Hi tangirlala,

1. Yes we can create.

2. In se11, while creating data element,

we can choose the radio buton

PREDEFINED TYPE.

3. There we can simply enter the data type. (instead of domain)

we can use same elemant and domain in differant fields

[Former Member]

Yes you can create

you can give a reference to Pre defined type , check in Se11 , you can find one radio button <b>reference to Pre defined type</b>

[Former Member]

in se11 while creating table enter the dataelement name.

double click it.. It ask to create new one click yes.

in tht screen instead of giving domain name click predefined data type radio button.

Now specify the data type & length

[Former Member]

Enter a 'predefined type' while creating a Data Element.

[Former Member]

and by referring existing data element

Hi,

Yes, u can create a data element with out a domain.

While creating data element u will have option to enter name of domain or predefined type or reference type.

This means u should give data type.

Example: Data type:CHAR

Length :10

Hi..,

<b>Yes we can create data element without domain!!

but u need to select the Predefined type radiobutton in the LINE TYPE of the data element !! then onli u can give ur own type </b>

Here are the differences between data element and domain !!

1) according to the definition...

domain gives the techincal attributes of the data object.

( techincal attributes - data type , length , decimal places, uppercase or lowercase etc...)

data element gives the descriptional attributes of the data object.

( descriptional attributes - The business functionality of the object )

2)

One data element can have onli one domain...

One domain can be attached to no .of data elements..

The best example is..

suppose say in your Organization .. employee id's will be there..

for this suppose say u have created a domain of TYPE CHARACTER and LENGTH 5. ( the value ranges are Z0000 to Z9999 )

and u have attached this to a data element .. at this data element level u will give the business functionality of the object.. say the description is Employee ID.

and you will have Departments in your organization ..

for this suppose say u are using the same domain that u have used for User ID's... but using different series of numbers.. ( A0000 to A9999 )

now u will assign this domain to another data element .. for this data element the desctiption is Department ID.

so u have used the same domain for different data elements, which different business functionalities....

**********************************************

The main advantage of these data elements and domains is the Maintainability ( using the same multiple times )

Hope u have understood...
