I want to create new table with most of the fields from the existing table. If i have the <b>primary key</b> of this <b>new table</b> <u>as the one of the fields of the existing table</u>, thus linking the two, then, will the change in any fields( of their <u>data elements/domains</u>) of existing table reflect into the new table?

If you are creating a DICTIONARY object (table), you are using the same data elements that of standard fields, yes whatever the changes done in that Element/Domain that will automatically reflect to your field.

If you are creating an INTERNAL TABLE in your program, and if you have used LIKE while declaring the fields, the changes will automatically come, but if you have used TYPE, the DOMAIN changes will come automatically but not Elements (but I am not sure abuot it.. I need to check on this)

Hello vishwanath,

As the key field of the new table is also using the same data element and domain, whatever changes done there are reflected into the new table.

While creating domain why isn't it possible to give output length of the data type greater/less than the calculated length?
