Table maintenance generator dump for RAWSTRING datatype

Former Member — Mon, 18 May 2015 03:34:32 GMT

Hi,

Recently, I have requirement of creating maintenance view (SM30) for Z sap table.

As it is having one field of RAWSTRING type, it is not allowing to create table maintenance generator for that table an giving short dump.

Also I cannot change type of that field.

So Please suggest any alternative solution for the same.

Thanks,

Hi,

Please provide more information as in what short dump states, may be the reason is not the rawstring datatype. I have created a table using data element /BOBF/ACT_KEY. Data type RAW length 16.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Table maintenance generator wont support fields of type string, raw, rawstring, internal table, object reference .

Just try creating a domain with char500 or 1250 (Required length) for that field and regenerate the Maintenance Generator.

Hi Richa,

You can create a report with ALV and use the same for editing of field with type rawstring.

You need to do the same as types like rawstring, string are reference types and are implemented as reference to a storage area of variable size. Because of the same reason, you can't have those fields in TMG.

Refer below link for more information of string and rawstring.
