1. In the field maintenance screen of the table choose Goto ® Techn.setting.

The maintenance screen of the technical settings appears.

2. Choose the Data Class of the table.
3. Choose the Size Category of the table.

The input help for the Size category field shows how many data records correspond to the individual categories.

4. With the Buffering Permission, define whether the table may be buffered.
5. If you permitted buffering for the table, define the Buffering Type of the table.

Further information about when to buffer tables and which buffering type you should choose can be found in Buffering Database Tables.



If the key length of the table is larger than 64, the table cannot be buffered generically. If the key length of the table is larger than 255, table buffering is not possible.

6. Select Log data changes if you want to log changes to data records of the table (see Logging).



If the key of the table has more than 86 places or the data part of the table has more than 500 places, it is not possible to log the table.

To log changes, system logging must be activated with the profile parameter rec/client. The Log data changes flag on its own does not cause the table changes to be logged!

7. Save your entries and activate the technical settings with Settings ® Activate.

The Convert to transparent table flag is displayed for pooled tables (and tables which were converted to a transparent table with this flag at an earlier time). You can make the pooled table a transparent table with this flag (see Transparent Flag).
