How To Fix S3034 - Specify name, short text, type and table name/data type.

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: S3 - Transaction for processing logical databases

• Message number: 034

• Message text: Specify name, short text, type and table name/data type.

What causes this issue?

When creating the structure of a logical database you must first define
the root node of the structure, that is the node at the highest level
in the structure. That happens on this screen.
The name of the node can be chosen freely (special characters are not
permitted).
In addition to this you must make a Dictionary reference by specifying
a type and a table name or a structure name.
A node can have the following types :
<LS>T (Table)</> : Table or structure from the Dictionary (this type
exactly matches the concept before Release 4.0A). With this type the
table name must be the same as the node name.
<LS>S (Structure)</> : Table or structure from the Dictionary (like
type T), however the node name can be different to the table name.
<LS>C (Complex data object)</> : A type defined in a type group can be
used as the node of a logical database. To do this the name of the type
group must be maintained in the field type group. The type definition
must be done via <LS>Dictionary -> Change type groups</> (see also
<DS:ABEN.TYPES&OBJECTS>Complex data element</>)
If a complex data object ( type 'C' ) is entered as the type of a node
then a type group must also be specified. For nodes of the type 'T' or
'S' the field type group must be empty.
