Field label is mainly useful in report, as a column heading

HI,

if we give the filed label then only it will display in output.

it' like header.

if u have not given field label.

then u will not know for which label u are entering the values.

hi srinath

if u give the field lable in table means its same like a discription...

Advantages

1 -> In ABAP porgram if your using screen u can easily get the label directly from

the table itself from using of field label.

2 -> In Maintanice View also it will u give u the Description ...

regards

You can assign text information to a data element with the field labels.

The field labels are used to display a screen field. You can copy structure components and table fields from the ABAP Dictionary to the input template when you define a screen in the Screen Painter (Get from Dict. function). You can also assign a field a field label that is derived from the data element of the field.

The text of the field label can be translated centrally with the translation tools. The text is then displayed in the input template in the user’s logon language.

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.

Short Field Label

Definition

One of the following:

- Short field label

- Medium field label

- Long field label

Can be assigned as prefixed text to a screen field referring to the ABAP Dictonary. The text is displayed on the screen in the logon language of the user (if the text was translated into this language).

A heading can be defined to output the field values in lists. This heading is automatically included in the list header row, in the logon language.

Medium Field Label

Definition

One of the following:

- Short field label

- Medium field label

- Long field label

Can be assigned as prefixed text to a screen field referring to the ABAP Dictonary. The text is displayed on the screen in the logon language of the user (if the text was translated into this language).

A heading can be defined to output the field values in lists. This heading is automatically included in the list header row, in the logon language.

hi srinath,

it's just to distinguish between columns.the data type char with length say 10 can be used again n again so to distinguish it as when it is used as vendor name customer name etc, we use field labels while creating a table.
