hi,

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.

Headers

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.

These field labels are visible when you go to see the table entries through SE11.After entering selection criteria you can see the entries.For these entries the column headings are displayed with this field level description.You explore standrd text elements.

Hi,

Field label in data element is used to display text i.e field description.

short : 10

medium : 15

long : 20

Heading : 10

Length signifies how much part of description will be displayed.

So its the field label that will be displayed during runtime i.e in table or program.

hope this answers your question.

plz reward if useful.

thanks,

Hi Friend,

In the data element properties we have a tab called field label. Here we maintain the Short, Medium and Long Descriptions.

The length is the maximum no. length allowed for that type(short, Medium,Long). U can enter only those many no. of characters.

A heading can be defined to 'output the field values in lists'.

Heading can be anything. It is displayed in the output.

This heading is automatically included in the list header row, in the logon language.

Hope this helps you.

Any queries, get back to me.

Regards,

Chandra Sekhar
