Hi,
What data element you are about to change, you should take extra care before changing standard data elements as it may be used in many places.
Do a Where-Used list to determine nothing else will be affected because of this change.

Changing size of standard data element.

Hello here,
I need some clarification.
I have standard data element TIDNR - Technical identification number (Used in PM tables).
It has Data Type - CHAR and Length 25.
Is it possible to increase his length to 35?
Maybe, it is possible to create new data element ZTIDNR and make reference to TIDNR?
Or easily is to add some user field to equipment time segment?
Thank You in advance.

Hi andriy,
always be careful.
Check what the where-used-list says: It's not only the use in programs and database tables, all input/output fields are also affected and must be changed manually (which is a modification).
You may create an own translation table: If i.e. you allow only 96 characters as defined ind [CDC display code|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CDC_display_code] , this can be reduced to 8 characters in 6 bytes or 33 chars in the original data element. Some bit&byte operations required for the conversion. If you define your own code with, say only A-Z, 0-9 and space and some more you can reduce to 5 bits having 8 characters in 5 bytes and so forth.
If you are on unicode with 2 bytes per char, possibilties are even more...
Yes, it's kind of a challenge - but at least an idea.

Need new description for Data Element based on Company Code.

Hi,
Requirement: The data element AUFNR which has the description "Order Number" needs to have description as "Engagement Number" for a specific company code. All other company codes to retain the description "Order Number".
Example: There are three company codes: AAAA, BBBB and CCCC. The company code CCCC wants the description of data element: AUFNR as "Engagement Number" while AAAA and BBBB wants to retain the standard description: "Order Number".
Pre-Work: Before posting this question, i did search however have not found a solution for this.
In SAP i tried to create an Implicit Enhancement at:
Program: RADBTDDF
Sub Routine: SE_DD04T_ROLLNAME_ROLLNAME
However, as the program is SAP Basis program, i was not successful.
Any hints are appreciated and solution is rewarded.
Thanks for your time.
With Regards,
Goutham.

Dear Matthew,
Thank you for the reply.
I am giving some more details into the requirement.
If a user assigned to company code: CCCC (may not be directly, relationship will be drawn) has logged into the SAP system. If he opens the transaction related to Internal Order, like KO01, KO02, KO03 etc. He should be able to see the description of field: "Order Type" as "Engagement Type".
Similarly in the next screen the field "Order" needs to be displayed as "Engagement Number".
However, for users who belong to company codes: AAAA and BBBB the SAP Standard Descriptions will be shown.
Please let me know if this is possible or any inputs in that direction are highly appreciated.
Let me know if further details are required.
Best Regards,
Goutham.
P.S: As far as i know, Anees Jawad proposal would work if it is required to change the description at the system level.

Data element problem

Hi Experts
       I have used EBELN domain for my field, its length is 10,
      now i want to increase the length of the data element, what can i do.
      can i change the data element to the field ebeln.
      If i change it, will it affects the data in the production server which already transported to production.
Pls advise me on this same.

hi,
You cant change directly.It will ask Access Key.
changing SAP standard data element is so critical and it will never give the result you expected.
Because so many tables and programs use ebeln and do some validations on field size also.
Its like playing with standard programs.
Please do in other way like creating zebeln in se11 tcode and give size according to your requirement and use this for your field.
Reward if useful
Thanks

How to deal with the change of data element?

Hi, experts
My trouble's background is:
A CBO table(ZIEBTCIITM) saves invoice items .
There are three fields relevant to quantity in it.
And they have the corresponding data elements with the same type QUAN,13 characters and 3 decimals.
Now because the quantity is so small,for example 0.00004,that the 3 decimal digit is not suitable.
I want to change the CBO table to adapt my business,so the quantity fields' decimal should be expanded firstly,and there are transction data in the CBO table.
My question is :
1) Is it necessary to backup the CBO table before data element change?
2) What should I do is Only to expand the data elements' decimals?
Anyone can give me suggestion?

Hello Mic
To be on the save side I would suggest to export the table entries to Excel and create a transport request containing the original table and its entries:
R3TR TABL ZIEBTCIITM
R3TR TABU ZIEBTCIITM *
Next you should create your own data element (or search for a suitable standard data element), e.g. ZQUAN13_5 (13 digits, 5 decimals).
Replace the data element of the DB fields with your new data element and activate the DB table.
I expect that nothing will happen to the entries in the DB table except that your quantity fields should have 5 decimals now.

