ie. track no, Album, artist etc.
    Also Ive never bought music from iTunes store yet, only got podcasts and stuff, but when you do , what is the filename convention they use please?
    cheers
    Mac OS X (10.5) iMac 20" 2Ghz (1st ever Mac Comp)

    iTunes has no automatic tag look up function for anything other than CDs (through GraceNote). I import a lot of mp3s (legally obtained) that need tweaking. Also, GraceNote doesn't provide lyrics. If I just need to edit a couple of tracks, the iTunes interface is fine. But for bulk adding of artwork or searching for release dates or lyrics, I use MpFreaker. I find it works best if you do small batches and keep an eye on what it comes up with. Sometimes, well, rarely, it's way off base.
    There may be better utilities out there but MpFreaker was recommended to me by someone I trust who spends a lot of time reviewing such things and it works for me so I haven't looked for anything else. You might find more reviews of other software at www.ilounge.com
    Best of luck.

  • Oracle Recomanded Naming Conventions for SOA

    Hi,
    We are working on a 12i implementation project using SOA (BPEL) for interface development and Oracle Data Integrator for conversion. Could you please let us know about oracle recomanded naming conventions for
    1. Adapter Service
    2. Adapter Connection Factories
    3. Routing Services
    4. XSD Files
    5. XSL Transformation Files
    6. ...etc
    Is there any oracle corporation provided naming conventions document on these? If so please let us know. Your quick help would be highly appreciated.
    Regards

    If the names are meaningful (which will depend on what objects are in the different schemas) and the underlying architecture is reasonable, then the naming convention would be a good practice.
    - How do the objects in the ABC schema relate to the objects in the ABC_ADMIN schema?
    - What, exactly, does the _ADMIN suffix indicate?
    My unfounded guess is that you have two related schemas because you're creating one schema that owns the objects and another schema that has restricted access to those objects (ideally just via procedures, functions, and views) for applications to use to log in. If that's the case, it's not obvious to me which of ABC and ABC_ADMIN would own the objects for the ABC application. But if you're actually separating the objects for other reasons, then _ADMIN may make perfect sense.

  • Domain for data type in Oracle 8i database

    Hi Sir,
    Does Oracle database supports domain creation for data type.
    for example, can I create a domain called shorttext which is VARCHAR2(50). Then when I specify a data type for a column in table, then I just declare the column as domain.
    eg. address SHORTTEXT;
    --where SHORTTEXT is a domain.
    How is this implemented in Oracle database and supported by front end tools like Oracle Developer 6.0.
    Hope someone can provide some clear explanation on this.
    Thanks.

    The ordimagesignature is not something you can see or hear. It is strictly binary metadata about the image, used only to compare images to each other.

  • Date type-specific Customizing missing for date type ACTActPln

    Hi all.
    I'm using a Web Service obtained by copying the CRM 7.0 built-in WS APPTACTCRTRC.
    I'm using it to create Appointments using an Adobe Interactive Form.
    It goes everything fine (a Date is created in the system, with all the input data properly set) excepted the dates...
    The WS uses two TIMESTAMPS, TIMESTAMP_FROM for StartDateTime and TIMESTAMP_TO for EndDateTime, whereas the GUI transaction to create Dates accepts dates and times in separated fields.
    Going in Debug I can see that the execution ends with the following error, referred to the involved entity (CRM_APPOINTMENT):
    Date type-specific Customizing missing for date type ACTActPln
    CRM_APPOINTMENT uses date profile 0000000001 with three possible date types: ORDERACTUAL, ORDERPLANNED and ORDERPROPOSED and I cannot find anywhere date type ACTActPln (just to add it in customizing).
    Is anyone able to enlight me?
    Thank you in advance!

    PS I've years of experience in Java programming but I'm quite new to the SAP world. Maybe the problem is not a problem at all, but it seems to me as such. Even if it has a trivial solution, please let me know. Thx!

    Hi,
    Well I was about to write that you should enter date in decimal format. but you already did that as mentioned in How to set a date in a Form where the bound date format is a decimal?
    In response to following from above thread (copied for others to understand my response)
    Hi all.
    I'm successfully using the LiveCycle Designer and I've managed to remotely create Appointments using a CRM Web Service (a mere copy of APPTACTCRTRC).
    The only problem I'm encountering is that I'm not able to set the dates/times (start and end of the appointment).
    Dragging each of the two fields from the WSDL based Data Connection I obtain a Decimal Field limited to 15 digits.
    How can I write a date and time in such a field?
    I've tried with a retroverse date as YYYYMMDDHHmmss (for example, 20100301124500) but it does not work
    (the appointment is indeed created, but with the start date and time fields filled with
    the current date/time and the end date and time fields filled with the current date and time plus 10 minutes).
    The retroverse date above is only 14 digit long, so, maybe, this is the problem.
    But, given the field definition, I'm not able to fill a blank space between the date and the time.
    I'm not able to put a dot either.
    What should I do?
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you in advance.
    Alessandro
    15 digit in UTC time format here is fraction of second so you should enter 201003011245000 (add one more zero).
    14th Oct 2010 16:00 should be written as 201010141600000, so just try it and and see if it works, I guess if you do not supply end time then by default it will be starttime + 10 min but this is just guess.
    Regards,
    Gourav

  • [Q] Using viewCriteria for Date type

    To Query data, I used ViewCriteria.
    But it works well for Varchar2, Number type.
    But it does not work for Date type.
    for example
    If I set variables like the below, it works,
    attrName = "OrdName";
    attrValue = "Nick";
    But, If I set variables like the below, it does not work
    attrName = "AppDate";
    attrValue = "04.5.12";
    ViewCriteria vc = order.createViewCriteria();
    ViewCriteriaRow vcr = vc.createViewCriteriaRow();
    vcr.setAttribute(attrName, attrValue);
    vc.addElement(vcr);
    order.applyViewCriteria(vc);
    order.executeQuery();
    Can I solve this problem ?

    using a custom expression in the view criteria, ex.
    vcr.setAttribute("DateField", "LIKE TO_DATE('" + dateField.toString() + "', 'yyyy-mm-dd')");
    similarly, you can use other expressions to remove the default BC4J problems w/ dates (>, <, between) - At least I know you can't use = to get it to work right.
    The default handling of BC4J is to say = TO_DATE(whatever you put in the value portion) where it needs to be LIKE to work properly - for some reason - probably a patch is available for it.

  • Naming conventions for CMS tracks

    Hello all,
    i want to setup CMS for XI transports and create some naming conventions for track id, track name and track description. I studied the howto guides, help.sap.com and searched the forum but i still have no satisfying answer for some questions.
    Repository Transports
    As i read on a blog it would be a good idea to create separate tracks for each SWCV. To think about an unique name for track id and track name it's worth knowing if one SWCV can be assigned to more than one track. If not the SWCV would be sufficient to identify the track. Otherwise i have to add some prefix/suffix to make the track unique.
    Directory Transports
    For Integration Directory track there is only one SWC on CMS available, SAP-INTDIR. Is it possible to create two tracks on one CMS with SAP-INTDIR for supplying two independent XI lines with directory content? For example one track for XD1 -> XQ1 -> XP1 and another for XD2 -> XQ2 -> XP2. If so the SWC alone is again not sufficient to identify the track.
    If anybody has already thought about naming track id and track name i would be pleased to hear about your approach.
    Kind regards,
    Frank Opitz
