problem in creating Table Cluster

[Former Member]

while creating table cluster, add one field matnr as key element after save and check it gives error 'The key is longer than the maximum allowed length 000120' and '  You cannot change function fields (PAGENO: Type INT2 with length of 5, key field)'

please check screenshot

Hi Gyanedra,

here your all key fields length is greater than 120.

Restrict the matnr length to 5 characters then it will work.

To complete the topic, the limit of 120 and other restrictions are described (for example) in SAP note 355898 Restrictions on transparent tables

So you think a MATNR of length 5 will "work"? Even if you manage to activate the cluster this way, it will be useless from a functional point of view.

For creating cluster tables first u have to create table pool ...

1. create a table and specify the fields and other technical settings and then

Goto ------ > EXTRAS --> Change Table Category ------- > and  select the Pooled table and activate it...

2.Then Create another table And specify the required fields and also the settings and then

Goto  ------ >  EXTRAS ------ > Change Table Category ------ >  and select the Cluster table and in  ------ > Delivery and Maintenance ------ > Properties mention the Pooled table that u created and activate it...

Creating a pool table first in order to create a cluster table? Where does this come from? Not from the link you have provided.
Did you try this yourself?

This first message has been discussed and is actually quite self-explaining, isn`t it?

The second one is likely caused by PAGENO not being the bottom-most primary key field.

...and one more thing: just tried to create a cluster myself (rarely ever had the need to do that), VARKEY 110 seems to be a default, it looks like you can change this to your needs. Just leave everything from PAGENO down unchanged.
