p_appl_short_ name: The application short name of the application that owns
the table (usually your custom application).
p_tab_name: The name of the table (in uppercase letters).
p_tab_type: Use T if it is a transaction table (almost all application tables), or
S for a seed data table.
p_next_extent: The next extent size, in kilobytes. Do not include the K.
p_pct_free: The percentage of space in each of the tables blocks reserved for
future updates to the table (1-99).
p_pct_used: Minimum percentage of used space in each data block of the table
(1-99). The sum of p_pct_free and p_pct_used must be less than 100.

p_col_name : The name of the column (in uppercase letters).

the column appears in the table defnition).
p_col_type : The column type (NUMBER, VARCHAR2, DATE, etc.).
p_col_width : The column size (a number). Use 9 for DATE columns, 38 for
NUMBER columns (unless it has a specifc width).
p_nullable : Use N if the column is mandatory or Y if the column allows null
values.
p_translate : Use Y if the column values will be translated for an Oracle E-
Business Suite product release (used only by Oracle E-Business Suite products)
or N if the values are not translated (most application columns).
p_precision : The total number of digits in a number.
p_scale : The number of digits to the right of the decimal point in a number.

Something you have to know
The AD_DD API does NOT check for the existence of the registered table or
column in the database schema, but only updates the required AOL tables. You
must ensure that the tables and columns registered actually exist and have the
same format as that defned using the AD_DD API.
You need NOT register views.
You should run the AD_DD procedures against the APPS schema. You must
commit your changes for them to take efect.
Execute the Table Registration API.
