Logical storage parameters of DBTABLES

[venkatasap]

Hi Sap All.

just a quick question ,what the field "Size category" under Logical storage parameters of the table in SE11 represents.

when i have a look at the field "Size category" in the Table MARA it has the value of 4 (Data records expected: 15,000 to 63,000) but when i have alook at the number of entries in the table MARA it has the total of 213,576 .

so my question is why it says the size category as "15,000 to 63,000) " as the toral records are 213,576 ,the figures are not mathcing.

any idea on the above question for who ever look at this Q.

Hi varma

i have idea on size category in data dictionary . i would like to share my knowledge to you as well as it will help you.

example size category= 0 means it will allow to store 10000 records(for example no exact) when ever we have more than 10000 records , size category automatically allocate memory in abap for one more 10000 records it will continue upto storing all records.

Thanks&Regards
