Table name length

[Former Member]

Hi everyone

We have an issue with the length of table names, and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction on this.

We have registered a development damespace, which is 8 characters in length (10 characters if you include the leading and trailing '/'). Creating tables in this namespace then limits our table names to only 6 characters, e.g.

/ABCDEFGH/Table1

Is there any way to use longer table names with a partner namespace? Having only 6 characters is very limiting, and poses a big problem for us when migrating applications in the normal customer name range (Z* / Y*) to our new development namespace, as many tables already have names longer than 6 characters.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

The data element in SAP that holds the table name is a character 16 (TABNAME16) field hence there is no way of creating database tables that have more than 16 characters.
