Setting in HR infotypes for case sensitive text

[Former Member]

Hello - I have a custom infotype with a couple of free-text fields included within it. Right now all text that is entered into these fields is automatically converted to upper case. I would like to disable this feature and allow the data to be saved in the case it is entered with (either upper case, lower case or both). Can anyone tell me where this setting is so that I can change it?

Thanks!

HI Kristy,

1. Goto the data dictionary domain definition of the text fields which you have in custom IInfotype

2. In output charactersitic section (definition tab) select the Lower case checkbox.

Hope this helps!!

Hi Krishna - I'm not sure I am seeing things correctly in SE11. When I go into my PA9013 table I see the includes that were created during the infotype creation. I select the PS9013 include and then double click on one of the free text fields that I am interested in within the Data Element column. When I do this I can see that the field is using a Predefined Type of CHAR and not a domain. I don't see a domain tab so I have tried to assign it to a domain but I still do not see an option for lowercase text. I am assuming that I am in the wrong area all together. Can you please assist?

Thanks!!!

Hi Kristy,

Double click on the domain name which you have created.It will take you to the domain definition screen where you can see the option for Lower case definition

If you are checking that in debugger, then dont worry it displays as all upper but the actual data is same case as entered.

Be aware that if the domain is used by other tables, the changes you made in your infortype will be effective in those other tables as well.
