How to edit data type and length of an structure?

[neilpadilla]

Hi Guys,

Good day!

I would like to ask for your assistance on how to edit the data type and length of a component/field in an structure.

I have a component/field wherein I would like to change the data type from DATS to STRING with length from 8 to 0.  But in transaction code SE11, I am not able to edit it.

Where can I be able to edit the data type and length?  Should it be in Enterprise Service Builder?

Thanks and Regards.

You can easily change the data type in ESR(repository).

Any issues in doing that?

Hi Hareesh,

If I update the data type in ESR, will it also automatically update the structure's data type in transaction code SE11?

Are you using it in developing the Proxy? Did you activate it? It should reflect.

Hi Neil,

you need to regenerate the proxy after updating the data type in ESR. then the new data type will reflect in ABAP.

hi Neil,

You would require to regenerate the proxy in SPROXY transaction that should suffice

assuming that its a proxy scenario.

thanks and regards,
