Definition
External data format that appears on the user interface.
Permitted data categories and fields in which they are used, are:
ACCP
Posting period YYYYMM
CHAR node change converted. A length of up to 255 characters is allowed. Longer strings must be defined with the help of the data category LCHR.
CLNT
Client in the key. This involves an SAP format. If a table is to be created as a client-specific table, then a client field is assigned to this format. The client field must take the first position.
CUKY
Field that contains the permitted currencies.
CURR
Currency field. Corresponds to an amount field DEC, and refers to a field of type CUKY.
DATS

INT1
1 byte integer up to 254
INT2

INT4
4 byte integer up to 536,870,991
LANG

LRAW

NUMC
Field of user-defined length, in which only numbers can be entered. No calculation operations can be performed with the entries that are made in a field of this type. It only serves as a category for a numerical key field (e.g.: Personnel number).
PREC
States the precision of a QUAN field.
QUAN
Field in which quantities are entered. A field with this format refers to a field of the type UNIT.
RAW
Uninterpreted byte sequence with a maximum length of 255. Longer sequences must be defined with the help of type LRAW.
TIMS
Field that contains a time with the format hhmmss.
