Hi all,

Do someone know if its possible an easy  to increase the length that you have inside, for example the inspection plan,  to enter the formula for a calculated characteristic ?? (PLMKB-FORMEL2)

Standard you have 2 lines 60 characters.

Regards,

Hi Rivera

Through SE11 we can change  but it is not recommended as it will be used in other standard objects, Then it will cause  inconsistency.

Yeah, I know that is not going through the standard, but is a field used only in two tables and I do not know any other way.

Someone else face the same issue ???

I dont know how many MICs you are using in a formula, but can you split that formula in Two calculated MICs?

Lets say, formula is (A + B) / (C + D). If you can create two different MICs for A+B and C+D and divide; there might not be need of changing field length.

I know, its not the exact solution you are looking for but in some cases it can be useful.

Amol.

When a formula exceeds 120 characters you should create your own formula parameter such as Z1xxxx  and create a function module for it.

The FM can than basically do any calculation you want it to.

Hi,

Cannot be increased in standard. You have to go for development or user exit.

Ok. I try to find a note or something because I belived that that requirement is not so rare.

Or, may be changing the lenght directly via SE11.
