Hello,



Size category

    The size category determines the probable space requirement for a table
    in the database.

    You can select the categories 0 to 4 for your table. Each category is
    assigned a specific fixed storage area value in the database. When you
    create a table, initial space is saved for it in the database. If more
    space is required later as a result of data that has been entered, the
    storage space is increased in accordance with the category selected.

    Press F4 on the field Size category to see the number of data records
    that can be maintained for the individual categories of your table
    without complications ensuing. These complications could be for example
    a reorganization becoming necessary because the maximum space to be
    reserved for the table was exceeded due to the maintained size category.

If useful reward.

Hi,

If you are talking about Size category in tables then ..

The Size category describes the probable space requirement of the table in the database

There are five size categories (0-4) and 11 data classes, only three of which are appropriate for application tables:

APPL0 - Master data (data frequently accessed but rarely updated)

APPL1 - Transaction data (data that is changed frequently)

APPL2 - Organizational data (customizing data that is entered when system is Configured and then rarely changed)
