Copying a Data Element and changing its Description

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am creating a Search Help for a ZTable.

Fields in ZTABLE are

AA CHAR 10

BB CHAR 18

CC CHAR 18.

Now, while defining Search Help, I need to give the data-element of these fields which are included in my Search Help.

Since, there are many data-element with Char 10 and 18. If I use any of them, then while executing the search help, the Description/Heading in the Search Help appears as it is defined in the data-element.

Is there any way, that I copy the data-element and change the Description.

or I need to create a new data element.

Regards,

Priyanka.
