Go to the report and in the menu option Goto, click on Text elements -> Selection texts. Maintain the field description there against your field name.

You can maintain versions for text symbols just like the way it is maintained for report source code.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

To add the text for the selection screen element,

In the ABAP Editor, Goto->Text Elements->Selection Text to add the text that you want to display.

SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF LINE.

SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT 10(20) TEXT-999

FOR FIELD PARM.

SELECT-OPTIONS: PARM LIKE SAPLANE-PLANETYPE.

SELECTION-SCREEN END OF LINE.

And i double click on text-999.And created on new text element.

Then when ever i was open TEXT ELEMENTS in change modeall previous text elements are deleted and its showing '?' icon in description area.

Hi,

If you have SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF LINE then the texts wont be displayed.

You have to maintain the texts in the comment field.

Add the text in the INITIALIZATION event.

SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF LINE.

SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT 10(20) comm

FOR FIELD PARM.

SELECT-OPTIONS: PARM FOR SAPLANE-PLANETYPE.

SELECTION-SCREEN END OF LINE.

INITIALIZATION.

comm = 'Your text'.

Check if the original language for the text elements is same as the logon language.

Do the below modifications and then check:

TABLES: SAPLANE.

SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF LINE.

SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT 10(20) TEXT-999

FOR FIELD PARM.

SELECT-OPTIONS: PARM FOR SAPLANE-PLANETYPE.

SELECTION-SCREEN END OF LINE.

Now double click on TEXT-999 and give the description. Save, activate and execute...

Ok Ok Easwar thats not a problem i know that slect-options have 'for'.

But i need to know how to recollect the deleted text elements....

Re: Text Elements

Former Member — Mon, 22 Jan 2007 09:03:15 GMT

Do you mean, you have deleted an existing text-element and want to recover the same... I guess it is not possible unless you have moved the program to another server like QA or Prod.

Have you tried the RETREIVE option in version management of text elements???

Kind Regards

Eswar

Re: Text Elements

Former Member — Mon, 22 Jan 2007 09:46:20 GMT

Yes Easwar...U correct...U understand my problem...

But that program is in Development only.....thats not moved in any other server like QS or PS.

But i didnt retrive textelements in version managment.

Hi Subbu

Please try with program: RSVRSTBA. If it says only one version is available, then i am afraid there is no other go but you have to re-create manually...

Inputs to program RSVRSTBA:

1. Program name -> Program Name

2. Version type (REPS/REPT) -> REPT
