What is Field Label ? and  where do we use it .

Hi,
You can assign text information to a data element with the field labels.
The field labels are used to display a screen field. You can copy structure components and table fields from the ABAP Dictionary to the input template when you define a screen in the Screen Painter (Get from Dict. function). You can also assign a field a field label that is derived from the data element of the field.
The text of the field label can be translated centrally with the translation tools. The text is then displayed in the input template in the user’s logon language.
Short, Medium and Long Field Labels
Keywords of different lengths for identifying screen fields. Since the space available for such texts depends on the input template, you can define the text information in three different lengths.
A maximum length must be assigned for each field label. It is the upper limit for the lengths of all translations of the given text. The maximum length of the field label therefore should be somewhat longer than the given text in the original language.
Headers
This text is used as a column header when you output the contents of fields as a list in the Data Browser. It can also be assigned to a field in the Screen Painter.
A maximum length must also be assigned for the header. It is the upper limit for the lengths of all translations of the header. Choose the maximum length of the header to be somewhat longer than the given text in the original language. Also note that the header is often displayed above the corresponding column when preparing list output. The length of the header therefore should not exceed the length of the data element.
Short Field Label
Definition
One of the following:
- Short field label
- Medium field label
- Long field label
Can be assigned as prefixed text to a screen field referring to the ABAP Dictonary. The text is displayed on the screen in the logon language of the user (if the text was translated into this language).
A heading can be defined to output the field values in lists. This heading is automatically included in the list header row, in the logon language.
Medium Field Label
Definition
One of the following:
- Short field label
- Medium field label
- Long field label
Can be assigned as prefixed text to a screen field referring to the ABAP Dictonary. The text is displayed on the screen in the logon language of the user (if the text was translated into this language).
A heading can be defined to output the field values in lists. This heading is automatically included in the list header row, in the logon language.
Long Field Label
Definition

    I'm trying to set up my purchase account, but it keeps asking me about an iTunes code I have to feel  in but I don't know what is that code and where do I get it?

    THe iTunes gift code is an optional field, you don't have to fill it in - gift cards are an alternative method of paying for iTunes content, but as they are not available inall countries (and they are country-specific, they can only be used in the country in which they were issued), you may not be able to fill it in anyway. If they are available in your country then you might be able to buy cards from Apple, supermarkets, electrical stores etc
    If you have a credit card then you can use that as your payment method instead. Otherwise there are instrutions on this page for how to create a new account without giving a credit card number (it won't with existing, or partially created, accounts) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534

    Hi,
    Table pools are special table types in the ABAP Dictionary. The data from several different tables can be stored together in a table pool or table cluster. Tables assigned to a table pool or table cluster are referred to as pooled tables or cluster tables.
    This table are similar to the CLUSTER table types but these work on "LINEAR SEARCH" while CLUSTER TABLE uses "BINARY SEARCH to retrieve the data from the various tables and thsi is mainly used in the logical databases "LDB's" used in HR or ABAP-HR.
    A table in the database in which all records from the pooled tables assigned to the table pool are stored corresponds to a table pool.
    The definition of a pool consists essentially of two key fields (Tabname and Varkey) and a long argument field (Vardata).
    Table Clusters Several logical data records from different cluster tables can be stored together in one physical 
    record in a table cluster.
    A cluster key consists of a series of freely definable key fields and a field (Pageno) for distinguishing continuation records. A cluster also contains a long field (Vardata) that contains the contents of the data fields of the cluster tables for this key. If the data does not fit into the long field, continuation records are created. Control information on the structure of the data string is still written at the beginning of the Vardata field.

  • What is difference between sy-index and sy-tabix and where both are using ?

    what is difference between sy-index and sy-tabix and where both are using ?

    hi nagaraju
    sy-tabix is in Internal table, current line index. So it can only be used while looping at the internal table.
    sy-index is in Loops, number of current pass. This you can use in other loop statements also (like do-enddo loop, while-endwhile)
    SY-INDEX is a counter for following loops: do...enddo, while..endwhile
    SY-TABIX is a counter for LOOP...ENDLOOP, READ TABLE...
    Here is an example from which you can understand the difference between sy-tabix and sy-index.
    Itab is an internal table with the following data in it.
    id Name
    198 XYZ
    475 ABC
    545 PQR.
    loop at itab where id > 300.
    write :/ itab-id, itab-name , sy-tabix, sy-index.
    endloop.
    My output will be :
    475 ABC 2 1
    545 PQR 3 2
    Sy-tabix is the index of the record in internal table.
    sy-index gives the no of times of loop passes.
    So, for the first record in the output (475 ABC), 2 is the index of the record in internal table and as it is first time loop pass occured, sy-index value is 1.

