A domain defines a value range.To be able to use it in a Web Dynpro application,in other repository object, as parameter in GUI programming,etc.we have to assign it to a data element
Data elements and domains
We create a domain named Y_COUNTRY_DOMAIN that holds all the names of EU member states, with the proper abbreviation. In “Definition” tab we have to specify properties as data type, number of characters or length of output
Definition of a domain – tab “Definition”
In “Value Range” we have three possibilities:
We begin with the first possibility, “Single values”. We define the domain fixed values – all the abbreviations of the EU countries, and a short text – the corresponding country names.
Definition of a domain – tab “Value Range”
As we have specified, to be able to use a domain we have to assign it to a data element. To do this, we create a new data element and we choose the elementary type – domain.
Assigning a domain to a data element
When we use this data element in our Web Dynpro application, for example to define a parameter or a context attribute, the user is allowed to choose only the values that range among values we have defined in Domain.
To explain the next possibility (“Intervals”), we take an example where we need to store, in a table column, the ages between 18 and 45. In this case, we can use an interval to limit the values that the user may enter.
Definition of a domain – interval
We use this interval in the database table YPERSON, defined hereinafter. For this, we assign it to a data element Y_DEINTERVAL.
To explain the last possibility (“Value Table”), we use a domain that is defined in the system: WAERS.
Domain WAERS – value table
It is recommendable to use the value table when we have many fixed values. In our case, we have used the system table TCURC. This table holds all the system currency.
We use this value table in the database table YEU_COUNTRIES, defined hereunder. For this, we assign it to a data element Y_CURRENCY.
