Creating Table Maintenance for a table with String Datatype

Former Member — Fri, 27 Apr 2007 15:17:39 GMT

Hi,

Can we create a table maintenance dialog box for a table with String datatype (length 0)? I am getting an error that length (0) is invalid.

Thanks and regards,

Pratik

u need to specify the length here....it is not like abap where if u dont specify length the max char space will be 1.

Thanks.

If we give length, will it not restrict the field data length? Say I have a string Data Element of size 255; if I use this then can my data be longer than 255 characters?

Thanks and regards,

You cannot create a table maintenance for string, precisely because you cannot define(limit) the length of screen field dynamically. You should specify the length of the field.
