Hi..,

In general the text table's name will be "T" attached as the last character for the actual table name...

Check TSTC table ... The text table for this is TSTCT

This Text table contains the Key same as the main table with an Extra field <b>Language</b> as key...

The contents of this table are the texts for the field values....

For example take a field value SE38 in the table TSTC....

The text for this is SBAP Editor !!! This text is maintained in the table TSTCT....

Hope u understood !!!

regards,

HI,

let say you have A table where Materila and material description are present in english and your user asked you to display in french,

so all the material descriptions are stored in different languages in the text table of that table..

hi,

i will expalin with ascenario ..

Table A is a text table of table B if the key of A comprises the key of B and an additional language key field (field of data type LANG). Table A may therefore contain explanatory text in several languages for each key entry of B.

To link the key entries with the text, text table A must be linked with table B using a foreign key.

check for ABAP_dictionary.pdf file ..you will find every thing abt text tables...
