How to change the description of headed in APD

Former Member

Hi Experts,

I have created an APD from SAP BEX query.In the output of APD the header is coming with the technical names of Infoobjects.

Can I edit the technical name of those fields with description?

Please share the ABAP Code to change the techical name to custom Description.

Thanks In advance.

Regards,

Rakesh

Hi Rakesh,

The technical names are nothing but the Enterprise IDs of the elements in the query. Open the BEx query,click on properties of any field-->Extended-->Enterprise ID. Crosscheck this enterprise ID with every field in APD transformation and map with correct field.

Hope it helps.

Hi,

Are you sending the BEx query data to CSV file through APD? If yes, then after the transformation, write a ABAP routine (ABAP routine type in APD) and check the source package data. I think it should contain the header fields as the first record. Now you can check the metadata for infoobjects and substitue the technical name with the description. Let me know if the header doesn't come in the source package. We can do a workaround.

Hi Rakesh,

You have some option at BEX level in infoobjects properties.

Choose option diplay as text instead of key for the concerned infoojects.

Hope it helps.
