Hi guys,
I am having problem with TDS Certificate printout. Its form is J_1IEWT_CERT. In this form, in the first page,
name and address of the person to whom payment has been made. Here the name is defined using it_lfa1-name1. Where it_lfa1 is the structure of lfa1. And in lfa1, the name1 field is of 35 char length. But I want to make it to 60 char length.
How should I do this? Shall I make the changes in the standard program or copy this program in to a z program and do the changes?
please suggest me.
bye

always suggestive is to copy and then do the changes.
Changing standard program should always be the last option.

hi,
its not advisable to change the length of the standard field
because it is reflected in so many transactions which may spoil your system.

Hi Amit and Gautham,
Thanks for your response. But the requirement is to increase the length of the field lfa1-name1.Can I copy and make the changes? Give me some solution for this? or it is not feasible to change the field length of the standard field?

Hi Kiran,
You can create a Z form first and then mke the changes..
Even when you increase the value of name1 the input coming will be 35 char only as in LFA1 table it is 35 char only. Better you can concatenate Name1 and Name2 in the corresponding program and then use the same in the FORM.
