Hi,

There will be limits beyond SAP's. You will need to speak with a DBA on your staff that supports your underlying DB system.

Each DB system/version will have limits that are enforced on all SAP data dic objects.

Following are the major constraints in Table. Nothing Else!!!!!!

1. All the key fields of a table must be stored together at the beginning of the table. A non-key field may not occur between two key fields.

2. A maximum of 16 key fields per table is permitted. The maximum length of the table key is 255.

3. If the key length is greater than 120, there are restrictions when transporting table entries. The key can only be specified up to a maximum of 120 places in a transport. If the key is larger than 120, table entries must be transported generically.

4. A table may not have more than 249 fields. The sum of all field lengths is limited to 1962 (whereby fields with data type LRAW and LCHR are not counted).

5. Fields of types LRAW or LCHR must be at the end of the table. Only one such field is allowed per table. There must also be a field of type INT2 directly in front of such a field. The actual length of the field can be entered there by the database interface.

Best regards,

I think the limit for number of characters on a table is somewhere around the 4000 mark. You cannot exceed that limit.

The solution could be to either shorten your fields that you want to add and bring them under the limit, or create two Ztables with the same key for different fields.

You can try to check if there are any OSS notes that will allow you to go beyond this limit(highly unlikely).
