Changing error message for mandatory field in me21n

[Former Member]

Hi,

We had made the field "Collective no." of the additional data tab of the me21n transaction mandatory.

We also change the name of that field to a custom name.

Now if the user doesn't enter text in that field we get the error "Please enter Collective no.".

I want to change the message to match our new field name.

I checked in T100 for that message, but it's not there.

Can anyone tell me from were that message come from, and how to change it.

Thanks

Finally someone in another part of the forum give the trick to double click the message to find the class and number, so I did it and modified the message.

Your idea will help me with other issues.

Thanks

Hello,

Tell us class and msg no so that we can find out coz it is pecular requirement.

I suggest do not make it mandotary and dont change to custom field - give information message, place the cursor in field so user get message when he dont enter any value.

yesterday we have discussed same we do not have any userexit - SAP direct modification required.

PAI of the SAPMEGUI 1229 and MEPO1229-SUBMI field it contains value of collection no so just write your code there.

Hi,

I don't know the class or number since I don't know where to look for that message.

You have a good idea, not make it mandatory, and trap the error myself in code.

I've already modified the SAP PAI of the screen 1229 to validate the SUBMI field so I'll try to implement an error if the field is empty.
