11 character in value range in domain

[Former Member]

i have created a ztable followed by a data element say (zctype) of type char20. after double clicking on data element i created domain. when i specify value ranges (not intervals) only specific values in domain--i am not able to enter value more than 10 characters.

i want to display these values in drop Down list in module pool.

Why is this so that i cannot enter more than 10 characters in value range in domain.??

Yes, the domain value keys (DD07D-DOMVALUE) can't be more than 10 characters but the short text can be upto 60 characters (DD07D-DDTEXT).

When you see the drop down list on your module pool screen you will see the short text. The keys (that have max 10 char limitation) won't be visible unless enabled in Gui Options -> Interaction Design -> Visualization & interaction -> Show keys within drop down lists.

Business users will only be concerned with the short text assigned.

If you want to have values greater then 10 char then you can go for a separate check table.

DEAR,

WHEN YOU DOUBLE CLICK ON DATA ELEMENT IT WILL ASK FOR TO CREATE DATA ELEMENT PRESS YES GIVE SHORT DESC THEN GIVE DOMAIN NAME .NOW IT WILL ASK FOR TO CREATE DOMAIN PRESS YES. GIVE SHORT DESC .

NOW IN DATA TYPE SELECT CHAR

SELECT NO OF CHAR = 20 ACCORDING TO YOUR USE

AND THEN SELECT OUTPUT LENGTH = 20.

SAVE , CHECK AND ACTIVATE DOMAIN

COME BACK SAVE , CHECK AND ACTIVATE DATA ELEMENT

COME BACK U WILL SEE FIELDS LENGTH
