Finding Short Text for selected Data Element

Hi all,
I need to find the short description using a data element (technical name) as a search criteria, where you can use trxn SE12 to search for its short description.
e.g. KEY = 'Synchronization key'
SPRAS = 'Language Key'
VBELN = 'Sales and Distribution Document Number'
In my ABAP program, I have a list of data elements (technical name) but I want its short description to be displayed.
Can someone shed of light of how to achieve the above?
Thanks and regards,
Patrick

Field DDTEXT Table DD04T will return the short description of the data element. Also pass language 'E' in DDLANGUAGE field and data element name in ROLLNAME.
For short description use field: DDTEXT
For Short Field Label use field : SCRTEXT_S
For medium Field Label use field : SCRTEXT_M
For medium Field Label use field: SCRTEXT_L
For heading Use Filed: REPTEXT

sample ALV report:
tables:
marav. "Table MARA and table MAKT
Data to be displayed in ALV
Using the following syntax, REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE can auto-
matically determine the fieldstructure from this source program
Data:
begin of imat occurs 100,
matnr like marav-matnr, "Material number
maktx like marav-maktx, "Material short text
matkl like marav-matkl, "Material group (so you can test to make
                        " intermediate sums)
ntgew like marav-ntgew, "Net weight, numeric field (so you can test to
                        "make sums)
gewei like marav-gewei, "weight unit (just to be complete)
end of imat.
Other data needed
field to store report name
data i_repid like sy-repid.
field to check table length
data i_lines like sy-tabix.
Data for ALV display
TYPE-POOLS: SLIS.
data int_fcat type SLIS_T_FIELDCAT_ALV.
select-options:
s_matnr for marav-matnr matchcode object MAT1.
start-of-selection.
read data into table imat
select * from marav
into corresponding fields of table imat
where
matnr in s_matnr.
end-of-selection.
Now, we start with ALV
To use ALV, we need a DDIC-structure or a thing called Fieldcatalogue.
The fieldcatalouge can be generated by FUNCTION
'REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE' from an internal table from any
report source, including this report.
The only problem one might have is that the report and table names
need to be in capital letters. (I had it )
Store report name
i_repid = sy-repid.
Create Fieldcatalogue from internal table
CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE'
       EXPORTING
            I_PROGRAM_NAME         = sy-repid
            I_INTERNAL_TABNAME     = 'IMAT' "capital letters!
            I_INCLNAME             = sy-repid
       CHANGING
            CT_FIELDCAT            = int_fcat
       EXCEPTIONS
            INCONSISTENT_INTERFACE = 1
            PROGRAM_ERROR          = 2
            OTHERS                 = 3.
CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
       EXPORTING
            I_CALLBACK_PROGRAM       = i_repid
            I_STRUCTURE_NAME         = 'marav'
            I_DEFAULT                = 'X'
            I_SAVE                   = 'A'
       TABLES
            T_OUTTAB                 = imat.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
    WRITE: 'SY-SUBRC: ', SY-SUBRC .
ENDIF.
Hope this will help.

Wrong short text for sales order item

Hi guys,
I have an issue for the short text for sales order item. It is werid that I get the different short text depends on how we enter the material. If we only enter the material #, we get the short text for sales order item from material master data. If we enter the material #, plant and storage location, we get the short text for sales order item from customer material infor record. However, the customer material infor record is only maintained for inter-compnay transaction. System should not pick it for third-party transaction.
I found a code in FV45PFAP_VBAP_FUELLEN:
Bei Primärbedarfen ist MAAPV-ARKTX nicht relevant
    if vbak-vbtyp ne vbtyp_pbed.
      vbap-arktx = maapv-arktx.
    endif.
Kundenmatinfo hat höhere Priorität
    if knmt-postx ne space.
      vbap-arktx = knmt-postx.
    endif.
    if da_arktx ne space and
       svbap-tabix = 0 and
       vbapin-matnr = vbap-matnr.
      vbap-arktx = da_arktx.
    endif.
But it is nothing customized. Who can tell me what is wrong here?
Thanks,
DL

Hi,
Text coming from source (MMR, CMIR etc.) is being "pulled" via the access sequence. Check the Text analysis in your sales order in Tab Texts, at item category level.

