Entering Basic Set Values 

  1. On the Create Set: Header Screen, choose Goto ® Values.

    2. The Create Set: Values screen appears for basic sets.

    You enter values in a basic set according to the field type that is defined for the set's characteristic. The field type is defined in the ABAP Dictionary.

  2. Enter basic set values as required.

    3. You can enter single values, a range of values, a variable, and/or a formula in a basic set.

    · You can use the Insert all values function to insert all possible values for the characteristic that the set uses. You can only use this function for basic sets.

    · If you want to enter the initial value of space in a set row, enter a space with the space bar in the From value field.

  3. If the basic set is to be used by the Report Writer in reporting, enter the following data as required:

    4. – Short text describing the set row

    This text is displayed in the row of a report when you use the set in a report.

    – Indicator that determines whether the Report Writer only prints the total for a specified row and not individual values.

    When you use the set in a report, the system only prints the sum of the set row instead of the individual values of the set row.

    – Field that determines how report rows are displayed depending on whether the value in the report column is positive (+) or negative ().

    The Chk clmn f. +/- sign field in the report’s layout parameters determines which column is used for the +/- sign check.

    If you use asset accounts for a balance sheet in your set, you can enter a plus sign (+) for every asset account. When the asset accounts appear in a report, the account amount must be greater than or equal to zero before the account amount is displayed in the report. If the amount is less than zero, a zero displays for the asset account.

    – Format group for the set row

    For more information, see setting format groups in sets.

    – Symbolic name for the set row

    This value is used in Report Writer cells to represent a set row. For more information, see using symbolic names in Report Writer.

    – Field that determines if values should be checked against a specific application check routine.
