Data element and domain

Former Member — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 15:42:49 GMT

Hi All,

I am creating a table with a one data element with the elementary data type as built in type.

And trying to create a number range for it.But i am getting error as domain in data dictionary is not defined.

Can you please tell me what can be the problem.

Regards

Ritika

Written in SAP help....

"Create sub-object

If you want to differentiate a number range object, enter the data element according to whose value you want to differentiate:

Data element sub-object (object types 4-8)

This data element must exist and be active in the Dictionary and have a check table (value table). The domains must have a field length between 1 and 6.

Hi Abhishek,

Thanks for your response.My question is

1.is it mandatory to assign a value table for the domain.

( i am trying to create a dummy application)

If yes then on what basis i should assign a value table.

That is required only in case you are using the Concept of SUB OBJECTS.

Create a data domain for the data element and provide that domain in the field

'Number length domain'.

In this case there is no need of providing any value table to the domain

I don't think it's mandatory to use.

You can create Domain with out Value range

Then is it mandatory to create a domain for the data element.

Even though i have not created one for the data element ,I am getting an error message ' domain is not active in the data dic for the data element'

If you are using Sub objects, then its mandatory to have a domain and also a value table associated with the domain,

If you just want to create a number range for your field,

a) either create a domain for your data element and use that domain in the field

"Number length Domain"

b) use an existing domain having the same type and length in the field "Number length Domain"

You can't use a Data Element in the field "Number length domain".

I need little clarification about the value table.

As per my understanding value table should contain the values which I am expecting to be entered in my table.

If yes. Then my value table will be my number range object.

Is that correct...

Or my value table and my number range object are same.