NAKISA-CHANGE DATA ELEMENT

Hi ,
I have enhanced the RFC interface '/NAKISA/OC_POSITION_DETAIL' by adding a new Export table .
However,this new export table is not reflected in NAKISA Admin Console when i am doing the operation " Edit/Create new data element connecting to SAP RFC"
for the data element "PositionDetailDataElement" under Export Tables Section.
Am I missing anything?....
Thanks!
Sunitha

Dear Sunitha,
Below the step i'm do for enhanced RFC interface :-
Step 1 : Copy RFC
In transaction code SE37, copy RFC /NAKISA/OC_POSITION_DETAIL to a new custom
RFC ZNAKISA_OC_POSITION_DETAIL (including its corresponding INCLUDE programs).
Step 2: Go to Data Center > Edit/Create new data element connecting to SAP RFC
Step 3: Check the checkbox to change the desired data element and click Next button.
Step 4: Search custom RFC by clicking on magnifying glass icon > click Ok to confirm.
*Note: Take a screenshot of ALL the configurations (import parameters, exported tables, field mappings, data field captions, data element properties etc) of the data element, changing to another RFC will refresh all configurations of the data element. Ensure that all configurations are the same as before, except that the RFC name has changed
Examples of configurations:
FYR –#1 Take a screenshot of the import parameters for all 3 pages, then do the same configurations after you’ve modified the RFC name.
FYR –#2 Take a screenshot of the exported tables, then do the same configurations after you’ve modified the RFC name.
FYR –#3 Take a screenshot of the data element properties for all 5 pages, then do the same configurations after you’ve modified the RFC name.

Creation of Data Element

Hi,
I am working on special project of Automation of all utility billing and housing system for a big company in SAP.
For that I have to create 26 tables and obviously I am creating a lot of dataelements.
Now the problem is my quality dept says that I should use the inbuilt data elements and refrain from creating new ones. In this case the field label is not matching my field. He says that who is going to see the table and says that you can change the field description in reports as you like. Is it justified.
I can see that there are more than 500 standard datalements created for a char field of length 4 by SAP. but none of the description matches my field description. if the case is of reducing the load then does sap recommend not to create z data elements.
Can we create dataelement just for the sake of field label and what is the other purpose of a dataelement if not
How much load will be generated by creating a dataelement.
kindly give some insight into the need to create dataelements.

Hi!
If your Quality people are that much particular about creation of data elements, there is one way to solve this problem. Use standard data elements.
I know here you will get a doubt that after creating a maintenance generator you will not be able to see the description whatever you want in SM30. For this follow the below procedure.
While creating maintenance generator you will give the function group name right, go to SE80 -> and give the function group name there -> double click on the screen number of maintenance -> click on element list tab -> click on 'Texts/I/O templates' tab -> now against the field names under 'Text or I/O Field' column remove the value '+____________' and type the field description there -> repeat the procedure for all the fields -> now save, check and activate the screen as well as function group.
Now if you go to SM30, you can see the field description for every field.
This is somewhat time consuming, but it may help you.
Reward points, if useful.

Venkat.

For Templete source I gave ZFORM name, and it automatically created a 'NODE' wrt the context in the ZFORM.

Converting char data element to curr data element?

Hi,
In one of the transaction we have a custom field (Amount field) - but they used char data element for this currency field. And now in this field if we dont supply amount value in Currency format then the program is dumping.
I need to solve this situation.
1. This data element is using in lot of various tables, views and structures. So If I change this data element then how to handle rest of the object?
Do we have any other solution to solve this issue?
Please share your opinions.
Thanks a lot.
Venkat.

Hi thanks for your information.
What ever the field I am talking about in the transaction, the same field has been created in several SAP tables,structures and views. So If I change the data element for this field its going to impact all other objects?
But I am in the process of finding why this data element(currency field) has been created in char fomat.
So if I change in the data element all other tables,views do I need to activate again? or when I activate this data element is it take cares?
If I want to use field exit, as this is a custom field we can create field exit for this?
Thanks a lot for ur information.
Venkat.
