Label for Predefined Types

Former Member — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 13:49:16 GMT

Peace be Upon you All,

How can I make a Label (Field Label) for a Predefined Type ?

I was appending a Structure to a Table, to add a 'Text' Field with a 'String' type

so I added the field ZZTEXT with the predefined type 'STRING' and added a Description

but in the ALV Output, it had now label on top of it

I know that Field labels are stored for the Data Elements

but I don't want to use a data element 'Component Type'

SO, how can I add a field label to the Output without Creating a New Data Element ???

Thanks in advance

Hi,

When you build field catalog for your ALV,you can sepcify what label you want.

Example.

FORM buid_fieldcatalog.

CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE'

EXPORTING

i_program_name = sy-repid

i_internal_tabname = 'IT_ALV1'

i_inclname = sy-repid

CHANGING

ct_fieldcat = int_fcat[].

IF sy-subrc NE 0.

MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno

WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.

ENDIF.

LOOP AT int_fcat.

CASE int_fcat-fieldname.

WHEN 'XBLNR'.

int_fcat-reptext_ddic = 'Custom Label'.

int_fcat-seltext_s = ''Custom Label'.

int_fcat-seltext_m = 'Custom Label'.

int_fcat-seltext_l = ''Custom Label'.

ENCASE.

ENDLOOP.

Well, Thank you very much.

But I forgot to tell you that I'm in an Enhancement ..

so, I can just Append the Structure (SE11)

and Enter Code as an Enhancement .

Hi,

Could you provide the Enhancement the one which you are using for appending new field for which you want to change the Label text.

Thanks,
