Hi!

Use SE11 transaction.

Simply add the new fields to your table.

For the existing entries these columns will remain empty.

Hi,

You have two options to enter data type while creating new field in table.

1. User standard data types i.e. mandt, kunnr etc..to use it u need to press "Predefined type" button present on top of table fields.

2. User custom data elements...this data elements you creates when you want to have data field specified to your required length.

Hope this will help.

Akansha,

you can add field by just insert row option but if you have table maint generator than you need to recreate again TMG.

just go to SE11 -> enter your z-table name -> click on CHANGE -> now click on '+' -> now add your field. -> Activate it.

If it is OK....then fine

otherwise give details.

To change that table, the table must have been designed with enhancement catagory.

Try this,

Go to Extras, enhancement category and try to change teh category.

then try to add fields as desired.
