message_type_x

[kiran_k8]

Hi,

I was just going through the threads related to Message_type_x and found one as below

declare the field qty in the the itab as follows

data: begin of itab occurs 0,

qty type p decimals 2,

end of itab.

and then in the fieldcatalog make sure that the datatype is set correctly.

ls_fcat-datatype = 'QUAN'.

I didn't get what he mean to say by

ls_fcat-datatype = 'QUAN'..

Can anyone here please let me know about the same.

Thanks,

hi,

QUAN is a datatype used for quantity, in the statement they are checking whether the datatype of that field is quan.

if it is quan it executes the statements after it.

if ls_fcat-fieldname EQ 'QUAN'.

wa_fcat-scrtext_s = 'QUANTITY'.

wa_fcat-scrtext_m = 'QUANTITY'.

wa_fcat-scrtext_l = 'QUANTITY'.

wa_fcat-reptext = 'QUANTITY'.

wa_fcat-seltext = 'QUANTITY'.

wa_fcat-DECIMALS_O = '3'.

in the above statements we assign 3 decimal points i.e. if u give 20,000 u get 20

hope it is useful.

Sree,

Thanks alot.when the fieldcatalog is declared as below

DEFINE m_fieldcat.

itfieldcat-fieldname = &1.

itfieldcat-col_pos = &2.

itfieldcat-seltext_l = &3.

itfieldcat-do_sum = &4.

itfieldcat-outputlen = &5.

append itfieldcat to itfieldcat.

clear itfieldcat.

END-OF-DEFINITION.

m_fieldcat 'LFBNR' '' 'GR NO' '' 10.

m_fieldcat 'BELNR' '' 'MIRO NO' '' 10.

m_fieldcat 'QUANTITY' '' 'QTY' '' 13.

...

...

then how to check the datatype in the fieldcatalog.

Hi,

Similar to how DATS is a datatype for date fields, similarly QUAN is a data type for quantity (packed with decimal) fields.

All possible data types are stored under the possible values in domain DATATYPE with a short description to help you understand.

Go to se11 , in Domain enter DATATYPE and check Value Range.

QUAN Quantity field, points to a unit field with format UNIT

Cheers,
