Hi,
Can anyone tell me the maximum number of versions for a DIR? The field is 2-char alpha/numberic. I assume after it reaches 99 it will start using alpha characters. I am looking for the pattern it will use after 99 and also the total number of versions allowed.
Thank you
Bob Schaefer
Hi Bob,
This depends on the version increment defined in your document type. Version increment "1" is 00 to 99. It will not use alpha after 99... I presume it may give an error or start again from 00 if ver 00 does not exist anymore, but I haven't really tested this out. There several other version increments you can choose from and the number of versions allowed will depend on that. For example version increment "3" is defined as A0 to Z9, therefore this will give you 26x10 = 260 versions.
Extract from the SAP help pasted below will give you a pretty good idea of the possibilities.
Value Description
0 No version numbers
1 Numeric version numbers 00 .. 99
2 Numeric version numbers 01 .. 99
3 Alphanumeric numbers A0 .. Z9
4 Alphanumeric numbers A1 .. Z9
5 Alphanumeric numbers AA .. ZZ
6 AA .. AZ,A0 .. A9;BA .. Z9
7 as 6, but without 0
8 _A .. Z ; AA .. Z9
9 as 5, but 00 allowed
A as 6, but 00 allowed
for USER-EXIT
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Lashan
