Customising TABLE Creation

Former Member — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 17:49:55 GMT

I have already created a Z table and generated a maintenance screen

FILE_BANK_KEY BANKK CHAR 15 0 Bank Keys

FI12_BANK_KEY BANKK CHAR 15 0 Bank Keys

FILE_BANK_ACC BANKN CHAR 18 0 Bank account number

FI12_BANK_ACC BANKN CHAR 18 0 Bank account number

These are my fields in table, , now I have a small problem, I want to have different description for FILE_BANK_KEY & FI12_BANK_KEY..

As of now both of them have same data element BANKK, so they show up the same description in table maintenance

Can I do this without creating a new data element.

Points for all helpful answers

Hi,

Why don't you create a new dataelement for that?

Thanks,

Do you want to use a built-in type rather than a data element?

Hi,

I think you are looking for description change only in table maintenacne screen? in that case change screen behind your table maintenace. From table maintenance generator screen double click on the overview screen system will take you to layout, Here you can

change the description.

Note: But in future somebody altered or regenerated the table maintenance then your changes will get lost.

Hi Grame,

You can not change the description without changing the data element. Because a field in a table or a structure gets the semantic attributes from the data element.

Copy the data element BANKK as ZBANKK and give description whatever you want.

Thanks and Best Regards,
