adding custom fields through SE51

[Former Member]

Hi All!

This is with regards to adding custom fields through Se51 to standard screens.I had added custom field KNVV-ZZKVGR6 to the screen.

After drawing the text and I/O buttons.When I activate I am getting an syntax error saying Field KNVV-ZZKVGR6 is defined differently in screen (ABAP/4 field,Dictionary field).

What does this mean.

Also if i activate with a SAP standard field instead of the custom it is getting activated.

But for both the ways I could not able to see the output on the actual transaction.Also the new drawings which i am drawing are in brown color(different form the existing one)

Please advise.

regards

Delete the added field on the screen painter and add once again and check whether it is again asking or not.

hi Praneeth,

what is the program name,screen number you are trying to modify..,and after appending the field <b>ZZKVGR6 to KNVV</b> , now go to table and choose menu <b>Utilities->Data base Utility-></b> now click on <b>Activate and Adjust the Data base</b>, then try to add the field.

and are you adding the field from Dictionary (i.e you have option Get From Dictionary in that give KNVV table name it will list the fields, choose zzkvgr6 from it, and place it in your screen.)

the exit which you are adding should be appropriate one

or else you won't get the desired results. what is the exit..

Hi,

After adjusting the database using (SE14) , then check the table consistency with the system program RSDDCHECK.

if inconsistency exist in any one of the dependent structure , then activate that structure and again adjust the table.
