E-Recruitment PD Infotype Enhancement - Length Issue

[Former Member]

Hi,

I need to enhance PD Infotype 5103 with three fields to hold descriptions (Length should be CHAR 500).

If I use domain ‘String’ or CHAR 500, I’m getting hard error.

It is working fine when domain length is CHAR 255 (Maximum length).

Can you please guide me to achieve my requirement?

Let me know, if you need any otherinfo.

Regards,

...Naddy

add 2 fields of char 255 and split them while saving, concatenate them while loading

Hi Naddy,

if you check the e-recruiting infotypes you will find out that all long texts / descriptions are not directly stored in the infotype. There is always only a pointer to the KW text in the infotype.

If you need another long text for the candidate information you should keep that data handling strategy. You will have to add a field with the type of the DESCRIPTION field already found in the infotype and an entry in table T77RCF_DOCID.

The handling for saving and reading the text can be derived from the handling of the description field in the methods MAINTAIN_CAND_WORK_EXPERIENCE and GET_CAND_WORK_EXPERIENCE of class CL_HRRCF_CANDIDATE_INFOTYPE_BL.

Best Regards
