Database field creation problem.

[Former Member]

I have created a table field (built type ) with char 132 in 4.6 C.

But after deleting and regenerating Table maintenance generator, and when I check the fields in SM30, all the data in that new field is appearing as zigzag number , instead of showing data as spaces .

How to solve this problem.Please help me.

Hello Sam,

Hai Sam

You can do it in two ways using append structure or include structure of that standard table.

once you added , you need to adjust it and activate using the menu utilities->data base utulity-> Activate and Adjust .

check this SAP help..

for append structure

for include structure.

1. specially function group.. what is its significance

When we generate table maintenance,

the system , based upon the table fields,

automatically,

generates

PROGRAM CODE, SCREEN FOR ENTERING DATA,

LOGIC FOR SAVING DATA, LOGIC FOR DISPLAYING DATA

ETC.

2. All this are BUNCHED under

a FUNCTION GROUP

(if you open that function group in se80, after

creatting table maintenacne,

u will see the program code, screens, gui status etc)

3. Hence, to BUNCH all these various objects,

SAP uses the concept of function group.

4. And also why do we need to give two screens there

Its not necessary to have to screens.

5. ONE SCREEN MEANS:

only one screen with table control to enter data

TWO SCREEN means :

first screen : only primary key fields will appear

second screen : rest of the fields will appear to enter data

6. When the table consists of many fields,

its practically more convenient to have two screens,

so that all fields come vertically downwards.

(instead of scrolling horizontally in the table

control, in case of one screen concept)

The use of the FG is only this the Table Maintainance Generator part. Neednt be declared anywhere else.

yes u need to create a FG and the use it in Table maint. gen.

spaces or junk characters !
