HI

A table is composed of fields. To create a field you need a data element.A data element's definition requires a <u><b>domain</b></u>.

The domain contains the technical characteristics of a field, such as the field length and data type.

When you create a new field, you must decide whether to create a new domain or reuse an existing one. To make this decision, determine whether the data type or length of your field should be dependent on an existing SAP field. If your field should be independent, create a new domain. If your field should be dependent, reuse an existing SAP domain. Similarly, you should reuse data elements if your field labels and documentation should change when SAP changes theirs.

please go through the link for further documentation

hi Liat,

The domain contains the technical characteristics of a field, such as the field length and data type.

use..

A data element's definition requires a domain ..

To create a field you need a data element..

To create a field, you usually start by creating a domain for it... In this case, you might create a generic telephone number domain, name it zphone and give it a data type of CHAR and a length of 12.

hi,

A domain defines a value range. A domain is assigned to a data element. All table fields or structure components that use this data element then have the value range defined by the domain. The relationship between the field or component and the domain is thus defined by the data element of the field or component.

i think this will help u out.

thanks,

A domain describes the technical attributes of a field, such as the data type or the number of positions in a field. The domain defines primarily a value range describing the valid data values for the fields referring to this domain.

Different technical fields of the same type can be combined in a domain. Fields referring to the same domain are changed at the same time when a domain is changed. This ensures the consistency of these fields.

Hope it helps,
