Manipulating textpool text outside ABAP

Hi all,

I have created an Ad Hoc Query and it displays the output in an ALV. I have a requirement to change the column headings in the ALV. I noticed these column headings come from the textpool. I know you can manipulate the textpool using ABAP but SAP won't allow me to change the code (standard) generated from the query. Does anyone know how I can change the column headings text. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanx.

Hi,

For any generated objects, please DO NOT change in object directly. In this case, please do changes in Infoset which could be accessed through transaction SQ02. For custom fields, you could make changes in Infoset. But for standard reference fields, headings will come from data elements and is not prefferable to change unless with proper justification. In this case, define custom fields with standard data types rather than references and maintain own headings.

Regards,
