Hi

Looks like you have enhanced a standard infotype PA0002. But you need to re-generate your module pool program and screens. Go to PM01 and re-generate the Enhancement.

Hi 17ranjna,

the subject DOMAIN is an offense.

If you want to change a domain from NUMC to integer, this will need a manual table conversion. Before you do it, make sure the existing content of the table is numeric for all records. Technically, NUMC is a character field and the database will store letters without complaining.

After you do the manual table conversion in development system, it will be done automatically when imported to quality system. Same rule here: If any non-numeric values are stored in the NUMC field, it will dump when converting the table.

If you need the change because you need to store bigger values (more digits), just give the domain a bigger field width. This will always work.
