Webservice IDOC field descriptions

Hi All
I define a webservice using a idoc as the interface, but the descriptions of the fields is not generated in the wsdl file. Even if I import the wsdl file into PI the descriptions is not there. Is there a way to get the descriptions of the field in the wsdl file?
Regards

Hi,
Use this code:
data: it_dfies TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF dfies.
CALL FUNCTION 'CY_GET_FIELD'
        EXPORTING
          field               = "fieldname
          langu               = sy-langu
          tabname             = "tablename
        TABLES
          fieldtab            = it_dfies
        EXCEPTIONS
          internal_error      = 1
          no_texts_found      = 2
          table_has_no_fields = 3
          table_not_activ     = 4
          OTHERS              = 5.
it_dfies will contain all information about field fieldname from table tablename.

Display Long field Description in 2 lines in Header when using REUSE_ALV_HI

Hi,
I am using REUSE_ALV_HIERSEQ_LIST_DISPLAY .
I need to have 2 lines in the header to display long field descriptions like
Ex   Shipment Notification Idoc or Billing Document Cancel should appear as
Shipment Notification       Billing Document
Idoc                                        Cancel
Is there a way of doing this when calling the above ALV function?
Thanks
Prashant

Hi Prashanta ,
We can give headers in ALV using short/medium/long text.
And this comes in one line. You can use short/medium text, if possible.
Hence , having 2 lines in the header to display long field descriptions is not possible.
Hope this helps you.

Field Descriptions without TOP OF PAGE

Hi Experts,
I have one Z report and this was written somebody long back.
This report was normal standard report i.e just writing the table values to screen using WRITE statement.
Eventhogh there is no TOP OF PAGE event in the report, field names were displaying in the screen output with highlighted color.
As soon as WITE statement calling, program is displaying fieldnames automatically? how it possible?
Now, I modified my program by adding another field values to the screen output.
The field which I added it's not showing field name.
How can I display my field description to that output. (without adding TOP OF PAGE)
As I told you report doesn't have TOP OF PAGE event. Please help me.
Thanks
Raghu

Raghu,
I'm guessing that your report is organized in a tabular form and by field description you mean column headings. There are two ways to display column headings 1) by explicitely writing the WRITE statements to output to the column headings, 2) by maintaining the standard list & column headings. (in ABAP editor follow menu path GOTO>Text Elements>List Headings.
You can disable the display of standard headings by using addition in NO STANDARD PAGE HEADING as below.
REPORT YTEST NO STANDARD PAGE HEADING
              LINE-SIZE 120
              LINE-COUNT 65
              MESSAGE ZMSG.

English Version for field description in CO reports

Hi,
I am using a standard SAP report from CO -> example : S_ALR_87013599. However, when logon in English version, the fields description are not in English. Some other reports do not have this problem. When I logon in Chinese language, it is ok. The description will be in chinese.
Please advise how do I change the fields to English decriptions. And will it affect the chinese language after the change ?
Thanks.
Angel.

Hi,
Try imporitng the reports when you are log-on in English via OKD3 transaction. This should solve the problem...
Also check your GCRS (transaction) definitions

Multiple lines for field description in ALV

Hi ,
Is there any way to display the field description in multiple lines in ALV grid .
Regards,
Pradipta

Hi pradipta,
1. No its not possible.
2. At the most, we can set the WIDTH of the
column, to ACCOMODATE the field description.
3. We cannot do WRAP as u require.

Field description in selection screen

Hello,
Please help me by answering a silly question: what settings have to be done so that in the selection screen for a report the field description to appear instead of the technical field name?
Regards,
Ileana

If it is for a report (a custom developed one i.e. starting with Y* or Z*), the ABAP developer needs to do the setting.
(S)he needs to make the changes in SE38. Once in the ABAP Editor, Go To --> Text Elements --> Selection Texts and maintain the texts (and Activate).
If it is for SE16 (Table Display), then the reply by SAP Enjoy is correct.
If it is for a LIS (or any Information System) report, then the reply by PSantosh is correct.
Hope this helps,
Lakshman

Field description in roles

Hi All,
We are developing a custom application where we need to pull the field description e.g. ACTVT = Activity, BERGRU = Authorization group etc. I need to know how to link the technical name of the field to its description and get the output in a report (e.g as in report USR030 where the field description appears). Any pointers?
Many thanks
Vijaya

Sorry, I misread your question.
This is indeed a bit trickier because it depends of the field type of the authorization field. You can find this in table AUTHX, but as there are many you cannot reasonably do any download or joining of tables, but would need to do it programmatically.
See this thread for your options: Authorisation Field Texts - Where are they defined?
There is an easy way and a hard way
Cheers,
Julius

Are idoc fields case sensitive?

