Meaning of Text elements

Hi there,
when I display the text elements, there are some which I don't know the meaning of:
Example in my query:
Key date: 19.04.2007
Changed at: 19.04.2007
Status of data: 27.02.2007
Can you tell me what the difference of those three is?
Many thanks
Sabine

Hi Sabine,
You can read about all of them here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/f1/0a55abe09411d2acb90000e829fbfe/content.htm
Key date: The key date is the date for which time-dependent master data is selected. You determine the key date either in the query definition (query properties) or supply the value using a variable. If the key date has not been defined, then the system date is automatically made into the key date.
Changed on: This time tells you when the query definition was last changed.
Status of data: This is the point in time when data for the latest request that can be used for reporting was posted to the InfoProvider.
Hope this helps...

    Hi,
    Text Elements
    You can define text elements (window texts) for each window. On the Form: Request screen, choose Edit ® Text elements.
    The print program accesses text elements by name, formats them and prints them in the respective window. That is, the program can decide which text elements should be printed in a particular window. It calls these text elements by name to print them. You must therefore change text element names in the print program if you make any changes to text element names in a form.
    In the layout of a text element, you can use only the paragraph and character formats defined in the form.
    Example of a text element in an order confirmation:
    /E ITEM_LINE
    IL &VBDPA-POSNR&,,&VBDPA-MATNR&,,&VBDPA-ARKTX&
    / &'Customerarticlenumber 'VBDPA-IDNKD' '&&'Position
    / 'VBDPA-POSEX&
    This example shows a section of a main window of a form, with an item line of an order confirmation. The /E in the tag column is used to identify the text as a text element, ITEM_LINE is the name of the text element.
    Default Text Element
    At the start of a window, you can define a text element without the /E command in the paragraph format column. This text is always printed at the start of the window. It is not necessary to insert this text explicitly via a print program.

    Boxes:
    Use the following code
    /: BOX XPOS 1 MM YPOS 2 MM WIDTH 20 MM HEIGHT 40 MM FRAME 10 TW.
    Box is the command used for printing box in script.
    XPOS - x- axis position
    ypos - y axis position

  • Text Elements

    Hi,
    I have created a report in English language.
    I have translated the text elements of Selection screen to German.
    Original languge of the program is showing as EN.
    But when I login in to Italian language (Say any language where text elements are not translated), text elements of selection screen are displayed in GERMAN Language. But the original language of the report is ENGLISH. As no translation of text elements in italian, Selection screen text elements should be displayed in ENGLISH language.
    But here it is displaying as GERMAN Language.
    Why this is happening?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Shravan.

    Hello Shravan,
    There 2 Possiblities
    1. If the text elements on the selection screen are only translated in DE then it will always display it in DE as SAP treats if no lang translation found in that logon lang then it goes to DE Lang
    2. If for e.g, if you do not translate it in DE and then Logon in Italian then it will display in EN , I mean Only EN Language Maintained
        no translation at all then it will be seen in EN, but if you maintain it in DE then even if you logon in any other lang with no translation in that lang then it will be shown in DE only

  • Text Elements in BI 7

    Hi,
    We currently have a report in BW 3.5 which contains a text element which in turn displays the value of the variable that the user chose in the selection screen of a report.
    In BI 7.0 I have found the text item but when I try to display a variable it simply displays the name of the variable and not the contents.
    How could I display or at least retrieve the value the user selected in the selection screen? Are there any means of doing so via Javascript?
    Thanks in advance,
    Ale

    Hi Alessandro,
    Are you talking about displaying the user selected value in ouput of web template. If that's the case then u need not to go for javascript just follow below steps:
    1. Select Information field item present under advanced web items.
    2. Make following settings in it property:
    2.1  In internal display check 'Display Static Filter value' and 'Display Variables'.
    2.2  Provide a data provider to this item which contains this variable.
    2.3  In List of Text elements to Display option select: Static filter as your Text element,
    In the list of characterstic of static filter click the little button which will open a popup window from where you can select the variable to display.
    Make following settings and use the web item.
    Hope this solves your problem.
    Thanks !

  • Can anybody tell me how many text elements are there in sap scripts?

    hi all,
    can anybody tell me how many text elements are there in sap scripts?

    Hi,
    Do you mean that you want to know how many Text-elements are there in a specific Script or you want to know how many max Text-Elements a script can have?
    I believe there is no limit on this......
    To know all the Text Elements in a Script......goto SE71....press F4 Help on Script Name....Choose Last option for Custom developed Scripts.....and you can open the complete Script details & Code in a Line Editor...After that you can serach/look for the text elements

  • Not able to delete text elements.

    Hello
    I copied a z report from production server to development server by copying the code in se38.
    now system is no allowing me to delete a text element for parameter.
    SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK b4 with frame title text-012.
    PARAMETERS: P_YEAR  TYPE GJAHR OBLIGATORY DEFAULT 2014,       " Year
                 P_MONTH TYPE FCMNR AS LISTBOX  VISIBLE LENGTH 20 ,      " Month
                 P_COMP  TYPE BUKRS OBLIGATORY DEFAULT 1000.       " Company Code
    SELECT-OPTIONS S_PLANT FOR  vbrp-werks." Plant
                """PARAMETERS: P_FKART  AS CHECKBOX .             " Billing Document
    SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK b4.
    here my requirement is to disable PARAMETER : P_FKART and disable corresponding text element in system.
    i tried:
    1. deleting the text element row for p_fkart but it appears again when i save the text element.
    2.commenting the complete selection block and writing new selection block with text-012.system is taking same text element when i double click.
    thanks.

