Label missing for select-option

Former Member — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 12:57:07 GMT

Hi,

In customizing someone added the field mard-zkober. There is also a program with a dynpro containing a select option of this type. Problem is, the label on the selection screen is showing "SO_ZKOBER" instead of the descriptions I added for the data element ZKOBER. I have no clue why they won't appear.

Thanks,

Philippe

In this list it shows the description from the data element correctly for SO_ZKOBER. Yet still nothing on the screen.

Hi ,

Check if the Dictonary ref. checkbox is selected if you are trying to get direct text from data element.

Else check if the text elements are in active status.

Ganesh.

Dictionary ref. is checked and text elements are active. It works for the other select options on the selection-screen but those aren't customized fields.

Hai,

Goto->textelements->selection texts->check the checkbox for the field which you want to display the description and press enter.

Note: Maintain the short description at data element level. This description is displayed on the screen.

This issue can happen if you logon in a language other than the original language in which the data element (and their field labels) are created in the data dictionary.

In SE16, go to data element labels table DD04T and give ROLLNAME = ZKOBER and execute, then DDLANGUAGE will give you the languages in which the data element labels are available. If the language available there is not same as the language you login, then the data element when assigned to SELECT-OPTIONS field will show without dictionary text even if referenced to dictionary type in text elements -> Selection texts

What you need to do to make the text available in your login language, go to CMOD -> Go to -> Text enhancements -> Key words -> Change -> Input Language and translated

Come to SE38 and open text elements, if it shows you the popup showing original and target language are different, choose the option to change the original language to target language.

This is a know technical problem in SAP, refer SAP Notes [336765|https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap%28bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==%29/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=336765] and [1303261|https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap%28bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==%29/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=1303261]

Hi Philippe,

in SE80 tree view there is a category called 'Inactive objects' and below by default your user name. Check all objects are active.

In your case, program, text elements of program data element and table or structure must not be in state 'inactive'.
