Documentation
Definition
The defining field has two different functions depending on the field type.
Field type ' ', 1, 2, 3
It is sometimes necessary to uniquely determine the value of a field depending on another field. An ABAP routine has to be written which defines this assignment.
Two situations can occur here:
- Field T804C-FSELECTION = 'X' ("Define in selection")
In the selection, a field of the additional structure (see table T804A) is to be filled depending on a database field.
Example: In the Special Purpose Ledger, the field for the unit of the group currency is derived from the current ledger. The unit is defined in the field GCURR of the additional structure GLDBZ via an exit (see table GLT1, for example) because the summary database does not contain this field.
- Field T804C-FSELECTION = ' ' ("Define in selection")
The value of a field is determined depending on another field in the edit.
Field type 4
The defining field defines the original field to which the alias refers. All other details are ignored for this field.
