• SAP Tcode: MC18 - Create Field Catalog

  
  Overview:
  The SAP transaction code MC18 is used to create a field catalog in the SAP system. A field catalog is a list of fields that can be used to define the layout of a screen. It is used to store information about the fields, such as their data type, length, and description. 
  
  Functionality: 
  The MC18 transaction code allows users to create a field catalog in the SAP system. This field catalog can then be used to define the layout of a screen. The field catalog contains information about the fields, such as their data type, length, and description. This information can be used to ensure that the data entered into the screen is valid and consistent. 
  
  Step-by-step How to Use: 
  1. Enter the transaction code MC18 in the command field. 
  2. Enter the name of the field catalog you want to create in the “Field Catalog Name” field. 
  3. Enter the description of the field catalog in the “Description” field. 
  4. Enter the name of each field you want to include in the field catalog in the “Field Name” field. 
  5. Enter the data type of each field in the “Data Type” field. 
  6. Enter the length of each field in the “Length” field. 
  7. Enter a description for each field in the “Description” field. 
  8. Click on “Save” to save your changes and create your new field catalog. 
  
  Other Recommendations: 
  It is recommended that users take care when creating a new field catalog as it can have an impact on other parts of the system if not done correctly. It is also recommended that users test their new field catalog before using it in production systems to ensure that it works as expected.
