Total field length in a custom Table

Hello Everyone,

I have to create a transaparent table in which the total length of the fields (sum of all field lengths) is exceeding 1962 (because i have 20 fields with tdline datatypes (132 char) to store the comments). I am using ECC 6.0 version.

Referring to the help document in SAP.

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/cf/21eb6e446011d189700000e8322d00/content.htm

in the line "A table may not have more than 249 fields. The sum of all field lengths is limited to 1962 (whereby fields with data type LRAW and LCHR are not counted). "

When I activate the table, it did not give any errors.

Not sure if it is fine to have that much total field length in a table.

Any advice?

Thanks!

Rushi

You might have issues while displaying its contents in SAP.. Instead of that many TDLINE type fileds, why didn't you go in for an LCHAR type field?
