Creation of Object Attributes

[Roehlen, Peter]

Hi Diane,
 
Structures are commonly used for screen fields but aren't actually database
tables and so do not store any data persistently (ie they only contain data
for the life of the screen or program.)  Unless the field is a calculated
field, the field/attribute you are interested in would be stored in a
database table with a different name.
 
Finding the name of the database table you need can be very easy and also
very difficult (involving deep program debugging).  I suggest you discuss it
with an ABAP programmer at your site and he may be able to track it down for
you.
 
As a guide, unless the field is contained in the same table as the key field
of your business object type (view VIQMEL in the case of BUS2078) you will
possibly need to create a virtual attribute to add it in anyway which may
involve some programming.

Subject: Creation of Object Attributes
 
 
I am creating object attributes in a Zbus2078 object.  The field is found in
a structure table.  When I enter it in the program gives me an error, i.e.,
"RQM02 is not found in the ABAP Dictionary as a table, projection or
database view."  What does this mean and what do I need to do to incorporate
this structure in to the object program?  Where can I find information on
the process for resolving this error?  Thanks in advance!!!
