Hence in such a case, you can create some supplementary documentation for the data element and all screens and programs using the data element will be impacted. Including standard applications.</P><P></P><P>Hence all users will get the help on F1 which you need.</P><P></P><P>Cheers,</P><P>Aditya</P></BODY></HTML> Sat, 23 Feb 2008 17:09:29 GMT https://community.sap.com/t5/application-development-and-automation-discussions/supplimentary-documentation-on-data-element/m-p/3419695#M821341 Former Member 2008-02-23T17:09:29Z
