Error when define Transparent table

[Former Member]

Dear,

When I create a transparent table in ABAP Dictionary, after fill Short Description, Delivery and Maintenance tab, I switch to Fields tab.

When I fill the first field (e.g: name TEST), choose Data Element (e.g: S_CARR_ID) --> ABAP Dictionary recognize that: Data Type is CHAR, Length is 0, and Decimal Places is 0.

But, actually, S_CARR_ID has Data Type is CHAR, Length is 3.

So, ABAP dictionary notifies that Number of positions < minimum number (1) for data type CHAR. Then, I can't do anything except exit.

How to fix the problem

What exact error are you getting while activating this?

Hi Hannibal2011,

I do exactly what you've done. I.e I filled TEST field with data element S_CARR_ID, nothing happy SAP shows Data type char with 3 character.

I'm afraid that you define a Domain with fix value and forgot to fill 'No. Characters' in definition tab.

please check and reply if any issue.

Hi Thien,

I face the error:

- If I fill S_CARR_ID manually, everything seems OK, ABAP Dictionary recognize that the length is 3.

- If I use Search Help (Press F4, and search S_CARR_ID), the error like I have described occurs.
