Screen on execution differs from its layout in se80

[divya_nayudu]

I have a TCODE, which on execution shows me a screen with few labels and textboxes. When I go to "System->Status" and find out the program name and screen number, and when i go in that following program and see that particular screen's layout, i see that the caption of the labels differ from that shown on the screen during execution. What does this mean? I am totally confused on this, as i need to work on the screen and do some modifications. Please enlighten me.

Hi,

If those fields are take from an SE11 structure, the description will be automatically taken from the Field Labe of the Data Element.

Take the field in SE11 table and double click on the element. You can see the field labes defined for different lengths. The system is taking these values in your scenario.

Hope this helps. Please reward points if helped.

Awesome...thats what it is... I just checked. Thanks. Now if i want to change the caption on the screen durnig execution, i will actually have to change the field label right?It would be no use changing the caption in the layout.

Hi,

There is another option also.

You can uncheck the option 'From Dictionary'(Type D) from the screen painter for that field and give a description as your own.

Please reward points if helpful.
