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.

Vinod

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.

Adding field in standard SAP transaction output results.

Hi,
I have to add a new field in standard SAP transaction output results.
Can any one tell me what are the ways (brief explanation) that I can do this?
If using exists - then what kind of exists I have to use? And how to find out the possibility with user exists?
Thanks for your time.
Thanks.
Chris.

Hi,
There are so many ways to find out the user exits.
Hi,
To see SAP Exits -> Use Tcode SMOD
To See create a project for Customer Exits -> Use Tcode CMOD
There are projects to which Exits are assigned. Selects the relevant projects.
What is User Exit:
http://www.sap-img.com/abap/what-is-user-exits.htm
How to find then:
http://www.sap-img.com/abap/a-short-tutorial-on-user-exits.htm
All Exits List:
http://www.easymarketplace.de/userexit.php
Do a search on SAP Exits, Customer Exits, enhancements, etc
Step 1 :- Execute transaction
step 2 :- Click on Status Menu
step 3 :- Double click on the program (screen) __?????___
Step 4 :- Search source code for the 'Customer-Function' string using the find button. Remember to select 'In main program'.
Step 5 :- A list of search results should be displayed indicating where all function exits can be found.
You can now double click on each of them to go to its position in the source code. This also
allows for the insertion of breakpoints so that you can test if the exits are called in the
appropriate place.
Step 6 :-Once you have found the Function Exit within the source code (Find Function Exit) you need to
access the actual function module it executes. This is done using the following steps:
Step 6.1 :-
Step 1
Locate desired 'Call Customer-function' statement within source code.
Step 2
If code is not within main program (module pool) e.g. SAP* then you will need to find this
out by selecting 'Main Program' from the 'GOTO' menu. The Main program for transaction
Step 3
The actual function module name can now be calculated based on the information retrieved,
it is defined by the following format:
EXIT_<Program name>_<Exit number>
eg :- 'EXIT_SAPLMR1M_004'.
Step 7.1:-
Once you have found the Exit function module
Step 1
Execute transaction CMOD
Step 2
Select 'SAP Enhancements' from the 'Utilities' menu.
Step 3
Select 'All selections' from the 'Edit' menu.
Step 4
Now populate the Component name field with the exit function module and press
the execute button.
Step 5
A list of all Exits(Enhancements) containing that function module should now be displayed.
Step 5
You can now double click on the desired exit to display a detailed description of its uses and a list of all
components contained in it.
Implementing Function Exit
This is required in-order to activate Function exit:
Step 1
The first step is to enter source code into function module in the usual way i.e. via SE37.
There will already be an include declaration within the code with the following
format: Include zx*.
Double click on this to create it, source code can then be entered within here.
Although it is good practice to create another include with this to store your
code, this allows separation of difference enhancements allowing them to be easlity
removed without de-activating the enhancement.
Step 2
Execute transaction CMOD and create new Enhancement. Enter name and press the create
Button.
Step 3
The following screen should be displayed, enter short text then click on the 'Enhancement
Step 4
Now enter the Exit name (enhancement) which contains the desired Function Exit.
Step 5
Return to initial screen of CMOD and press the activate icon. The exit is now ready for use.

How to pass variable value to field of standard sap transaction.

Hi Experts,
i want to pass the value of variable to field of standard sap transaction. but that field is not having the parameter ID. so please tell me how i pass the value to field.
thanks in advance.

You might like to provide a few more details of which field and transaction you are trying to interact with... typical solutions involve user exits / BAdIs / Enhancements, or transaction variants, or building a BDC to part fill the screens of the Tcode you are calling.

Hiding fields in standard SAP Transactions

Hi All,
We have a requirement to hide some fields in ME51n, ME21n, ME31k,ME11,MIGO,ML81n,MIRO
I know we have screen layout at doc level through which we can make the fields as optional, display and mandatory.
Please let me know the standard way to hide som of the not required fields in these transactions.
Thanks,
Vijay

Part of answer is in your question
For ME51N,ME21N,ME31K,ME11,MIGO configure document level screen settings
ML81N & MIRO using SHD0 transaction hide required fields.

How can i change the sequence of text element in standard driver program ?

Hi,
can u tell me how can i change the sequence of text element in standard sapscript driver program.. without making a zcopy of standard driver program.
My problem is when MEDRUCK form is getting printed for PO print , header text is coming before item. But the requirement is to come it after item.So how cani do that without making the zcopy of SAPLMEDRUCK program..Is there any enhancement point in SAPLMEDRUCK driver program..where i can put my customise code for changing the sequence of text element ?

Hi,
Just copy the MEDRUCK to ZMEDRUCK. No need to copy the driver program.
1) SE71Menu > Utilities > COpy from Client
MEDRUCK ->>Client 000
New formname ZMEDRUCK
2) Now open the ZMEDRUCK in DE language in SE71
3) Menu > Utilities > Convert original Language
Change DE to EN, save and activate
4) Now open the ZMEDRUCK in EN language
5) Goto Pagewindows > Main window,
Look for the HEADER text Text element, copy the whole code under this Text element just after the ITEM text Text element, and comment the HEADER text above.
Now the Header text Text element will be below ITEM text only. This will full fill your requirment.
Now goto NACE transaction and add the copied ZMEDRUCK to the EF application.

