Tables

Hi frnds,

I have created a DDIC table. It has a field of type LCHR of length 800. there is also a preceding INT2 field for this field. But i'm not able to maintain this field directly from a table control or the DDIC directly. How do i do it ? .i.e how do i enter the values for this field..

• points assure to all replies*********

If you mean that the long char field must start with 2 integer then why dont you declare it in entire as character.

Or you can append a structure with 2 fields but it would still be two separate fields.

Hi Madan,

It is nothing but the reference field.

The field with the data type INT2 will contain the length of value coming in field of data type LCHR.

Values cannot be directly maintained using the table control. In the table control maintain a field of length 800 or less than that. After the user entres the value count the number of characters in that field and update that to the table with data type INT2 and the fields value to LCHR.

HI,

If i understand your question Correctly, You are unable to insert values in table directly from DDIC.

Go to <b>'Delivery and Maintenance'</b> tab of that table, Next to Attributes.

and Set <b>Data Browser/Table View M</b> = <b>Display/Maintenance Allowed.</b>
