16/20

Fill in all the domain parameters. such as: short description, data type, no. of characters, output length,conversion routine.

Save the domain & data element.

steps to create database tables

1.go to se11

2.give name the database table

3.give short description for the table

4.Give delivery class name as A and data browser / table view maint as Display/maintenence allowed

5.select fields tab

6.give field name data type(user defined element type/built-in-type),short text

7.select technical settings tab ,give data class as appl0 and size category as 0

7.save it

8.go utillities menu click table contents select create and enter the field values then select display in

table contents and u can view the table values with field lables


17/20

step 1:

creating a domain:

*se11,select the object type as domain ,name it ,create,description,enter the datatype and

length(size),save ,activate

step2:

creating a dataelement;

se11,select the object type as :date element,name it ,create,desc,assign it with a domain what we

created now,save,activate it.

step3:

creating a table;

se11,select the object type as table,name it, create,

enter the field name and assign it with the data element instead of assigning a datatype to it,like this create req fields:

on behalf of this:

table maintainence:

assign the type of the table ie.,A C G L S

NEXT

maintaince:

allowed,not allowed ,allowed with restricions

BUFFERED OR NON-BUFFERED

In this tutorial you will get the idea about the difference between data elements and domains and the

steps for creating them.


18/20

Data elements and domains are SAP data dictionary objects that can be created using the

transaction code SE11. Both of these describe the characteristics of a data field.

What is data element?

Data element describes the semantic characteristics of a field like description and online help. Auser can view this by pressing F1 help button on a field.

What is a domain?

Domain objects stores the technical characteristics of a field like its data type, decimal places, data

length and value range.

Step by step procedure to create a domain

Step 1: Enter transaction code SE11 (or go to the path Tools->ABAP/4 Workbench, Development-

>ABAP/4 Dictionary)

Step 2: In Object name field enter the name of data element.

Step 3: Choose the domain radio button and press the create button. (Next window will appear)

Step 4: Enter a description (short text) for that domain

Step 5: Enter data type field and length field..

Step 6: Press Activate button

Step 7: Enter the local object button.

Step 8: For going back to the dictionary initial screen press back button.

Step by step procedure to create a data element

Step 1: Enter transaction code SE11 (or go to the path Tools->ABAP/4 Workbench, Development-

>ABAP/4 Dictionary)

Step 2: In Object name field enter the name of data element.

Step 3: Choose the data element radio button and press the create button. (Next window will

appear)

Step 4: Enter a title (short text) for that data element.

Step 5: Enter the domain name and press enter (This domain should be active.).Then its data type

and length will be displayed there from the domain values.

Step 6: Enter the field labels.( short with maximum 10 characters, medium with maximum 15characters, long with maximum 20 characters, Header field length should be equal or less than the

output length of the domain)

Step 7: Press Save button (Another screen will be displayed)

Step 8: Enter the local object button.


19/20

Step 9: Enter the documentation button. Another screen will be displayed. Here we need to enter the

documentation of the field. By default first line will contain the character &DEFINITION&. Dont

change that, and start to enter the description from the second line)

Step 10: Press save and then back button on the screen.

Step 11: Press Activate button (Now our data element is activated and ready)Step 12: For going back to the dictionary initial screen press back button.

As per the hierarchy we can say that table field objects contains domain objects and domain objects

contains data elements (tables ->fields -> Domains -> data elements)

Steps to Creating domains, Data Elements, Tables

To give you the steps for creating table:.

There are two approach in creating a table.

1. Bottom-up approach

2. Top-down approach.

Both are valid and you can choose which approach is suitable for you. I always use

the bottom-up approach. Here are the steps to create the tables with this approach.

1. SE11 will take you to the DDIC and enter the name of the new table to be created.

Let us say Zname. Click create.

2. Enter the short discription of the table and enter the field of the table. If it is

primary key and you have to check the box.

3. Enter the data element and double click it, you will be asked to save and will take

you to data element discription page. Enter the short discription of the data element

and enter the information of domain like the length of field and type of field.

4. If you wanted to use the existing domain then its fine, or else, you have to create

one. Enter the domain name in the data element page and double click it. Page willask to save and jump to domain creation page.

5. In the domain page, you have to save the information which you have already given

in the data elements page and check it. Before going to data element page, you have

to activate the domain.

6. Go to data element page and save, check and activate.

7. Go to main table page and save, check, and activate.

8. Also, you have to save the technical settings of the table.

The table is now ready for operation. You can use it in your program or you can use it

to enter information.

Check table: It is the table which will have all the information about the Foreign keys

which are the primary keys in the check table.

It can be created by creating the foreign key from the main table. Click foreign key in

the main table and it will take you to a page which will ask for table name and field to

which foreign key relation has to be associated. Enter the information and you can

create the check table automatically.

SM30 is used for maintenance of the table, that is to realease the errors occured during

the creation of the table.
