UserID field length

Hi All,
What is the maximum length of userid field in ECC6. From the screen we can say its 12, but is there any paremater where we can set the maximum length or increase the length of the userid field.
Your answers are much appreciated.
Regards,
Sandhya

Hi,
afaik, SAP user ID is stored on table USR02 on field BNAME and data element XUBNAME type CHAR with
maximum length 12. Although CHAR allow more than 12 character length, but SAP standards delivers username (USR02-BNAME) maximum for 12 character-long only.
modify SAP standard should be avoided to meet your purpose, but if it is needed, you may contact SAP Global Support first, elaborate your need and asking whether negative impact will follow that change.
to change, ask your ABAP to change this (or any user with developer access key)
hope it help you.

Signon user name field length

Folks - this might be a VERY simple question, but here goes.
We have been trying to confirm the userid length available in ECC6/etc. Knowing that this has been constrained in previous releases to a shorter field length, i.e.?12? chars...we want to be able to use a firstname.lastname login format via SAP GUI, which for many of our users exceeds that character count.
Can someone confirm that the permissable field length has been extended?
thanks in advance,
Al

Hi Al,
the username field in ABAP systems has still 12 character length. The username is stored in upper case.
However, if you are running a SAP NetWeaver Portal you have another option:
- You use an LDAP directory as the user store for the portal -> The username is not limited anymore.
- You add an additional LDAP attribute (e.g. SAPusername) to map the entries to the ABAP username (which still is limited to 12 character upper case)
- You use LDAP syncronization in the ABAP system to keep the users in the directory and in the ABAP in sync.
- Finally you use the Single Sign-On capabilities to call ABAP applications using the portal.
Kind regards
Frank
P.S. The ITS is able to use the alias-field in the ABAP user master record, too. See Online Help for details:

How to create an infotype with one of its field length eq 1000.??

hi ,
i need to create a infotype where one of the field length is 1000 characters how do i achieve this. if i give more than 255 in the PS structure it will not allow. then how do i get a text field of 1000 chars in the screen ( which is an input field)

You can use those function calls even inside a PA Infotype.. they just invoke the text ediotr table control.. I gave you the reference of the PD infotype 1002 just for an idea. I don't think you will able to meet your 1000 char reqt without using the text editor.

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)

CATT - vendor/customer master address field length over

Dear all,
when use CATT to record vendor/customer master,the address some fields length are over recorded field length(ex. ADDR1_DATA-NAME4,ADDR1_DATA-STR_SUPPL3...etc)
is there any config in CATT to solve this kind of problem?

When you are doing your LSMW batch input recording, on selection screen (where you specify the sales org, distribution channel, division, account group, etc) please put a flag on "Use central address management" checkbox (SAPMF02D 0100 > USE_ZAV).
In this case you should be able to see and fill the desired fields.

Idoc segment field length changes

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
deva

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.

Getting correct field length when creating formats for delimited flat files

Using Data Services 3.2 to pull in tsv and Excel source files.
When creating a new format for each file, DS tries to intelligently set the field size for each column. However, it seems to sample only a portion of the file. The end result is that it often determines too short a length for a field.
Is there a way to force it to scan an entire file before it sets the field length? Or alternatively, how to get it to at least throw an error instead of silently truncating my data?

I am not aware of any way to force DS to scan the whole file, or to log a warning when it truncates. The field sizes DS sets by using a sample of the data is only really to give you a starting point, you need to try and determine the maximum possible lengths preferably from someone who understands the source of the data or through profiling. But the profiling method will obviously only be based on the data you have at the time of profiling, new data added to the source later could exceed the field lengths. The way I prefer to handle this is to set all the field lengths to longer than expected, eg. varchar(999) and then use a validation transform immediately after reading the file to check for any fields that exceed the maximum allowed for the target system and send these to an error file/table.

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?

Field length in internal table

hi,
how to selt field length in internal table?.
i have created on report the report out puts down load to using download function .
the out format is:
op1 op2   op3      op4
1     3       4
i want
op1   op2   op3       op4
1                3          4
how to set this please give sample code.

HI,
Give internal table like this.
DATA: BEGIN OF itab OCCURS 100,
            op1(04),
            op2(04),
op3(04),
op4(04),
      END OF itab.
So it will allocate space between 1, 3 and 4.
Reward if it useful.
Thanks.

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.