What makes a field eligible for selecting data in a subreport?

Hello,
I have posted the following question to [StackOverflow|http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4366702/what-makes-a-field-eligible-for-selecting-data-in-a-subreport], but it has so far generated no replies. I decided to cross-post it here to see if I could get a better result.
The TL;DR of it is that I have a field which I should be able to link in my Subreport, but it does not appear, and I was wondering what I need to do to make it appear.
I have a Crystal Report I'm trying to recreate from scratch after an update from VS2008 to VS2010 caused it to implode horribly.
I've gotten most of the way through, but I'm at a stage where I'm linking a field in the Main Report to a corresponding field in the Subreport.
I have set up a bunch of Database fields in the Subreport, I've added the table I want, TableA, I've linked it up as everything was linked in the original report, with TableA at the head of the linking chain, so that all the rows I want can be derived from the result of that first query ( Actually, all of the links from the original Report were red in the Database Fields linking dialog, whereas mine are a bit rainbow-y. All the links in TableA are red, though... _ )
In the "Subreport Links" dialog, I have an integer which I know is being pulled from the database correctly. I've added it in the "Fields to link to" listbox, and selected the newly-created parameter in the "Subreport parameter to use" combobox. I've ticked the "Select data in subreport based on field" checkbox.
The database field I want to link to then does not appear in the second combobox.
Another integer field in TableA shows up fine in the "Select data..." combobox (and is linked to another field being passed in), so I don't know why these two integer fields, which are equally important, and exist on the same level, on the same table, are being treated differently by the report designed.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Here is what I'd do:
1) Download CR 2008 eval designer from here:
http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx
2) Try the linking in CR 2008 designer
3) If it does not work there, ask why not in the [CR design|SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio; forum.
4) If you get the linking working in the CR 200 designer, try to run the report in your VS2010 app (after ensuring the report woks as expected in CR 2008).
5) If (4) above works out for you, please let me know as this may be an issue with CRVS2010.

Report is by defualt picking up short text for variable selection screen.

Hi all,
Reports(WAD/BEX) by default pciks short text of the master data , i want it to pick long text ; any idea ?
Thanks ,
Madhav

Hi Madhav,
The BEx query setting made in infoobject can be overwritten by the settings made in the query .
You need to select Long Text in the query for that characteristic.
This setting will overwrite whatever is made in the info object level and so make will diplay the long text.
Hope it helps:)

How to use OTR short text for description of select options

Hi Experts,
Can some one guide me how to make the description of select option language independant.
Can't I use OTR text for description? if yes, how is that?
    WD_THIS->M_HANDLER->ADD_SELECTION_FIELD(
    I_ID          = 'SEL_OPEN_LINES'
    IT_RESULT     = LT_RANGE_TABLE
    I_AS_CHECKBOX = ABAP_TRUE
    I_READ_ONLY   = L_READ_ONLY
    I_DESCRIPTION = 'Select Open Lines' ).
how can i pass OTR text for the string type I_DESRIPTION export parameter of ADD_SELECTION_FIELD method?
or is there any other way of doing this.
Any clue is highly appreciated. Thanks.
Regards,
Ajay

Hi,
Try this out -
Use cl_wd_utilities=>GET_OTR_TEXT_BY_ALIAS get the alias text into a string and pass this string variable to the I_DESCRIPTION.
DATA:
lv_str type string.
CALL METHOD cl_wd_utilities=>get_otr_text_by_alias
   EXPORTING
     alias      = 'ZPKG/header'
     language   = sy-langu
   RECEIVING
     alias_text = lv_str.
WD_THIS->M_HANDLER->ADD_SELECTION_FIELD(
    I_ID          = 'SEL_OPEN_LINES'
    IT_RESULT     = LT_RANGE_TABLE
    I_AS_CHECKBOX = ABAP_TRUE
    I_READ_ONLY   = L_READ_ONLY
    I_DESCRIPTION = lv_str ).
