String in SM30?

bjorn-henrik_zink — Mon, 30 Oct 2006 08:13:22 GMT

Hi,

when I try to generate table maintainance (<b>sm30</b>) I get the following error:

<b>Data type STRING is not supported </b>

I need to add long texts in some database table fields. How can I achieve that and at the same time use the table maintainance generator?

Thanks.

Hi Anversha,

I do not have XSTRING in the system (ERP2005/ECC 6.0).

Hi,

It's not possible to generate Table Maintanance generator if you have fileds of STRING. May be you can try LCHR in your table instead of STRING.

LCHR will let you generate the maintance generator.

You need to add one more field to the table for storing the length of the string that is stored in LCHR.

u have to declare data type as CHAR and in domain give the length like 1000/200/3000...as u wish(as per ur requirement)...

string will not support..ok use char

As far as I know, the Dynpro is not able to display fields longer than 255.
