Hi Babita,

You can change/Define short test if you defined your tables fields reference to a SAP standrd data element.

You can do it by defining your custom data element and referering to SAP standard domain.

As far as reference table are using for Qty and Currency. You can use same as your value table but you have to define the reference field in yout value table.

Ea: your value table : ZTAB has QTY field (ZTAB-BDMNG)

you have to define ZTAB-MEINS field and use this as a refrence table and field for Qty.

Hi ,

value table is different from reference table.

if you want to give the reference field then go to se11

and select the tab currency and quantity fields.

there you can assign ref table.

if you want to assign value table then it should be at domain level.

If you are referring to a standard data element, then the field's short description cannot be changed. You have to create your own data element at the least to have your own short description for the fields. If you just want to refer to a direct type like say type CHAR and LENGTH 10, then you can do that by clicking on the 'DIRECT TYPE' button above the table control in SE11. The you can enter your own description, but you will loose the value/check table feature. Best will be to create your own data element, refer to the standard domain.