    Hi faizur,
    first of all: Programm changes are made in development system. not in produktion System. the transport oder is development system -> quality system -> production system.
    in your first statement above, you wrote
    "i tried commenting every line,which contains p_fkart.But system is not allowing me to activate the program."
    why shouldn't you be able to activate a programm when it is not caused by a syntax error?
    I mean deleting a selection-parameter from the selection-screen is basic stuff... as written above you normaly dont delete, you set it as "NO DISPLAY".
    when you got your programm activated again (and got rid of all the syntax errors you caused with the deletion) . Dont forget to activate the Text-Elements as well and it should work...
    regards

  • The main window of third page will not display the text element

    Hey, smartform guru,
    I am working on the smartform to print PO data.
    The smartform has first page and next page as usual.
    I created a third page P_TERMS to print the terms and conditions for PO printout.
    I used commend node to assign the page P_TERMS as the "Go to new page" and it did go to the P_TERMS page but the text element will not print in the main window in P_TERMS page.
    The text element will print in the secondary window.Since the terams and conditions are 4 pages long, I expected it to print in the main window, so I do not have to define several extra pages to print them.
    Any idea?
    Thanks in advance!
    Fisher Li

    Hi Fisher,
    Unfortunately, In a smartform, only single main window is continued to all pages even though you can declare windows under each page as main window, but it actually acts as the same window for all pages. It just means that if text from 1st page is overflowed, it will continue to the next page with main window.
    Command line to go to next page will create an extra page but since text is not flowed in main window, it won't print the text element you have included in main window on third page.
    The solution to your problem as I see is that either you include your terms and conditions in the main window of your first page and just before your text element for T&Cs, use Command to go to third page.
    Hope it helps.

  • Smartform problem with text element

    Hi,
    In smartforms text element, we have this variable; &V_TEXT2(L)&.
    My question is, what does the 'L' means there? what is it's purpose?
    when we pass on numeric values into it, it's converted to something else. It does not show the correct output.
    example:
    v_text2 = 6245183
    shown on the report is HEIS57YR18MO3 DY.
    thanks!

  • How to pass selection screen parameters in text elements?

    how to pass selection screen parameters in text elements?

    don't you mean he other way around. Assign text-elements (selection texts) to select options?
    This you do in the menu where you can find text-elements, selection texts.
    menu Goto->text elements->selection texts.

  • Why do we use include in sap script text element

    Hi SDNers,
    Why do we use include statement or what does that stands for in an text element of a sap script.
    Details with examples and explanation please
    Thanks & Regards,
    Ranjith N

    Hi Ranjith,
    Please go through this.
    &VBDPL-ARKTX&
    /: INCLUDE &VBDPL-TDNAME& OBJECT VBBP ID 0001
    If your include contains
    = arflebarflegloop
    and vbdpl-arktx contains 'myarticletext'.
    Then the output document will contain a line:
    myarticletext arflebarflegloop
    If the include contains
    arfelbarflegloop
    then the output document will contain the lines:
    myarticletext
    arflebarflegloop
    (Subject to whatever the prevailing paragraph format is - * means use current format).
    Think about what would happen if instead of having an include, you hardcoded the text of the include in your sapscript.
    I found this at http://www.sapfans.com/sapfans/forum/devel/messages/31158.html

  • It is possible to write abap programming lines in text element

    The lines on the DIO port respond to trhe MOMO (Must On, Must Off) protocol which is a tri state protocol. This allows each line on the DIO ports to be used individually. The lines, however, are by default static DIO which means that if you want to create a pulse train in them you must do it through a software routine where you change the states every time the set dio port momo call is executed. Another option is to use the PWM ouptut lines available on this port. You can use the lines specified as PWM outputs (check the 7344 hardware manual for this) so that in MAX you can generate a continous pulse train and then you can use NI-Motion's PWM fucntions to control the frequency and duty cycle of the train.

  • Directly creating text elements from eclipse

    Hi,
    I just came into the situation, that I'd like to translate some strings in my source code.
    The fastest solution in SAP GUI was to just double click on the string and create the corresponding text element.
    In eclipse I can navigate into existing text elements, but not create them.
    Now my question:
    Can I create those text elements right from eclipse?
    And if not (what I think is the case):
    Why?
    Because it is just not implemented yet, or because this way of translating text elements is obsolete and I missed something?
    Regards David

    Hi David,
    we want to provide this feature via the Quick Fix functionality in Eclipse.
    That means in future you can position the cursor on the Number and yyou press CTRL-1 (Quick Fix).
    In the upcoming popup you can choose 'Create Textelement' and the element will be created.
    This kind of functionality already exists for creating classes, methods or function modules directly from the usage position.
    We are currently working oin this little improvement so that I'm optimistic to ship this feature with one of the next versions.
    Regards,
    Thomas.

  • Text element issue

    hi,
    Hi,
    In a custom trasaction , I have text element . When I transport that text upper regions , I am not able to see in transaction.
    But I can see that text in the Text-symbols( Program->GOTO--> text-symbols)
    let me know any suggestions.
    thnks.

    HI,
    The text symbols are language depended. It means if you have only English version of the text symbols they will not be displayed for a user
    who works for example with DE log-on language. For translating the text symbols you have to use Goto->Translation in SE80 while you have opened the given program (not its include! just the main program...).
    When you transport program texts it always transports every languages defined. It is done by transporting of the object REPT. But when the program is just created then the transport will consist of object PROG and this includes the program texts automatically.
    I hope this helps...
    Cheers,
    Chandra Sekhar.
