In this step, you define the logical fields which you want to use for generating the work area (selection of loans) of a file (fill file).

The function Fill file in the application menu assigns loans which fulfil the selection criteria to the main file structure. The fields which are used as selection criteria can originate from SAP standard tables or from external files.

Example

You want to select all loans with contract capital of over DM 500,000 and a collateral object located in France. For this condition, you need to create a logical field for contract capital and one for the country of the object.

Requirements

The SET and GET functions must exist in the program. You can add these functions yourself.

Standard settings

SAP supplies over 20 fields as a sample. The related GET/SET routines are contained in sample program SAPFF67P. You must define new routines, which read other tables or external files, in a separate program, which you create in the customer name range. You must integrate the GET/SET routines in this program.

Activities

  1. Choose New entries.
  2. Enter a user-defined field number for the logical field.
  3. Enter a short name and long name for the logical field.
  4. Set the relevant flags.
    • If you want the field to be used as a selection criteria, flag the Selection field field.
  5. Enter the database table, in which the data field is located (if the field is not located in an SAP standard table, you need to enter a DDIC structure field), the DDIC field and the general parameter of the logical field.
    The general parameter is used in the SET/GET functions to specifically identify the requested object. For instance, in order to restrict the selection of condition items, you can enter the condition type here.
  6. Enter the names of the programs which maintain this data field (SET/GET functions).
    1. Read routine is the GET function.
    2. Write routine is the SET function.
  7. Save your entries.

Further notes

The logical fields are client-dependent.

The numbers you enter here determine the sequence of the fields that are available on the selection screen. The field with the lowest field number appears first (for example, 000010), the field with the next highest number appears second (for example 000020), and so on. It is advisable to assign field numbers with intervals of 10. This makes it easier to insert additional fields later on.

Caution
You should not change the fields delivered with the system. If you do not need some of the fields supplied by SAP, you should neither delete them nor change them. Instead, you should deactivate them as selection fields. To do this, deactivate the Selection field indicator on the detail screen.
