Changing field label for standard select option

Hi All,
I need to change the label for one of the standard select option for the custom report category.
the field is PNPSTAT1 - original label is - Customer-Specific Status - which i need to change as per customer requirement.
Can anyone tell me the way i can do it so that it can be viewed with correct label not only on the selection screen but in further selections mode as well.
Regards,
Raunak

Dear Raunak,
If you have standard select option for standard selection screen:
create a implicit enhancement for any standard program and wrote the below code at the end of the program and it is working..
INITIALIZATION.
%_s_PNPSTAT1%_app_%-text = 'ANY LABEL'.
If you have custom report select option, go to above Ravikiran's procedure.
Best of luck.
Regards,
Abbas.

Easy way to change field label for all UIs?

How would a customer change a field label for all UIs that use this field/attribute, which is not really a translation?
What I was able to find seems to be that we would need to edit Resource Bundles and that it will be much easier in Release 8:
1. Section More on Resource Bundles in https://blogs.oracle.com/fadevrel/entry/translating_your_customizations has this key passage:
This is an industry open standard (OASIS) format XML file with the extension .xliff, and store translated values for the strings used by ADF at run-time. The general process is that these values are exported from the MDS repository, manually edited, and then imported back in again.This needs to be done by an administrator, via either WLST commands or through Enterprise Manager as per the screenshot below. This is detailed out in the Fusion Applications Extensibility Guide.
2. That blog posting also says this will get easier in Release 8:
Currently planned for Release 8 is something called the User Interface (UI) Text Editor. This tool will allow the editing of all the text shown on the pages and forms of Fusion Application. This will provide a search based on a particular term or word, say “Worker”, and will allow it to be adjusted, say to “Employee”, which then updates all the Resource Bundles that contain it.
3. I found the video How To Customize Field Labels but it seems that is one UI label at a time...

Thanks Vivek, your answer was very helpful, however that's only to change the application description that goes in ESS overview screen, i want to change the labels that appear within the webdynpro application.
For intance, change the label "Absense Type" by "Type" only.

Changing field labels for JP29

Hello friends,
In transaction JP29 there are several field labels I want to change. I think I have to go to the MARA table and make the changes here, but I'm not sure where to do this.(trans se11 -> utilities-> database Utility?) In the test-system the labels are correct, but in production they are different, so I guess I have to make the changes in the production system?... I would appreciate any comments...
Regards Baljinder

Hi
Transaction: CMOD
Menu Path: Goto -> Text Enhancements -> Keywords ->
Change. Here we can give the data element and change the
label descriptions.
Kindly note that changes made here will be effective in
whole system, itz not specific to one data dictionary
object. Please understand the impact before making any
changes to SAP standard dictionary elements.

Document set change field label for "Name"

Hi,
is it possible to change the field names without changing the NewDocSet.aspx form?
I'm want to change the field "Name" to something else.
Thanks,
Peter

This is a very common question, and generally addressed by core ECM/Governance, where the users will view the name of Content Type and accept that the Name is the name of the content.
In undertaking split testing for multiple clients, I found that an overwhelming number of users easily accepted and preferred that the field was left as Name since the Content Type provided the context (Ex. if the Content Type is named Matter,
implicitly you would not need to repeat by having a field named Matter Name since the user knew that they were providing the name of the Matter).
This is a similiar situation as "Title" for a document. If I upload a document and select the appropriate Content Type such as "Summons", I know that I am providing the title of a summons document.
The challenge is not so much technical, but one of core ECM principles for context. I would flush out your Content Types so that they provide the description (ex. Matter, Summon, Pleading, Memo, etc.) and then the "Name" or "Title" fields do not become
a barrier since the user knows that when they select "Matter" as their Content Type, they are entering the "Name" for that "Matter File".

Changing field labels for multiple people.

I am quite new to applescript, so please bear with me.
I am just looking for a script to change a groups phone label to mobile. If anyone could point me in the right direction, or even give me a simple script, it would be greatly appreciated.

I haven't tested this (not quite brave enough), but I'd expect the script to look something like:
tell application 'Address Book"
-- get the people in the group
set thePeople to every person of group "GroupName"
-- iterate through them
repeat with eachPerson in thePeople
  -- get their phone numbers
  set thePhones to every phone of eachPerson
  -- and iterate through the phones
  repeat with eachPhone in thePhones
   -- set the label appropriately
   set label of eachPhone to "Mobile"
  end repeat
end repeat
end tell
Note this does mean if someone has multiple phone numbers they'll all be labelled 'Mobile'. I don't know how you want/expect to address that.

