Definition

Field number in the field catalog.

Use

All fields in a field catalog are sorted in ascending order. This affects the Archive Information Structures which refer to this field catalog. The fields in the archive info structure are also sorted according to field number. Therefore you should note the following points:

  • All key fields must have a number lower than the data fields. We recommend that you number the key fields from '00' to '99' and the data fields from '100' to '999'.
  • The key fields which are most likely to be filled during an info structure access, should be given a lower number than those fields which are less likely to be filled. If for example, the key field 'ACCT' is always read during an info structure search, then you should give this field the lowest number.
  • Data fields should be sorted according to business context. For example, you can do this if all of the 'master data' data fields are within the range 100 to 199, all of the organizational units are within the range 200 to 299 and all other folders in the range 300 to 399. This is particularly useful because the value help (F4-help) also sorts according to field number when selecting a data field for an info structure.
