Text Elements

[Former Member]

Hi ABA masters,

i have one zprogram.In that program i need to add one field in selection screen with specific description.

I added that field to selection screen.But in that selection field doesn't show field description,Just it displays the filed technical name only.

what i will do.

And I have one more doubt,that's can we maintain version management to program text symbols..........

Is it work or not.

Very urgent...

Thanks In advance.

Go to the report and in the menu option Goto, click on Text elements -> Selection texts. Maintain the field description there against your field name.

You can maintain versions for text symbols just like the way it is maintained for report source code.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

To add the text for the selection screen element,

In the ABAP Editor, Goto->Text Elements->Selection Text to add the text that you want to display.

Thanks To Naren,Anver,Prakash and all.

But i have been done like that only...

Still now also it displays technical name only....

In that program i wrote ''

SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF LINE.

SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT 10(20) TEXT-999

FOR FIELD PARM.

SELECT-OPTIONS: PARM LIKE SAPLANE-PLANETYPE.

SELECTION-SCREEN END OF LINE.

And i double click on text-999.And created on new text element.

Then when ever i was open TEXT ELEMENTS in <b>change mode</b>all previous text elements are deleted and its showing '?' icon in description area.

But in display mode all text elements are appear in normal.

Is there any problem and can i know how get all text elements as previous.

Please help me.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi,

If you have SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF LINE then the texts wont be displayed.

You have to maintain the texts in the comment field.

Add the text in the INITIALIZATION event.

SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF LINE.

SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT 10(20) comm

FOR FIELD PARM.

SELECT-OPTIONS: PARM FOR SAPLANE-PLANETYPE.

SELECTION-SCREEN END OF LINE.

INITIALIZATION.

comm = 'Your text'.

Check if the original language for the text elements is same as the logon language.

Hi

Do the below modifications and then check:

<b>TABLES: SAPLANE.</b>

SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF LINE.

SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT 10(20) TEXT-999

FOR FIELD PARM.

SELECT-OPTIONS: PARM <b>FOR</b> SAPLANE-PLANETYPE.

SELECTION-SCREEN END OF LINE.

Now double click on TEXT-999 and give the description. Save, activate and execute...

Ya Manoj i am already checked the original language is login language.

Ok Wenceslaus but it will displayin selection screen only,i want to field discrition display in out also...

Ok Ok Easwar thats not a problem i know that slect-options have 'for'.

that's sample code.

But i need to know how to recollect the deleted text elements....

[Former Member]

Do you mean, you have deleted an existing text-element and want to recover the same... I guess it is not possible unless you have moved the program to another server like QA or Prod.

Have you tried the <b>RETREIVE</b> option in version management of text elements???

Kind Regards

Eswar

[Former Member]

Yes Easwar...U correct...U understand my problem...

But that program is in Development only.....thats not moved in any other server like QS or PS.

But i didnt retrive textelements in version managment.

If i will do like that.

Can i get total text elements.

Thanks

Hi Subbu

Please try with program: <b>RSVRSTBA</b>. If it says only one version is available, then i am afraid there is no other go but you have to re-create manually...

Inputs to program RSVRSTBA:

1. Program name -> Program Name

2. Version type (REPS/REPT) -> REPT