How To... Change the Data Type for a SELECT-OPTIONS at run time.

Hello,
I am trying to restrict the values available for entry into a SELECT-OPTIONS at run time depending on user input.
The logic is as follows. The user has two input fields. A PARAMETER field which has the type RSDIOBJNM and allows them to choose an InfoObject. And the user has a SELECT-OPTIONS field to allow them to select the Characteristic values for that InfoObject.
I would like the following example to be possible:
The user enters 0MATERIAL into the PARAMETER. When the user clicks on the SELECT-OPTIONS control code will derive a list of possible options the user can enter in the SELECT-OPTIONS. In this case only values found in the master data or at least no values greater than 18 characters.
I have looked at the following function module SELECT_OPTIONS_RESTRICT and this do not appear to be helpful as they only restrict on the signs allowed for the values (unless I misunderstand, it is a complex function module!).
The code I have so far is (thus the user enters a InfoObject into p_char1 and the select options so_char1 should only accept active values of that InfoObject):
declaration of variables for user interface
DATA c_char(32) TYPE c.
declaration of count variable
DATA i_count TYPE i.
declaration of user interface
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK a1 WITH FRAME TITLE text-001.
    PARAMETERS: p_ipack TYPE RSLOGDPID.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK a1.
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK b1 WITH FRAME TITLE text-002.
    PARAMETERS: p_char1 TYPE RSDIOBJNM.
    SELECT-OPTIONS: so_char1 for c_char NO INTERVALS.
    PARAMETERS: p_char2 TYPE RSDIOBJNM.
    SELECT-OPTIONS: so_char2 for c_char NO INTERVALS.
    PARAMETERS: p_char3 TYPE RSDIOBJNM.
    SELECT-OPTIONS: so_char3 for c_char NO INTERVALS.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK b1.
Is what I am trying to do possible???
Thanks for any help. Ross.

You really want to restrict possible values of a select-option based on another field, not change the length of type of the select-option field, right?
Here is what you do: Code a custom F4 value help for the select-option at event AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE REQUEST FOR.. The first thing you do here is read the value of the parameter field (p_ipack in your example). You can use function module DYNP_VALUES_READ. Based on this value, you can propose values for the select-option fields. Note that the use can still enter whatever s(he) wishes in to the select-option field without pressing F4. In this case, you will have to code some input validations taking into account the value in the p_ipack field.

Changing Field Labels of module pool screen dynamically

Hi All,
Can anybody tell me how to change field label of text field in dialog screen dynamically.
The Screen/Transaction is standard one.
I have created a Enhancement point for this change in one of PBO module's subroutine for this screen.
This Field label is defined as a 'Text' field only. We can't change it any more as it is standard one.
Can anybody tell me the solution for the same.
I have to change this label value as per some validations and its corresponding text field value will remain as is.
Thanks,
Deep.

Hello,
I think it is not possible, but try changing the name by Looping on screen table on PBO,
Bye

How to change field text in standard trasaction

Hi,
In XD01 transaction i need to change the standard field label, How difficult/easy is it to change field label of a SAP standard field? Is there any other way to change the screen text. please let me know.
regards
Jaya

Hi Jaya,
You can change the label on the screen directly - BUT this would be a modification.
There is a way to change field labels without a modification, but that has to be done on the data element level.
For that just find out the data element that is referenced and create a Text Enhancement for that Data Element which is NOT a modification.
- Goto transaction CMOD
- Choose Menu 'Goto'
- 'Text Enhancements'
- 'Keywords'
- 'Change'
- Put in the data Element Name and confirm
- You'll have the possibility to change the Label texts for
     Short, Medium and Long Field Label
     Heading
     Short Description
- Make your Changes and save
- Done
Where ever that data element is referenced you'll see your own text.
Hope that helps,
Michael

