Regarding Field Lengths

Hi All,
Suppose My Scenario is to Send the Vendor Details From SAP ECC To File.
Here In ECC we have the Fields with Field Lengths with 20 Char , But in the File We have the Fields with Field Lengths with 10 Char.
So in this case Is the Data will be Posted to File Successfully OR Any Error will Come
How To do this in Mapping Time
Regards
Vamsi

Hey,
Don't complicate.
Just in FCC set NameA.fixedLengthTooShortHandling
= Ignore / Cut. Depending on the requirement.
Ignore:Ignore means that the system applies the value completely, regardless of it being too long.
Cut:Cut means that a value is shortened to the maximum permitted length
Further reference.

Regarding field length in alv

hi experts,
i have a small doubt in alv.
In fieldcat i have one field called amount and am defining its length 19.
but actual its length in database is 14.when i tried to display the this amount field using reuse_alv_list_display the data in amount field is showing only 14 digits,but i need to display its total length(even if it is greater than database length).........
correct answers rewarded with maximum points????????????

Hi
Check while preparing Fieldcatalog you are giving length 19 to this amount fields .
For this u have a option of output length in fieldcatalog .
Try this .
Hope this helps .

R/3 Field length 80, BW field max allowed 60

Hi all,
Field ABC is in R/3 production system.
Its length is 80(CHAR).
This field data is now to be extracted to BW.
It is used in extract program and updated to an extract table(R/3), then this has be loaded into a master load(BW).
But in BW the field length allowed is 60(Max).
So how to get in this 80 char data into BW??
Please let me know in detail.
Also please share links pertaining to this if possible.
Thanks,
Sowrabh

Hi Sowrabh,
Create two Infoobjects one with length 60 and one with length 20.
Now in transfer rules write routines for both.
IOB1 = <r/3 field>+0(60)
IOB2 = <r/3 field>+60(20)

Hi friends,,
I am new to idoc.
My requirement is in my segment
i am having 5 fields and also this segment is already realeased one.
i wnat to change the field length from 10 to 20 . how to do this ?
actually what i did is
1. i cancel the release for that segment.
2. in that field inside the dataelement i changed the field length from 10 to 20.
3. data elemnt get chaged from 10 to 20 but Export length for that field in Idoc segment still retain the 10 only
can you plz how to resolve this

Hi,
The way you used is right. ( cancel release or create a new segment )
After you cancel release, try delete that field, and insert a new one.
If it isn't valid still, create a new segment instead.

What is the best way to declare field length 500 in internal table?

Hi all,
what is the best way to declare field length 500(constant value allways) in internal table?
I am trying to send data from internal table to file format, and I have a field in internal table with 500 length (constant value always). So how do I can declare and append this field value to table?
Thanks
Murali

Hi. Please see the following example program, notice how I am filling the field with the constant value.
report zrich_0001.
* CLASS lcl_main DEFINITION
class lcl_main definition.
public section.
 types: begin of ttab,
 fld1(500) type c,
 end of ttab.
 data: itab type table of ttab.
 data: xtab type ttab.
 methods: constructor,
 write_itab.
endclass.
* CLASS lcl_main IMPLEMENTATION
class lcl_main implementation.
method constructor.

 xtab-fld1 =
 'This is one part of the total string which needs to be really' &
 ' long and this is a constant and we need to move it to a work' &
 ' area and then append it to the internal table which has a' &
 ' field with a length of five hundred characters'.
 append xtab to itab.
endmethod.
method write_itab.
 loop at itab into xtab.
 write:/ xtab-fld1.
 endloop.
endmethod.
endclass.
data: o_main type ref to lcl_main.
start-of-selection.
create object o_main.
call method o_main->write_itab.

Control an Integer field Length without using Validation ??

Hi,
I have Couple of fields where I need to configure them as Integers.
Now each one has a fixed length that i need to limit to.
But when i create a field of type: integer, i cannot select teh length!!!
To achive this the idea i have is to write a validation which checks length..
But can i achive it without going for a validation on each field???
PS: I am aware that TEXT field can limit the length But it also allows me to enter text values, my requirement clearly says that to allow users to only enter Numeric values..
Did anyone face a similar Case?
Kind Regards
Eva

