Creating Fixed Value Appends

You use fixed values to further restrict the value range of a domain. If you define fixed values for a domain, these are used in the input check in screen templates. If no other means of help is defined for a field (see search help, foreign key), the fixed values are also offered in the input (F4) help.

  1. Open the Repository Browser (transaction code SE80) and navigate to the domain that you want to enhance.
  2. Double-click on the domain.

    The domain maintenance screen appears in display mode.

  3. Choose Goto → Fixed Value Append.
  4. If no other appends have been created for the table, a dialog box appears where you must enter the name of the fixed value append. The name of the fixed value append must be in the customer namespace.