One search help for multiple select-options in webdynpro abap

Hi,
I need a way to use one search help for multiple select-options fields. My scenario is :
I have a table for keeping different organizational units' values of different systems. I have pasted some sample data from this table at the end of this mail. On the screen I want to have 1 select-options filed for werks, and 1 select-options filed for vkorg. (In fact I will have more org. unit fields...) In the beginning of my application the user will select sid.
If the user selects ADS as SID, when he opens search-help for the first org. unit (werks), he will see the records with SID: ADS, VARBL = $WERKS, LANGU = SY-LANGU.
If the user selects AGT as SID, when he opens search-help for the second org. unit (vkorg), he will see the records with SID: AGT, VARBL = $VKORG, LANGU = SY-LANGU.
I have created a search-help taking SIDD, VARBL and LANGU as import parameters; used field mapping and bound this search help to my table. I have created 2 context nodes : org1 and org2 having attributes SID, VARBL, VALUE, LANGU .
I have assigned related SID, VARBL and Langu values to these attributes at runtime as I needed. That way, if I use input field and reference to the related context attributes org1-value and org2-value2 accordingly, search help works well as I want.
However, when I use select-options field , I can not bind the field to the context data. I can give reference only to ddic structure. Is there any way to reference to a context attribute? I searched for this in SDN, but could find nothing.
I think I won't be able to use this way. What do you say?
As I read from forums maybe using OVS help will be suitable for me. But I have to use one search-help for all select-options fields. Do you know how I can determine the active select-options field and pass its name (for instance "werks" ) as parameter to this OVS search help. (Also I'll pass SID and LANGU.)
MY TABLE (ZBYYT080) CONTENTS:
SID     VARBL     VALUE     LANGU     VTEXT
ADS     $WERKS     1     T     Werk 0001
ADS     $WERKS     11     T     OZYAS GIDA URETIM YERI
ADS     $WERKS     5501     T     BOYA GEBZE FABRİKASI
ADS     $WERKS     5502     T     BOYA CIGLI FABRİKASI
AGT     $WERKS     2301     T     KAMLI DAMIZLIK
AGT     $WERKS     9601     T     PANAR DENIZ URETIM YERI
ADS     $VKORG     22     T     AA KİMYASALLAR
ADS     $VKORG     8001     T     İINSAAT BOYALARI
AGT     $VKORG     6500     T     DAMk St.Org
AGT     $VKORG     5400     T     PANAR St.Org.
I wish I'm clear enough..
I will be gald if someone answers me as soon as possible...
Thanks İn advance..

Hi,
Your ques is how to refer to a DDIC search help to refer to selection screen parameter ?
Am I right ?
If Yes, then in the interface IF_WD_SELECT_OPTIONS
method ADD_SELECTION_FIELD, ADD_PARAMETER_FIELD etc
have importing param like I_VALUE_HELP_TYPE and I_VALUE_HELP_ID, I_VALUE_HELP_MODE, I_VALUE_HELP_STRUCTURE
etc which may help you to link your create DDIC Search help to selection screen params.
this is just a clue from my side. I haven't tried it myself.
You can go to the where used list of this method and find some sample implementations which use these params.
Hope this helps.

Search help for PERNR select options in Webdynpro

Hi,
I am using the method: lv_r_helper_class->add_selection_field
and passing the value:
i_value_help_type            = if_wd_value_help_handler=>CO_PREFIX_SEARCHHELP
to get search help for pernr select option in the webdynpro application.
But can anyone please tell me what value i have to pass to
i_value_help_id              = ??

hi,
pass your search help name there so that your desired search help ll come there..
use this,
i_value_help_type            = if_wd_value_help_handler=>CO_PREFIX_SEARCHHELP
i_value_help_id              = 'SEARCHHELPNAME'
if you want standard SH means comment this stmt,
if you dont want SH means,
use tis,
i_value_help_type            = if_wd_value_help_handler=>CO_PREFIX_NONE
hope this helps,

Changing field labels

I need to change the description of three fields, VKBUR, VKGRP and BZIRK so that the terminolgy aligns iteself with our business processes.
I have used SE80 to modify the Data Elements descriptions, short, mid and long. I have registered the change through SAP.
The changes have been activated. Though the log reported that a number of tables could not be modified because the enhancement category for some obscure tables was missing. Most of the tables were adjusted.
Viewing transaction VA22 - Quotations the sales header screen has the correct new description for only one of the three fields! Why this should be one of three is a mystery.
I think that the structure DD04D is filled with the short, mid and long descriptions.
Any ideas?

Hi Nigel,
You can change field labels, in tx CMOD->Go to->Text Enhancements-> Keyword->Change.
Here you can enter the Data Element of the field you want to change the text, and the language. Also, you should look at the screen where the text field is. Because if the text has the attribute "Modify" to "F" (Fixed), you cannot modify this text.
Thanks
Warm Regards,
Mohammed Hussain.
