Try creating it as a structure instead? Or modify the code so the error goes away?

To my knowledge, (and I'm happy to be corrected) all tables have to have technical settings. Why would you want one without?

[Former Member]

because i have seen such types of tables which having records in data dictionary.....and i'm curious to know how we create without technical setting..

[matt]

Are they standard tables - which ones? Could be cluster tables, like RFBLG I suppose.

they are not standard table...they are user defined one...like 'ZXXXXXXX'.....

Priya,

I think you cannot create table without tec setting.

just refer:

hi priya,

in my opinion table cannot be activated w/o technical settings...transparent tables..

u can check for cluster and hashed tables.

check this link also....

hi,

it is not possible to create a table with out technical settings. but u can create a structure without tech settings.

i hope it is clear for u.

please reward points if it is helpful for u.

Hi Priya,

I'm very much sure that data cant be entered into a transparent table without activating it but if u've seen that unactivated tables are thr with data present then it means that data has been entered into them externally i.e directly thru dbms overriding the sap system

Hi Kartik,

I'm not getting what you want to say??? please explain.....

Thanks..

Hi Priya,

What i'm trying to say is that the tables which we create through SAP are stored in DBMS say for example Oracle, now data can be entered into those tables by directly giving SQL commands from oracle without using the sap system (though this is highly not recommended) but i feel this the only way by which data was present inside some of the tables without any technical settings.

hi priya,

The technical settings of a table define how the table will be handled when it is created in the database, that is whether the table will be buffered and whether changes to data records of the table will be logged.

The most important parameters are:

Data class: The data class defines the physical area of the database (tablespace) in which the table should be created.

Size category: The size category defines the size of the extents created for the table.

When the table is created in the database, the required information about the memory area to be selected and the extent size is determined from the technical settings.

Buffering permission: The buffering permission defines whether the table may be buffered.

Buffering type: If the table may be buffered, you must define a buffering type (full, single-record, generic). The buffering type defines how many table records are loaded into the buffer when a table entry is accessed.

Logging: This parameter defines whether changes to the table entries should be logged. If logging is switched on, each change to a table record is recorded in a log table.

The Convert to transparent table flag ( transparent flag) is also displayed for pooled tables or for tables which were converted into transparent tables earlier on with this flag.

Now,the point is that table can't be maintained in the database without these above mentioned things.That's why answer to yr question is simple that we can't activate an table without techinacl settings.

Hi Priya,

According to me a table cannot be activated without technical settings.

[Former Member]

Hi Priya,

You need to create technical settings (Data Class, Buffering and Size category)..you can't skip this step.

Hi,

I too faced the same situation and find out the solution for the same.

There are 2 ways w can create the table with out techinical Settings.

1. create all the table elements except techincal settings, now goto se14 and activate and adjust table. now you can see the table get activated.

2. As we are getting the information message, you can go by debugging and change error dialog value.

This will solves the probelm.

Thanks,

Raghu.
