Technical Attributes of Domains

The only technical attribute of a domain is the description of an elementary data type whose technical attributes

• predefined data type in ABAP Dictionary,

• length, and

• a number of decimal places (optional)

are defined directly in the domain.

Other versions: 7.31 | 7.40 | 7.54

Note

When existing domains are modified, all users of the domain are also affected. In particular, foreign keys can become inconsistent when used for the fields of database tables, which makes conversions necessary.