How can i change the column label text in a alv table display

how can i change the column label text in a alv table display??
A similar kinda of question was posted previuosly where the requirement was the label text was needed and following below code was given as solution :
* declare column, settings, header object
DATA: lr_column TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_column.
DATA: lr_column_settings TYPE REF TO if_salv_wd_column_settings.
DATA: lr_column_header type ref to CL_SALV_WD_COLUMN_HEADER.
get column by specifying column name.
lr_column = lr_column_settings->get_column( 'COLUMN_NAME1' ).
set Header Text as null
lr_column_header = lr_column->get_header( ).
lr_column_header->set_text( ' ' ).
My specific requirement is i have an input field on the screen and i want reflect that value as the column label for one of the column in the alv table. I have used he above code with slight modification in the MODIFYVIEW method of the view since it is a process after input. The component gets activated without any errors but while run time i get an error stating
"The following error text was processed in the system CDV : Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible."
i have checked in debugging and the error occured at the statement :
lr_column = lr_column_settings->get_column( 'CURRENT_YEAR' ).Please can you provide me an alternative for my requirement or correct me if i have done it wrong.
Thanks,
Suri

I found it myself how to do it. The error says that it is not able to find the reference object i.e it is asking us to refer to the table. The following piece of code will solve this problem. Have to implement this in WDDOMODIFYVIEW method of the view. This thing works comrades enjoy...
DATA : lr_cmp_usage TYPE REF TO if_wd_component_usage,
 lr_if_controller TYPE REF TO iwci_salv_wd_table,
 lr_cmdl TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_config_table,
 lr_col TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_column.
DATA : node_year TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node,
 elem_year TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element,
 stru_year TYPE if_alv_layout=>element_importing,
 item_year LIKE stru_year-i_current_year,

DATA: lr_column TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_column.
DATA: lr_column_header TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_column_header.
DATA: lr_column_settings TYPE REF TO if_salv_wd_column_settings.
Get the entered value from the input field of the screen
node_year = wd_context->get_child_node( name = 'IMPORTING_NODE' ).
elem_year = node_year->get_element( ).
elem_year->get_attribute(
 EXPORTING
 name = 'IMPORT_NODE-PARAMETER'
 IMPORTING
 value = L_IMPORT_PARAM ).
WRITE L_IMPORT_PARAM TO lf_string.
Get the reference of the table
lr_cmp_usage = wd_this->wd_cpuse_alv( ).
IF lr_cmp_usage->has_active_component( ) IS INITIAL.
 lr_cmp_usage->create_component( ).
ENDIF.
lr_if_controller = wd_this->wd_cpifc_alv( ).
lr_column_settings = lr_if_controller->get_model( ).
get column by specifying column name.
IF lr_column_settings IS BOUND.
 lr_column = lr_column_settings->get_column( 'COLUMN_NAME').
set Header Text as null
 lr_column_header = lr_column->get_header( ).
 lr_column_header->set_text( lf_string ).
endif.

Can we change the payscale group text in V_T510?

Hi All,
Can we change the Payscale Group text which is stored in V_T510 field TRFGR?
is there any other way that we can change them?
Regards
Rahul

Hi,
Yes if client want new description for the PS Group, you have to create new only and assign the wage types to them and so on..... you have to do all the configurations regarding the PS Group. Here the main point is be careful with the start date of the PS Group for newly created records and assignments.

I am unable to change the color of text in an email I replay to or compose. I am on 31.6.0 release of Thunderbird.

When I receive, reply or compose email. I no longer am able to see or change the color of text. I select to change the text from black to Red (or any other color) and the text just stays black, The color seletor box will show the last select color, but never actually changes the text color in an email. Also in received email, when the sender has indicated their replies to me are in another color, All the text only appears as black. I never had this problem in the past, not sure what has happened. I did restart Thunderbird with add-ons disabled and this did not change the problem.

Hello, maybe the question need to move by a moderator to thunderbird support ?

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Presenter/7.0/WS8815BC0A-5D22-4f29-87B9-D9047B5B57E4.html

Hi,
I have Adobe Presenter 7.0.5, in which with recently updating to 7.0.7 version.
When I tried the fix of this "Change the SWF loading text for a single presentation" workaround fix, I passed to have the error:ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property ADOBE_PRESENTER not found on Pool_P75.Resource.UIText
But before this error comes, I see that the loading text is changes from the original 2Adobe Presenter" to the one defined by me on the UIText, as the fix said.
And what's happen is that the scrren with the loading text is not being changed by the learning first slide....
Is there any workaround to correct that error?
Many thanks in advance for any feedback from the adobe support team or from any other colleagues that are using Adobe Presenter (;-)).

How do I change the colour of text in a cell in a JTable?

I am trying to change the color of the text in a single cell in a JTable. I have tried not adding a cell renderer and it changes the colour of text in all cells.
I have tried adding a cell renderer to the table and it does the same ie all cells text colour changes.
I am able to add a cell renderer to a column and it changes all the cells in the column.
I cannot figure out how to change just one single cell's text colour without effecting the other cells.

Ok, so if i create my own cell renderer do I set it as the default renderer for the whole table i.e.
table.setDefaultRenderer(MyCellRenderer, renderer);
Does this set one cell renderer for the whole table or is there an individual one for each cell?

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.
