Field Headings Problem

[Former Member]

Hello, we have just upgraded to ECC 6.0 from 4.6B and we have noticed that when we look at bespoke tables in SE16 some of the headings appear as the name of the field and not the Label as is written in the short description on the table in SE11 - just wondering has anyone come across this before and/or similar.

I konow that we can switch the layout using -> Settings -> User Parameters but the problem is that when we switch to ALV Grid Display, we see that the headings display the field name, some of these tables are used in Queries (SQ01)

Thanks,

Conor.

Hi,

First give field labels in the data element level for the particular fields then you have to delete the existing table maintainence of that table and recreate it then it will display the field anme correct. if you have already given the field label then recreate the table maintainence.

Reward if usefull.

Hi Muthu,

The fields that have this problem are not based on a data Element but are Predefined Types - I have deleted the table maintenence and it did not work. When I switch to ALV Grid (from user settings -> user parameters) the field names appear instead of the short description.

Thanks,

Mathu,

I created data element rather than base the fields on predefined types and it worked - Thanks for your help on this. Points gone your way.

Thanks again.
