The field label is used when you add a field to a dynpro (screen) in dialog programming.

Hi,

Field label will be used as Screen Labels when you add a filed of that type,

Also they become TABLE or ALV Column header when you put a filed of that type.

Also they will be used a ToolTip.

Hi,

In order for the label to come, especially if the field is rather small, you nee to have defined the field labels within the data element which is used. Does your field use a data element to define itself in the table definition? If so go to the data element and maintain the field labels for short medium and long and heading.

Hi

Data Element is the one which gives the meaningful description for the field

You can use the Std existing dataelements or user defined datalements if the description is not the criteria

Otherwise you have to create then explicitely with your own description

form Se11

enter dataelement name against DATA type field choose dataelent

create

Enter description

then enter Domain name and LABELS name for 10,15,20,25 char description/label for that field

save and activate

Hi Prakesh,

The field lable is used in Dynpro Screen, because whenever you create data element same as original table all the following fields will display automatically,

Data Type,Length, Decemal, ShortText.

When you use the same field name in Dynpro you can get current database value in that screen.

IF USEFULL GIVE REWARDED POINTS
