Activities
Creating a domain
1. Select the Create Data Elements in the ABAP Dictionary activity (SE11 transaction).
2. Click the Domain radio button. Enter a domain name in the field. For example, enter ZPC_COSO_REL.
3. Click Create.
4. The Dictionary: Maintain Domain screen appears. In the Short Description field, enter a brief description about your domain.
5. In the Definition tab, enter the data type in the Data Type field.
6. In the No. Characters field, enter a value for the number of characters (length).
7. In the Value Range tab, specify the domain values.
Note: You can maintain the value for space (the first field in the Fix Value column). This value can also be used as the default value. If your organization operates with multiple languages enter transaction code SE63 and input the languages you want to appear on the screen.
8. Click Save.
9. Click Check.
10. Click Activate. Make sure that the object is placed into your project package.
Creating data elements
Note: It is important to create specific data elements for each field at this time because the labels of the user interface (UI) elements associated with these fields come directly from the data element definition. There is no other process to influence these labels.
1. Click the Create Data Elements in the ABAP Dictionary activity (SE11 transaction).
2. Click the Data Type radio button and in the field, enter the same name you entered for domain. For example, enter ZPC_COSO_REL.
3. Click Create. A dialog box appears.
4. Click the Data Element radio button and click OK.
5. The Dictionary: Maintain Data Element screen appears. Enter the name of the data element and description.
6. On the Field Label tab, specify the texts to be used in the UI.
Note: Be careful in entering the descriptions for the field labels.
7. Click Save.
8. Click Check.
9. Click Activate.
10. Repeat the steps above for the other two data elements: ZPC_COSO_DATE with domain DATS and ZPC_COSO_COMMENT with domain TEXT100.
Creating a structure using the data elements
1. Select the Create Data Elements in the ABAP Dictionary activity (SE11 transaction).
2. Click on the Data Type radio button and enter the name of the structure form. For example, enter HRI9101.
3. Click Create. A dialog box appears. Select the Structure radio button then click OK.
4. The Dictionary: Maintain Structure screen appears. On the Components tab, enter the following field names and their respective data elements:
- ZZCOSO_REL
- ZZCOSO_DATE
- ZZCOSO_COMMENT
Note: Make sure that the fields are included in the customer name space. Though the customer name space is not critical at this point, you will include the structure as a customer include into the SAP-delivered structure.
5. In the menu, select Extra->Enhancement category. A dialog box appears.
6. Click Cannot Be Enhanced.
7. Click Copy.
8. Click Save.
9. Click Check.
10. Click Activate.
