Output length

 

The number of places and not the output length is used for visualization purposes.

Lowercase flag, Sign flag

 

The lowercase flag and the sign flag are not used for visualization since they do not represent a type property that is supported everywhere (ABAP ignores them). Automatic conversion to uppercase is not considered advisable for applications in a Web environment.

Parameter ID

 

A parameter ID can be used to display a standardized field history. Individual alternatives are also allowed. See also: Field History.

Conversion exit

 

Like explicit field transfers and explicit input checks, conversions must be performed explicitly. You can perform a conversion routine by explicitly starting the appropriate function modules (CONVERSION_EXIT_xxxxx_INPUT / CONVERSION_EXIT_xxxxx_OUTPUT) at the right times.

If the set of values is small, you can display it in the form of a dropdown listbox using the value help. The internal values must be stored in the key column and the corresponding external representation in the value column.

Reference

 

References are not taken into consideration when currency and quantity fields are handled. In the BSP application, you must ensure that the units are explicitly assigned to values.
