when you create a field in a table without data element, you will not get search help and you will not have check table you may not get text for that particular field.

hi Rambabu,

Yes, you can create fields without DE or Domain, by assigning standard data type

what is the advantages and disadvantages in this?

domains can be used to store fixed value ranges, map value tables etc using

Data elements are used to give descriptions based on the context of usage

domains and data elements add to the re-usability of DDIC objects

is there any problem when we go for append structure?

I dont see any problems here..

hope this helps,

when you create a field in a table without data element, you will not get the Field's Description .

If you didn't create the Domain, you won't get the Search help .

As serach help defined at domain level.
