Changing the label of a field in SAP GUI

Hello SAP Guys,
I would like to change the label of a field in SAP GUI.
I already did it internally because for that field the Shor Text of the label changed:
I went to SE11, and wrote down the appropriate data element, through Translation I changed the entries of SCRTEXT_L, SCRTEXT_M and SCRTEXT_S and activated this change after saving.
It is very strange that after making sure that the
Short Text of that field was changed, I went to trx BP and I could see that the label didn´t change.
I´ll appreciate any help you can give me,
Regards,
Efrain

Hi Efrain,
Can you tell me in which screen did you make the screen.
Moreover the changes are not reflected immediately.
What you can try is to create a new record of the transaction in which you changed the label and save the recore. After this try to close the session and reopen the transaction and this should work.
The reason is the label on the screen are not picked up from the data element everytime but from buffer. So when you create a record this updates the database table entry and can also refresh the buffer.
I had the same problem in BP transaction and the above solution worked.
Let me know if this helps.
Jash.

  • How to change the lenth of existing field in sap standard table

    Hi all,
    can anybody help,my requirement is, how to change the length of existing field in sap standard table....
    thanks in advance..

    Which field are you thinking of in particular?  Are you wanting to increase or decrease the length?
    Some fields are used so extensively that a change to their length will mean adjusting many tables, some of them potentially very large, and hence taking a long time to adjust.
    Some standard SAP programs expect certain fields to be of specific lengths and won't work if the length is changed.
    Some screens could cease to work.
    If you decrease length, then you could lose data.

  • Changing the text of Text field in standard SAP transaction.

    Hi expert,
    I have a requirement in which i have to change the text of Text field in standard SAP transaction.
    Is it possible? If so, how?
    Any pointers will be highly appreciated.

    Hi,
    I think you want to change the field label of the text field.
    For ex in tcode MM01, you can change the field label of Material text field.
    The description of the field label comes from the data element it is associated with. To change the text of the field label, you have to change the field label of the data element.
    But it will effect all the fields associated with this data element.
    To change the field label of the data element go to tcode CMOD. Then click on GOTO->TEXT ELEMENTS->KEYWORDS->CHANGE.
    Then enter the data element which is to be changed. In the next screen, change the field label and save it.

  • Changing the Label of the LDB - PNP Screen Field(Date field)

    Hi,
    I got a req. to change the label of the field "Data Selection Period".  This field is from PNP LDB.
    Pls let me know, is there any FM or any other process?

    you can customize the PNP selection screen by creating a report class. you will find the button in the report attributes.
    or you can define your own selection view via SE80 an maintaining table T599C.
    but I dont't think you will be able to rename the field lable.

  • Change the description of a field in a SAP QUERY

    Can i change the description of a field in a SAP QUERY report in the output of the report.or only the standard descriptions can be displayed.
    Edited by: mysap query on May 12, 2009 7:23 AM

    HI,
    in query maintenance (sq01) you can change the text of the field at the selection screen (change the selection text in the screen where you choose the selection fields) and the header text in the output list (basiclist maintennace , go to "basic list header", double-click each header field to maintain the text). This change is only for the particular query. No ABAP-er required to do so.

  • Change the label names in Shopping Cart for LATAM countries..

    Hi Gurus,
    We are implementing SRM for LATAM countries. The portuguese & spanish language here are different than those in Portugal & Spain.
    The translations that are coming for these countries are different than what SAP as a standard is offering.
    In view of this, to list some of the issues as below -->
    The word u201CSolicitaru201D (which means Order in English) they want to replace it as u201CEnviaru201D, this is more usual in the LATAM spanish language to send for approval.
    The other one is u201CTartaru201D (which means Edit in english) they want it to replace with word is u201CEditaru201D.
    Can we change these label names without affecting the Portugal & Spain translations which the user there are already fine with.
    Appreciate your quick help.
    Thanks,
    Abey

    Hola,
    You can do it in the component configuration;
    -Goto se80 to the component FPM_OIF_COMPONENT and configuration /SAPSRM/WDCC_FPM_OIF_SC_PROFNL (or what you want, you can see it in technical settings in the portal)
    - Choose "Start Configurator" and change
    - Choose your button and change the label in the field "Identif"

  • Changing the label of TOC to another language in Captivate 7

    I am using Captivate 7 and created a number of English Projects.  I have translated these English files to French (by exporting/importing captions), changed the voices, etc, etc.  All is now in French in the project except the title of the Table of Contents when enabled.  I have already changed the labels in the table of contents for things such as Slide Title, Duration, etc by creating the TOCStrings.ini file and copying it to my root folder - that works as described in other posts/blogs. However, I am unable to change the Heading/Label of "Table of Contents" to French. 
    Is the TOCStrings.ini file the place to change the label of Table of Contents to French?  If so, what string would I add to the file to make this change happen?
    Can someone please let me know where the change can be made (if not in the TOCStrings.ini) or if the change is even possible? 
    Thank you!

    If you enter data in the Info fields of the TOC, the indicator 'Table of Contents' will automatically be replaced by the Title field.

  • How can i change the label of an array controller in the xib file

    I have seven instances of NSArrayController in my main xib file; they are all labled 'Array Controller' and I cannot change the label in the list of objects.  I can change the label in the identity inspector, but the label still remains 'Array Controller' in the list of objects.  If I double-click on the label that is in the list and change the label its value changes in the identity inspector when I tab out of the label field but the label reverts to 'Array Controller' in the list of objects.  I'll never be able to keep the seven controllers straight in my head.  Is there a solution?

    The problem is was in Xcode, while editing the xib file.  After many back and forth jumps (between Xcode and this composer for the discussion) and many attempts to relabel the array controllers over two hours, the changes have appeared just as I want.  I hate it when that happens (who likes egg on their face?)
    I'm sorry for wasting your time.  Thanks for your input.

  • Help in changing the size of a field length.

    hello,
    i need to change the size of a field in the table PAYR for the field CHECT.
    Present size is 13. I want to make it as 20. Is there any OSS notes for this. If yes, Please let me know how to implement that.
    Thanks
    Senthil

    I hope there will not be any note for this.
    Please follow the procedure.
    Go to the domain and Check the domain where it is used and meke sure that it will effect all the tables where it is embeded.
    If you want to change this leangth you have to take the OSS key for that hope you have service.sap login id right.
    There you have to  give the details of that domain object and go for the generate key.
    The domain details you have to provide while generating the key .
    these details we will call it as object directry enties.
    Take all those things and give while you are genereating the key.
    Hope you will do it.

  • Change the name of a field in the forms

    Hello, experts:
    As I can change the name of a field in the forms?
    When you change the name of a field on the form, the field name in the database also changes?
    Joan

    Hello Joan:
    If you mean the label of the form you can do with CTR + Double Click.
    Remember not to change the integrity of the database. Is only allowed to user fields
    make changes at the level of views, stored procedures, among others, which do not compromise the integrity of
    data.
    Remember, even if they change the label, has changed the field name in the database, only the presentation
    the form.

    Hi CONS SAP,
    You can use se16n transaction. This is very user friendly trnasaction. You may use it like this:
    1) Start transaction SE16n.
    2) Type the table name and press ENTER.
    3) Type the string "&sap_edit" into the command line and press Enter.
    4) Enter your selection criteria and press F8.
    Now you can easily change/delete/add the lines you want and then save.
    All Changes are recorded in the tables SE16N_CD_DATA and SE16N_CD_KEY.
    But I would request you to keep in mind the suggestions from Vijay Babu Dudla
