Procedure

An Application Log statistic collects information at runtime about how many errors, warnings, etc. have been collected for a context information.

This context information is defined with the structure BAL_S_SDEF and comprises the context structure name (field TABNAME) and a set of fields (T_FIELDS) from the structure.

Example:
A runtime statistic is to be maintained of the number of errors per plant/warehouse. TABNAME could contain 'MY_STRUC', and T_FIELDS the 'WERK' and 'LGORT' fields in MY_STRUC.

Possible statistic definition errors:

  • The specified structure is not flat (i.e. it contains structures or tables) or is longer than 256 bytes. This structure cannot be used for message context.
  • T_FIELDS contains more than 10 fields
  • A field in T_FIELDS does not exist in the structure
  • The sum of the field lengths is greater than 60 bytes
  • A field does nicht have one of the following types:
    • C: Character
    • N: Number
    • D: Date: YYYYMMDD
    • T: Time: HHMMSS
    • X: Byte (heXadecimal)
    • P: Packed number
