hi all,

if i change the field value from "birth name" to "maiden name" dont u think we should make changes to every occurence of that field in all the tables structures,codes etc...... or is it automatically updated..

Hi all

I guess to change field text in infotype we need to go to screenpainter using se51 transaction, and select required screen using technical information of infotype 0002 and change field text name, it should work.

HI Hiren patel,

In the Field names for screens different from DDIC entry view (T588L), you can create your own key fields and long texts.

Hi,

what Ahmed has explained earlier is the easiest way to change, what version are you working on.

You can change the label and text by going into data element in SE11 ..say 'PAD_NAME2' >>Display>GOTO >Translation. then change text in every label. You might need to do the same (SE11>>Display>GOTO >Translation) for the domain of that field as well. It doesnt require access key. Its the translation of text from one language to other >>DE to EN.

Hi Ahmad

In goto- translation, i changed the proposal but it is not evident in PA30. Is there any activation process as well?

Hello Zubair,

Normally you changed the proposed translation, and then confirm the translation and activate. Thats it!

Hello Hiren;

This is the standard infotype it's better you change on screen or report is it's only one area where end-user will see it...

=== NOTE: You need a “access key” from SAP to change this Label and wherever this field label get use "New Change text will Appear"

Having said that you can change it;

T-CODE SE11

Change

Click of the Data-Element next to Field Name you wanted to change

Select TAB "field label"

& Change

Hope this will help

Regards,