  • Services Registry in PI 7.1 - What is this and where is it used?

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me what is Services Registry in PI 7.1 ? What featuers are available in it and where is it used or how its helpful?
    I dont have access to it in my system, so am curious to know the contents of it!!
    Do we define global data types by any chance in the Services Registry ?
    Cheers,
    S

    Hi,
    What is Service Registry?
    Definition: Service Registry is a registry for Webservices that is located centrally within an SOA landscape.  In simple words u201Cwhere are our services implemented?u201D can be identified by using Service Registry.
    PI 7.1 contains a UDDI v.3 compliant Service Registry contains information about services provided in that landscape with references to the WSDL metadata relevant for those services and to the locations of the callable service endpoints.
    How the Service Registry used in PI?
    1.     As a Webservice provider we can publish Webservice.
    2.     As a Webservice consumer we can search for and find Webservices for consumption.
    3.     We can test our Webservices.
    4.     Manage third party Webservices and classify them to provide them for consumption in our system landscape.
    5.     Providing Deployment information (i.e End point information).
    Enterprise Services Repository (ESR):
    To support strategic service oriented approach SAP provides a new Enterprise Service Repository. ESR is a central repository of information that contains all the services. ESR is a container, stores all the underlying Meta data of application objects like service interfaces and descriptions. The global data types, interfaces and business processes maintained in Enterprise service repository which can be reuse where needed. The first implementation of ESR and its associated editors come in SAP Netweaver04u2019s, which has been evolved from NetWeaver Exchange Infrastructure Integration Repository. Enterprise service repository is a design time repository of service objects for ESA. You can model all service design objects for a process and can reuse the data types and service objects which are already maintained. All enterprise services are published in a central Enterprise service repository so they can be used by anybody who really needs that service includes customers and partners.
    The Enterprise Service Repository is the evolution of what it was known as the Integration Repository in XI.  Now the Integration Repository is called the ESR and XI is called PI.  Using the Integration Repository as foundation for the ESR made a lot of sense since many of the capabilities were already there: metadata storage, defining message types, data types, operations, etc.
         ESR is just like Integration Repository for XI.  Here you can design/define your Service Interfaces and Enterprise Services.
         ESR is the central repository in which Service Interfaces and Enterprise Services are modeled centrally and their metadata is stored.
         In simple words u201CWhat does the service do and what does it need?u201D can be answered from ESR.
         ESR is used for: -
    1.     Definition of Processes and Services
    2.     Store Service Metadata
    3.     Central Modeling and Design Environment.
    Global Data Types
         Definition: Global Data Types are company-wide, defined data types based on international standards.  They are based on the SAP methodology and are defined in a standards-based way in the ESR.
         They are based on the ISO 15000-5 and UN/CEFACT CCTS standards and act as the semantic building blocks for service interfaces.
         Global Data Types help you in standardizing service definitions across your organization and provide the key building blocks that can be reused across all your service definitions.
         Global Data Types have been approved SAP-wide by the Governance Process for Business Content.
         Global Data Types have been defined in the ESR and are described by XML schema.
    Thanks,

    If the code you are trying to enter has letters then you are not looking at a serial number.  A serial number only contains numbers - 6 sets of 4 numbers.

  • Have Sony HDTV bought in 2003;the video in/out thingy doesn't fit the apple tv prong.  What can I buy and where to modify so I can plug in Apple HDMI cable?

    I have a 2002 Sony HDTV "ready" tv and am trying to hook up Apple TV2.  On the back of the tv, the connection point where the HDMI cable goes in does not match the Apple connection HDMI cable.  I'm guessing that I need some sort of connector that goes into the tv at one end and that will accept the Apple tv 30-pin HDMI cable  Is there such a thing?  What's it called and where can I buy it?  Thanks,

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The Apple TV specifications state clearly that a TV with HDMI connection is required. DVI is not necessarily going to work as a number of people have found out, although many others have been able to get it to work.
    A DVI cable may perform the same function as an HDMI cable for passing video signals but the hardware cards that it plugs into at each end may not.