Hello, there has been an error during idoc processing. The trading partner field was filled in lowercase and this is bringing me error Message no. FB279 ' Company dp0017 is not defined'. The other idocs had DP0017 filled in and were processed fine.
Any input on this? thx.
Edited by: Antish Awootar on Jun 7, 2011 8:02 AM

Hi Antish,
It actually depends on the value that is stored in the IDOC, if the IDOC has company code in lower case then that is exactly how it will be used in the program for all purpose and no automatic conversion is applied. The below message is thrown in the FM - FI_COMPANY_CHECK This FM will look up the table T880 - If you check the entry in this table will be DP0017 and not dp0017. Hence it is throwing the error message.
If your question is it works fine when i try in SE37 with the FM "FI_COMPANY_CHECK" or if i input "dp0017" in WE19 or in SE11 against T880, then the reason for that is a conversion is applied automatically and it is changed to DP0017.
To answer your question "Are idoc fields case sensitive?", it depends on the context, does it retain the case when it is filled in, yes it does.
Regards,
Chen

How to map empty IDoc field

Hi everybody!
I want to map the value of a source field through a FixValues function to the target field. Unfortunately this is an IDoc field which sometimes doesn't even exist (i. e. it's not just empty - it's not even there). In this case the FixValues function suppresses the output, and there is no output - not even the default value of FixValues. However, the requirement is that I always have to generate a default output - even if the input field is empty/missing.
Ony ideas how this could be done?
Regards, Joerg

Hi Himadri!
Thanks for the quick response! I tried to create such a que. However, it doesn't remove the SUPPRESS from the queue. Here's the code:
// Two input params: src[] and def[]
// src contains the input queue (with SUPPRESS values)
// dst contains (hopefully) only one value - the default value
int n=src.length;
result.clear();
if (n==0) {
result.addValue(def[0]);
else {
for (int i=0; i<n; i++) {
 if (src.equals(ResultList.SUPPRESS)) {
 result.addValue(def[0]);
 else {
 result.addValue(src);
What am I doing wrong?
Regards, Joerg

How to map Idoc fields with external file

Hi All,
How to map Idoc fields with external file.
I want to check the settings where Idoc fields are mapped with external file.
Thanks in advance.

If you have configured a fileport where on trigger of IDOC you are creating the file, you can look at the message type documentation and get the offset values for each field in each segment

Field descriptions not showing in page layout

I have custom content types with custom fields. The field types vary - text, image, user and so forth. I am building an intranet so this is a publishing site with workflow and I am using custom page layouts with a custom master page.
The issue I have is that the field controls, whilst all having descriptions, rarely show the description in the custom page layout. They are all shown correctly in EditForm.aspx so I know that they are there. However when editing a page using a custom page
layout it seems that only UserField types show the description. Below is an extract from a page layout:
<SharePointWebControls:UserField FieldName="ContentOwner" runat="server"></SharePointWebControls:UserField>
<SharePointWebControls:TextField FieldName="ContentOwnerRemark" runat="server"></SharePointWebControls:TextField>
The first field ContentOwner shows the field description. The second does not. I have tried deleting and re-adding, making fields mandatory and optional, but to no avail. If it's not a UserField it doesn't show the description.

Showing names of Site Columns on a Page Layout
Thanks. That allows me to do this:
<SharePointWebControls:FieldProperty FieldName="ContentOwnerRemark" PropertyName="Description" runat="server" />
However the original question is why is it that the OOTB control only displays the description for UserField and not for other types of field in a custom page layout, whereas it shows all descriptions in EditForm.aspx. I could do what you have suggested but
it's a lot of work as I have many fields and custom page layouts, and it seems to me that having the OOTB field control on the page should display the description for all field types not just user field types.

To Handle Special Characters(Guideu0099 ) in MATMAS IDOC fields
