Choose domain. There is probably one that you require. If not you can also create domains.

Yes you can always create a Z Data elements

You can either chose the Domain or Predefined types.

But make sure you activate all the Data Elements created in order to activate the table

Creating your own data elements is usually better, as you can then use these same data elements in programs and function module interface where this table is used.

If you want to limit the values in your field you should use a domain, othewise predefined type is fine.

Hi,

You can create dataelement or use the built in type.

when creating data element,if you have to define a value range you should create a domain for for the data element otherwise you can use the built in type.

You can double click on the dataelement for creating it.same for domain also.

hi,

If there is no predefined datatype for ur requirement then u can create ur own datatype.

If u have to create a datatype u need to assign it to a domain.If u r not having a predefined domain for ur requirement then u need to create the domain also.

Hi Shashi,

You can create a domain with your required Technical Definition and use the domain or you can use the Predefined type too.

It is easy to use Predefined option, but creating a Domain might give you a chance to reuse in future too. You may use the same domain in creating other Data Elements having the same technical definition. So this gives you reusability.

Now the choice is yours, but the ideal thing to do is to create a Domain if there aren't any domains which satisfy your technical requirements and to use them in defining the Data Elements.
