Increase the field length of User fields for WBS elements in CJ02/CJ01

[Former Member]

Hello,

In user fields section of WBS elements there are some numeric fields. We need to increase the field length of these numerica fields such that system allows to enter amounts upto 12 digits before the decimal. At present when we try to enter such long values system throws error saying 'Entry Too long'

Please help, how can we enter such long values in these fields via tcode CJ01/CJ02.

Hello

You can view/change the data element in SE11

(example . Table PRPS field USR01 => Data element USR01PRPS

This field has No. of Characters 20)

This limitation is deinfed in here the data element. (in this case 20)

If you want to change this you have to make a modification

of the data element

• note if change of the data element, then all the other fields which

are using the same data element will also get effect,

This can be a big risk

We suggest in general not to modify, preventing inconsistencies

I think It is not an easy task to change the field length of a standard field.

Better to go for a custom enhanced Tab and create the fields as you required.

Hi,

Check if you can use the user exit CNEX0001 to achieve your requirement. You canl also check the user exit CNEX0007.
