Beginners Guide To ABAP – Module 2 – Data Dictionary – Create A Table Part 3
This is a continuation of the previous video here: Create A SAP Table Part 2. Watch that video first.
In this article we’re going to continue creating our first data table. In the previous article, we went through every single step to create our first field data element and domain. Now we’re going to continue creating the four additional fields but a little bit faster.
Field: SURNAME
The next field we want to create is the SURNAME field by keying in the word SURNAME. We don’t want to make this a key field, so do not check the box.
Under Data element, let’s create an element called ZSURNAME. We will do this by using forward navigation. To do so, just double-click on ZSURNAME. A pop-up window should come up. Choose Yes to save the table. Then choose Yes to create ZSURNAME as a data element when prompted by another pop-up window. Next, key in the Short text field with the text Surname Data Element.
We will create a brand new domain. We’ll use forward navigation again. Double click ZSURNAME. Choose Yes to save the data element when prompted. Assign it to the Local object development class. Choose Yes to create the domain. Then key in SURNAME in the Short text field.
