In this Customizing activity, you modify the ABAP dictionary by creating a data element. Creating an extra data element (and not reusing the existing one) is important because the user interface and reporting take the captions from the definition of the data element.

You can create a data element as described below. The following steps use the creation of a calendar date, as an example:

Creating Domains and Data Elements

1. Select the Domainfield and enter the name of the domain, for example, ZPC_ISSUE_KEYDATE. You must create a logical prefix (starting with Z or Y) for your naming convention to indicate that it is a customer-specific namespace.
2. Press the F4key and maintain the description and the domain. You must maintain the domain if you want to create a new data element.
   
   Note: You must name the description according to your project standards. For example, keeping in view as to whether the domain is a standard domain for the calendar date.
3. Choose Create and then select the data element, for example, ZPC_ISSUE_KEYDATE. After you activate the object, you must put the data element into your customer-specific package.
4. Select the Field Labels tab and maintain the texts based on what you want to see on your Risk Management or Process Control screens and reports.
   
   Note: If multiple languages are needed, use transaction SE63 to enter the text in the languages needed.
5. Save, check, and activate your new data element.

Creating a Field with a Fixed List of Possible Values

1. Select the Data Type field and enter the name of the data type, for example, ZPC_ISSUE_KIND. You must create a logical prefix (starting with Z or Y) for your naming convention to indicate that it is a customer-specific namespace.
2. Choose Create.
3. Enter the required information in the Short Description and the Data Type (CHAR) fields.
4. Enter the length of the field. For example, use 1 to store the fixed values associated with a single character:
5. Select the Value Range tab page, and then enter the set of the fixed values and their association with descriptive texts.
   The default value in the user interface is an empty space. You can therefore maintain an empty space as a valid value. If the application cannot find this value in the set of predefined valid values, it can lead to unexpected results. You must enter a description such as not specified, since the value can have different semantics for different cases.
   Note: If multiple languages are needed, use transaction SE63 to enter the text in the languages needed.
   
6. Save, check, and activate the new domain.
   
   You can now use the domain to create the data element.
