Hi ,

It is a transparent table

with display nd maintenence allowed

how to readjust the same by converting the field type from char to int1.

Hi,

This is the reason why you got the dump:

When the data type was changed from CHAR to INT1, INT1 corresponds to the byte value, that would have memory conflicts on storage with respect to the number of bytes character holdw. If you had used INT4 there would not have been this error.

Here is the detail on the error. When the table is adjusted in SE14, if there are any activation errors, then the physical database is deleted but the logical defination still exists. This is the reason why you can see the table in se11(this is the logical definition) but cannot activate the table or see entries.

Naveen.
