Doubt in data element creation

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have doubt in data element creation ie, there is 2 options elementary type

(domain and built-in-type) and reference type (name of the reference type &

ref to predefined type). if there is built in type here then what is the use of

built-in-type in initial screen of the table and also explain me about the use of

reference type.

with regards,

Hi!

With the use of the built-in type, you have to set always in every different data element the exact type.

With the use of the domains (pre-defined types) you just have to enter the domain name into the data element. If you have to modify the type, you can maintain it in the domain (only once) but the built in types have to modifyed in every data element (which means more work).

Domains have a little more options also, than the built in types.

Hi,

Builtin type implies it should refer to the pre-define data types provided by SAP.

Referencec type implies it refres to another dataelement alrady existing.

Hi,

elementary type:these are defined by using domains(user definede or system defined).

reference type:these are created by using the already existing types of data elements,structures,domains,......

hi

data element is used for semantic characteristic.

there is no diff. as such in both the build-in-type . The only diff is reusability. if we define build-in-type at table lavel is is applicable for only that table but if we define that at data element the it is useful for all the fields which are using that data element

If this is useful the pl give correct reward points
