How to give mandatory to a field in data dictionary

Re: data dictionary

Hi Asia,

Whenever you design a table in ABAP dictionary, you need to specify MANDT field in the DB tables, this MANDT means that the table stores Client specific data, here MANDT specifies the Client ,i.e. the present client which we have logged on into.

Other than this one, if we want tomake any other field mandatory, while designing the table just tick in the two checkboxes coloumns beside the field and this makes the field primary and also mandatory.

Hope this resolves your query.

Reward all the helpful answers.

Regards

Asia ,

While creating the table you have select the check box Under the "KEY " then that filed will become mandatory for that table.

If you want on Screen you have the set the attribute of that field as "required" .

For this you need authorization to change the screen.

Pls. rewars if useful.

it's not that mandatory, like as we do in reports giving a field mandatory/obligatory means that field needs to be entered.Like that we hwve to do in data dictionary.

What i got a clue is at the domain level

Hi Asia,

When you are creating a Table then just specify the field with a key, it will become the mandatory field.

Thanks and regards

Hi Asia,

As said earlier my meaning was to tick the KEY checkbox to make it mandatory, you did not understand it. Just do it in the Table creation level and you can understand it yourself.

Hope this resolves your query.

Reward all the helpful answers.

Hi,

You can use 'obligatory' to do the require field in field level. see the following example,

data: l_vkorg like vbak-vkorg as obligatory.

This may helpful for you !

If it helps you dont forget to reward.
