Change length of column in table in SAP BTP ABAP environment

[hendrikp]

Hello,

I want to change the length of a column of a non key field from 50 to 25 in a table which already has entries. During activation an error is shown:

"Structure change at field level (convert table &)" message class DT Number 064.

In SAP GUI one would use SE14 to do this. How can it be achieved via ADT in Eclipse?

The table conversion is supported by a quick fix in ADT. Another option would be to remove all entries from the table which does not require this kind of table conversion at all (but removing the complete content is of course not always possible / convenient in dev systems).

BTW: Import of that table change into subsequent systems is doing this table conversion automatically. The quick fix needs to be applied in the dev system only.

Thanks frankjentsch, I had the same problem as Hendrik and the solution worked as you described. I really like QuickFix 🙂

Thanks Frankjentsch. Quickfix helped me. All i did is rightclick on the table name and selected quickfix. then it showed me "adjust and activate database table,convert data"

Thanks Frank, quickfix worked very well ... same thing like SE14

FrankJentsch : I changed table column length from 5 to 6. After I did a QuickFix by Adjust the Database and convert Data . Then also ATC error occurs Length of Component field was changed.
