Modifying Short Description In Table Definition

How Do Everyone!
I have managed to add a new field on the infotype 0006
screen (Addresses). The new field has been defined as
char 1. The short desciption on the table PA0006 for this
field as somehow been set to 'Single-character flag'.
I can't seem to naviagte to the description property. It
is all greyed out.
Can someone tell me how can I chnage this ???
Cheers
Andy

Hi Andy,
When you add an new field to the existing table, you have to create a data element. In the description for that data element, you can give whatever description you want.

Ravi

Finding tables with their short descriptions or finding short descriptions

Is there any Tcode at whose screen I can find the short explanation / description of the tables (for example short description for VBAK: Sales Document - Header Data). Also is there any Tcode at whose screen I can make search with keywords for finding the tables that I need.

Is there any Tcode at whose screen I can find the short explanation / description of the tables (for example short description for VBAK: Sales Document - Header Data).
Check the tables in T.Code SE11:

DD03L : FIELDS IN A TABLE.

Table Field Short Descriptions

If you go into the Repository Information System (SE83), then drill down to ABAP Dictionary->Fields->Table Fields, you are allowed to enter a table name to display its fields and short descriptions. I need to know what table the short descriptions are stored. I assumed it was DD03T, but I'm not able to locate most of my field descriptions for the MM module. Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Sheshu... The DD03M seems to be missing some positional data even though its viewable in SAP TCode ZSE16R.
Check this out as an example:
Look at table CSKS fields by using ZSE16R, then go to the choose fields option in the Settings>List Format menus. Then compare that to the data that is in DD03M.
Examples of missing fields form DD03M for table CSKS:
MANDT
PKZKP
VERAK
WAERS
Can you tell me why this data isn't present in the DD03M table?
Thanks

How to change the standard Fields short description in KNVV table

Hi All,
Our system is recently upgraded from 4.7 to ECC 6. When we compared both versions we found the KNVV table fields descriptions are changed in 4.7(customer modifications done in 4.7) and same these customer modifications are not copied to ECC 6 from 4.7 version.
So I tried to change the short description at domain level with the help of access key. But the description is not changed. Can you please let me know is there any procedure that how can we change the fields description for standard tables.

You need not use access key to change field labels

Here you can change all data element KNVGR1 to KVGR5

How to import the column short description for Datastore in ODI

Hi
I am loading AS400/DB2 table in to oracle db staging tables. These AS400 table has 70 to 80 columns each with short description. Using common format designer I am able to get the DDL for the oracle db so that I do not have manually type in the table definition.
1. But how do I get the each column short description into Datastore?
2. In oracle Datastore where does the COLUMN Comments appear?
Thanks
obieefan

in snp_table->table_desc column
comments cannot be reversed when using standard reverse.
for db2 400, I suppose you can use "RKM DB2 400", i can see it reverse table comment as below
select     DBXLFI     TABLE_NAME,
     DBXLFI     RES_NAME, /* DBXFIL for system name */
     case
          when      LOCATE('<%=snpRef.getModel("REV_ALIAS_LTRIM")%>' ,DBXLFI) <> 0
          then      SUBSTR( DBXLFI , LOCATE('<%=snpRef.getModel("REV_ALIAS_LTRIM")%>' ,DBXLFI) + CHAR_LENGTH('<%=snpRef.getModel("REV_ALIAS_LTRIM")%>') )
          else      SUBSTR(DBXLFI , 1 , 4)
     end     TABLE_ALIAS,
     case DBXATR
          when 'PF' then 'T'
          when 'TB' then 'T'
          when 'VW' then 'V'
     end     TABLE_TYPE,
     Trim(Substr( IfNull(Trim( Both From DBXTXT ), ' ')||' '||Ifnull(DBXREM, ' ') , 1 , 250)) TABLE_DESC,
     0     R_COUNT
from      QSYS.QADBXREF
where     DBXLIB     = '<%=snpRef.getModel("SCHEMA_NAME")%>'
and     DBXLFI     like '<%=snpRef.getModel("REV_OBJ_PATT")%>'
and     DBXATR     in ('PF' , 'TB' , 'VW')

Solaris 10 with Trusted Extensions - Security Audit Events [short] Descript

{color:#000000}I know that the security audit events and classes in Solaris 10 have changed when viewing these files: audit_class, audit_event, and audit_control with that of the same files for TSOL8. In order to perform an accurate and acceptable review of the audit events, I need to find either a file or document that provides a short description for each of the audit events within each audit class. Can anyone point me in the right direction or a URL? I have tried to search through the Sun docs and have not yielded any results. {color}

been there, done that
The problem is a function of your network definitions. The non-global zones do not have an IP address to match for your global zonename. The error message results from the system established default of the DISPLAY variable failing (DISPLAY=globalzonename:0.0).
To confirm this, login to the global zone as root and "zlogin -S" to the non-global zone. Once there, the command "netstat -r" should show the IP address of the global zone instead of the expected global zonename. (combine this with a look at your output for "ifconfig -a" within the same non-global zones) Another command you should fail with will be the "getent hosts galaxy". Anyway, if you manually set your DISPLAY variable to the "IP Address" of the globalzonename and execute a "dtterm" ... it should work fine.
If it does not violate a security policy, I suggest you add the IP address of the global zone to either the /etc/inet/hosts or /etc/inet/ipnodes file within each non-global zone.

SAP 6.0 - short description is changed

Hi All,
I use SAP system in French languague.
