Hi,

We can put up to 9999 segements.

Data Segment: It consists of a header that contains the identity of the Idoc. Its constituents include, a sequential segment number, a segment type description and field containing the actual data of the segment.

Each segment comprises one release-independent segment type and release-dependent segment names.

The segment type as internal identifier is the development object in the ABAP workbench and repository. All its fields are of type character.

Any subsystem, e.g. EDI subsystem, will recognize the version of the segment by its segment names.

Segment types have up-to 27 character identifiers. The segment names are derived from these identifiers by appending 3 digits, starting with 000 in the first version.

SAP segments depart from that rule by using additonally also first 2 digits to distinguish segment types from segment names. Naming conventions:

SAP segment types (internal or ABAP representation) start with “E1”.

SAP segment names (external representation) start with “E2”.

Customer segments can start with “Z1” and “Z2” respectively, or use the prefix technique (concept of development prefixes).

Development partners have to use the prefix technique (concept of development prefixes).

The IDoc development tools observe the naming conventions.

Hi,

Segment is the logical name of table or index. This error may be due to repitition of the same name.

Thanks,

Hi,

1. It is the min and max number of records expected

in that segment.

2.You can put upto 99,999.

3.That error is due repetion of segment in the idoc.

if you specify min and max value...then you can reuse the same segments in others idoc types.

you have limit between min 1 and max 99999.

I hope for your error ..you may checked it as min 1 and max also 1...otherwise the maximum limit was over..just check once.