Hi Eva,
I didn't try in the system, but I feel there are two solutions to achieve your requirement (*of course in both cases you will need to write a simple validation)
Solution 1 : When field is defined as "Integer" in Console.
lets take an example, you want to restrict an integer field with a limit of max 4 characters.
Maximum value of a 4 character integer can be "9999". So, you can put a simple validation to compare the field value with 9999. if the value is less then this means fields values is less than 4 characters, else more than 5 characters.
In this case Your validation expression in expression editor will be:
FIELD NAME<= "9999"
Solution 2 : When field is defined as "Text" in Console.
In this case you can restrict the maximum field length through Console. But you will also need to write a validation to ensure that user is not entering any alphabets or special characters in this field.
In this Case you can use below validation:
HAS_ALL_CHARS(FIELD NAME, "0","9")
This will ensure that field has all characters between 0 and 9 and doesn't hold any special character or alphabets.
In Both cases you will need to set "Automatic Execution" property as "Error". Also please do not manually type any function or value in expression editor. use drop down for fields, operators, functions etc. and enter numeric values using the first blank box before dimension list.
Kindly revert if you face any issues.

FIXED FIELD LENGTH is not constant

Hello Guru's,
This is the question asked in IBM .
What will you do if field length of a field in flat file is not constant or not equal to the FIXED FILED LENGTH ?.
i.e. f1 is of length is 10 and in one row its length is only 9 what will happen and what will you do to overcome this situation.( consider its a FILE TO FILE SCENARIO )
can anyone help me in this regard.
Thanks in advance.

> This is the question asked in IBM .

The ans for this question is very simple.
Since your FIXED FIELD LENGTH is 10 correct. now if any value comes of length 9 or less, then there will be no problem at all. It will work perfectly without doing anything. BUT if your length goes beyond 10 then it will throw an error message which you can see in RWB.
Shorter length is never a problem in case of FIXED FIELD LENGTH.
I hope now you got the ans, but good way to learn is, to create a simple scenario and test it. )

How to change the field length in standard sap program.

Hi All,
How to change the field length in standard sap program.
Urgent
Example:
Text1 type c length 75,
To change :
Text1 type c length 150,
Point will be rewarded..
Thank you,
Vikram.C

If the only solution is to change the sap standard program, simply change the program, it will prompt for an access key. This key can be retrieved in the SAP support portal (service.sap.com) at keys and requests, sccr keys, register object.
Sometimes these actions are outsourced to a competence center, so maybe youre not entitled to do this, in any case ask a resident senior developer for support.

TCURR field TCURR_UKURS - field length is too short

Has ECC6 addressed the field length issue of 9 characters (5 decimals) in table TCURR field UKURS to cater for weak currencies, to avoid using ratios of 1000:1

Hi,
I don't see any issue. UKURS field has 9 characters, that's right; but, as you rightly mentioned, it should not pose any problem considering the ratio. Why ratio of 1000:1 is posing a problem for you?

I want to extend table "hr_location_extra_info_lei" column name "lei_information3" field length from 16 to 30 and was wondering if I can do this and how?

I am trying to extend the field length for colun lei_information 3 from 16 characters to 30 characters in the table hr_location_extra_info_lei, but cannot seem to do this. Can the length be changed and if so how?
Many thanks
Louise

Hi Louise,
All the "lei_informationX" columns in hr_location_extra_info table are of size VARCHAR2(150) (Oracle EBS R12).
So I understand why you're saying it's limited to 16 characters.
May it's only a question of your setup limiting it to 16 car., in which case you can easily change it to 30 by unfreezing the DFF and modifying it.

Form field length with CSS

Can I set the length of a from field with CSS? I set it via
html and it
seems to be longer in Mozilla over Safari and it breaks my
design that
way. So I am wondering, if there is a way to do this with CSS
in a more
precise way.
Thank you,
Brian

Consistent form field lengths are possible. See this article

Custom IDOC type Segment-field length change

Hello,
We have a custom segment developed for triggering Outbouds. I'm tring to change the Field length of a deta element used for one of the fields in the segment.
But after chaning the data element and activating it also, the changes are not effecting in WE31/ in the structure of the segment.
Process I'm following:
we31 <segment>
......cancel release
Change data element and activate
....set release.
Please suggest if something else can be done
Thanks,
Lucky.

> @Sarvesh: The IDOC segment has been released. I also re-imported the IDOC into XI - is that what you mean by 'reloaded'?
No, re-importing in XI is different from reloading the metadata into ABAP stack of XI using IDX2 transaction. So if you have not done this, then this could be the main reason of truncating the length.

Sarvesh
