hi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A field displayed on a page can be named with a field label.

You can choose an application-specific text that describes the field in greater detail as text for the label. If the field is an ABAP data object with a Dictionary reference, a suitable label can be determined from the corresponding elementary Dictionary type with method GET_FIELD_LABEL. In this way you can standardize the field label of fields with the same type of semantics

Short, Medium and Long Field Labels

Keywords of different lengths for identifying screen fields. Since the space available for such texts depends on the input template, you can define the text information in three different lengths.

A maximum length must be assigned for each field label. It is the upper limit for the lengths of all translations of the given text. The maximum length of the field label therefore should be somewhat longer than the given text in the original language.

This text is used as a column header when you output the contents of fields as a list in the Data Browser. It can also be assigned to a field in the Screen Painter.

A maximum length must also be assigned for the header. It is the upper limit for the lengths of all translations of the header. Choose the maximum length of the header to be somewhat longer than the given text in the original language. Also note that the header is often displayed above the corresponding column when preparing list output. The length of the header therefore should not exceed the length of the data element
