Logical Tables (ttaad4120m000)

Use this session to specify logical tables. The logical tables have a different company number than the company number where the data has been physically stored. It is often used in financial packages.

You can specify the modules, the tables, and the physical company for a logical company. What you specify for a table has a higher priority than what you specify for all tables in a module.

Example
Logical Comp.Table SelectionTable/ModulePhysical Company
100Tables in Moduletiitm500
100Specified Tabletiitm001100
100Specified Tabletccom000500

 

The tables of the tiitm module of the logical company 100 are physically stored under company 500, except for the tiitm001 table. The tccom000 table is also stored under company 500.

After you have entered the data you have to convert the data to the runtime DD. The runtime data is stored in $BSE/lib/compnr6.2 file.

Use the appropriate menu to:

  • Copy modules/tables from the data dictionary.
  • Rebuild the $BSE/lib/compnr6.2 file in the run-time data dictionary.
Note

You can also define a physical company equal to the logical company. This is useful when you want to define an exception for a particular table in a module.
