u have created the data element...in the short description give as <b>inspection method</b>...u have maintained field labels correctly....when u generate the table maintance, and check in SM30 it will show u the short description which is inspection method.....now, say ur field length is 10 chars...then it will show only <b>inspection</b>. to show fully, goto Environment~~>Modification~~>Maintenance Screens....here increase the field length output.

Go to SE11, ur table name and click on change ..now go to Utilities->Table maintenance Generator ,

there click on the single screen,it will take u to the screen code and then u have to click on button Layout(for screen) ..

here double cllick on the field label for which u want long text to be displayed,double clicking will open up Attribute window for tht field ,here in the Dict Tab u can see one option named Modify, give value as 3 there (fro long text)..

now it wil take long text of the field once saved n activated.

Hi Suneetha,

Increase the visible length of field which you have created in screen maintenance for table. go the layout of screen & increase the length of filed. supppose you have 17 characters in inspection method then make field length 18 or 20. It will show you the complete text.

Is above helpful?
