Hi,

VALUE TABLE:If the domain of the check field has a value table, this is proposed by the system as check table in the foreign field maintenance. The key fields of the value table are in this case assigned fields of the foreign key table with the same domain. These

fields may assume only those values allowed by the value table.

The value range of the domain can be defined by specifying value table.All table fields

referring to this domain can then be checked against the corresponding field of this value

table.In order the check can be executed, a foreign key must be defined for the value

table.

Regards

A value table is a table which has either a fixed set of values or a set of values belonging to a table.

Value Table

This is maintained at Domain Level.

When ever you create a domain , you can entered allowed values. For example you go to Domain SHKZG - Debit/credit indicator. Here only allowed values is H or S.

When ever you use this Domain, the system will forces you to enter only these values.

This is a sort of master check . To be maintained as a customization object. This mean that if you want to enter values to this table you have to create a development request & transport the same.

There is 1 more important Difference in Value Table and Check Table is that:

1. The contents of the check will be used as an input help(F4 Help) for a particular field on which a check table is assigned.

But the contents of Value Table are never used in Input Help.

The Heirarchy which decides from where to used the Input Help is:

1. Input help defined explicitly in ABAP Program or Dialog Module.

2. Input Help Attached to the referenced Database Table field.

3. Using the contents of Check Table as an input help if neither (1) or (2) help are there.

4. Input help from Fixed value or Value range given in Domain.

Sometimes whe you define a domain, you already know that all fields that use the domain will need to be checked against a particular table. You can store this information in the domain definition by specifying a value table.

If you try to define a foreign key for a field that points to this domain, the value table of the domain is proposed as the check table for the foreing key.

value table:

The Value table is the table attached to a field at the domain level, where the entry to the field can be only from the value table. They are not used in the Input Help.

Re: what is value table?

In some cases you can see when you define a domain that all the table fields or structure components referring to this domain should be checked against a certain table. This information can be stored in the domain by entering a value table.

The system proposes the value table as check table when you try to define a foreign key for the field or component. This proposal can be overridden.

Domain S_CARR_ID (data type CHAR, length 3) in the flight model describes the three-place code of the airlines. All the airlines are listed together with their codes in table SCARR. It is generally advisable to check fields referring to domain S_CARR_ID against table SCARR. SCARR is therefore entered as value table for domain S_CARR_ID. If you want to define a foreign key for a field referring to S_CARR_ID, SCARR is proposed as the check table.

A check is not implemented by simply entering a value table! The check against the value table only takes effect when a foreign key has been defined

Use

Using values from Table TVARVC is especially useful in background processing. You do not have to create a new variant for each minor change of values or repeatedly change an existing variant, since you only have to change the values stored in TVARVC.

However, note that every change of a value in Table TVARVC affects all variants using this particular variable.

Hi,

Value Table

This is for Domain Level check.

All the entries related to that particular field will present in this value table only.

For example:Consider soaps category, in this table all varities of soaps will be entered, we can not access to the soaps otherthan these entries. This is for general info. only

Hi,

Value table: Value table will be at domain level checking

for ex: scarr table is check table for carrid.

Hi,

value table is one which contain valid set of values.

suppose you have one two table table a and table b.

these two tables are related on primary key and foreign key relation.here we have to insert data into table a based on existing values in table b.suppose there are 3 depart ments

we want to insert d1 d2 and d3 in table a.if we insert other than these departments it will shows error.means check will done here.now the table which we are inserting data is called value table in this case (table a) and the table which provides checking aginst wrong values is called check table (table b).

regards,

swami.

Value table : for definf the possibel set of vales for a particular domain, we use Value table.

A domain can be assigned a value by two ways:

Fixed Values:

For example Months of year which can not change so that they will be put in Fixed vales

Value table :

They are premirialy used for the domains whose values are not constant and changes with time. hence the value set for that domain will alo get changed with time.
