Hi,

Get key from SAP and create a 'Z' domain of type Char length 6and assign it to the required field.

Hi,

We cannot modify the standard field. So, we should get the basis consultant permission to modify the filed or the standard things. Get the Access Key from basis consultant and try to change the data element name in the table level.

hello abapers...

Without access key i have to change the length..

Is this possible by user exits

Hi Priyank,

To increase the length there may not be any user exits i believe.

The work around will be to create a new field in the main table as an append structure and see if it can be displayed in the transaction MM02 and to fill the new field .The old field needs to be hidden(for this check if there are any configurations).This solution is workable provided we have userexits for displaying our new field in MM02 at desired location and hiding the old one

Hope it helps

Regards
