Implementation of New Data Types within Technical Settings

Description

Affects all users who have previously implemented new data types:

Up to now, extensive modifications had to be carried in order to implement new data types within the technical settings. The implementation of a new data type has now been considerably simplified, but must also be carried out differently, by informing the system again of data types that have already been implemented.

1. Table entries

Entries are also to be included in the following tables:

1.1 DDART
TABART : <name of the data type>
DDCLASS : USR
2.1 DARTT
TABART : <name of the data type>
DDLANU : Language
DARTTEXT: Text with which the data type is to be described in
F4 help

The F4 help for the implemented data type is set up in this way.
All the previously made table entries for the implemented data type that remain stay unchanged.

2. Program changes

Up to now, implementing a new data type required changes to program SAPMSEDS, screen 50 and to program TDD02CHE. Part of the simplification of the implementation of a new data type is that program changes no longer need to be made by the customer. Changes that have already been made are no longer necessary, and also do not need to be reversed since the corresponding programs, SAPMSEDS, and screen 50 are added during a release upgrade.
