Table name length

Former Member — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 15:51:19 GMT

Hi everyone

We have an issue with the length of table names, and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction on this.

We have registered a development damespace, which is 8 characters in length (10 characters if you include the leading and trailing '/'). Creating tables in this namespace then limits our table names to only 6 characters, e.g.

/ABCDEFGH/Table1

Is there any way to use longer table names with a partner namespace? Having only 6 characters is very limiting, and poses a big problem for us when migrating applications in the normal customer name range (Z* / Y*) to our new development namespace, as many tables already have names longer than 6 characters.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Stuart

The data element in SAP that holds the table name is a character 16 (TABNAME16) field hence there is no way of creating database tables that have more than 16 characters.

Hi,

it is not possible to create the table name length exceeding 16 characters.

-->the length is restricted to 16 characters