  • Saving a Pages document: when I first save a pages document it saves and I don't know where it goes or what its name is.  I want to be asked every time I save a pages document what to name it and where to save it. How do I set this preference?

    Saving a Pages document: when I first save a pages document it saves and I don't know where it goes or what its name is.  I want to be asked every time I save a pages document what to name it and where to save it. How do I set this preference?

    I'll guess that you've used a page layout document & pasting created a text box. You can add more pages & create linked text boxes, but I think you'd be better of using a word processing document. In word processing documents there is a basic text layer & additional pages will be created as needed to fit the text. Take a look at the toolbar of your document. If it says "sections" for the +page icon it's a word processing document, if it says "pages" it's a page layout document.

  • What is account key and where do i define them?

    hello,
    what is account key and where do i define them? which transaction?
    Thanks

    Hai Shilpa,
    1) You can create Account Keys in OBCN t.code this is used for Tax Procedure purpose
    2) Secnond one is the u can create in FI-SD integration purpose
    You define your account keys in this menu option and allocate them to the condition types in the pricing procedures.With the account keys, you group together similar accounts in financial accounting. Using the account key, the SAP System finds the desired G/L accounts.This way you can allocate a separate account key to each condition type within a pricing procedure to implement detailed revenue account determination.For example, you can allocate a freight condition to a freight revenue account, or a surcharge for packaging costs to a corresponding account for packaging revenues.
    u2022ERF freight revenues
    u2022ERL revenues
    u2022ERS sales deductions
    u2022EVV cash settlement
    u2022MWS sales tax
    SPRO u2192 REF IMG u2192 Sales and Distribution u2192 Basic Functions u2192 Account Assignment/Costing  u2192  Revenue Account Determination  u2192 Define and Assign Account Keys

    Field symbols: are placeholders or symbolic names for other fields. They do not physically reserve space for a field, but point to its contents. A field symbol cam point to any data object. The data object to which a field symbol points is assigned to it after it has been declared in the program.
    Whenever you address a field symbol in a program, you are addressing the field that is assigned to the field symbol. After successful assignment, there is no difference in ABAP whether you reference the field symbol or the field itself. You must assign a field to each field symbol before you can address the latter in programs.
    Field Groups:
    A field group is a user-defined grouping of characteristics and basic key figures from the EC-EIS or EC-BP field catalog.
    Use
    The field catalog contains the fields that are used in the aspects. As the number of fields grows, the field catalog becomes very large and unclear. To simplify maintenance of the aspects, you can group fields in a field group. You can group the fields as you wish, for example, by subject area or responsibility area. A field may be included in several field groups.
    When maintaining the data structure of an aspect, you can select the field group that contains the relevant characteristics and basic key figures. This way you limit the number of fields offered.
    A field group combines several existing fields together under one name
    like
    FIELD-GROUPS: fg.
    then you can use one insert statement to insert values in fields of field-group.
    INSERT f1 f2 ... INTO fg.
    Field symbols
    If u have experience with 'C', then understand this to be similar to a pointer.
    It is used to reference another variable dynamically. So this field symbol will simply point to some other variable. and this pointer can be changed at runtime.
    FIELD-SYMBOLS <FS>.
    DATA FIELD VALUE 'X'.
    ASSIGN FIELD TO <FS>.
    WRITE <FS>.

  • What is pricing scale and where do we maintain pricing scale?

    Dear Gurus,
    what is pricing scale and where do we maintain pricing scale?
    Thanks..

    Hi Bidhu,
    Scales are used in pricing when there is different price at different quantity. Scaled prices are maintained like:
    From   1 pc - 100.00 EUR
    from  50 pc -  90.00 EUR
    from 100 pc -  80.00 EUR
    Now for qty 1 to 49, price would be taken as 100 EUR. where as for 50 to 99, it would be 90 EUR. Similarily price for any qty above 99 (mean >=100) price would be 80 EUR.
    You can use scales in any document where pricing can be maintained. SD and MM behave same as scales if functionlity of SD and MM also used that.
    If price date determination is done as the time of GR, GR qty will be used to determine the price scale. But if price date category is document, document qty (like PO qty) would be used to determine the correct price scale.
    Hope this helps you.
