Fields in tables

[Former Member]

Hi,

It would be great if some one can help on this issue.

In some of the tables i have observed that the number of fields during the display and table fields are different.

Ex: table:T591A. (which is having 5 fields including client but during display it has total 6 fields).

Can you suggest wht would be the reason for the same.

Thanks

Hi

The 6th field u're seeing is the description: this field is automatically got if the table has an own text table.

The table T591A has the table T591S as text table.

In SE11 go to: Go to->Text table

1.Texts can be maintained in the same table itself,but description will be available in only one language.

2.Text tables will have language key(primary) to maintain description in many languages.and it will show the default language description when u execute the table via se16... say (T591A).

Hi,

For all Master Tables, there will Text tables which holds the description in many languages, the Text table has SPRAS field, so according to language taken it gets the description for any particular record.

Hi

SAP is multi-language: if you insert the description in the same master table, it can't translate it.

If you check the text table, this table has the language as key field: in this way u can store different descriptions for all languages set in your system: for example 1 for english, 1 for italian,......

When u run trx SE16 for master table the system shows the description field too and it gets the record of logon langauge.
