field label

[Former Member]

what is the actual use of field label tab in Data Element screen and what are the meaning of short, medium and heading there and what happen when we don't fill that things?

[Former Member]

The field label tab is the desciption which appears on various transactions, tables, views etc wherever the data element is used.

Depending on the display length at various places, the short or medium or long description gets displayed.

As you know Data Element is the main heart for any field in Data Dictionary. When ever we would like to display the heading of that field it will refer to its Data Element for its label. If you see in ALV reporting you can refer any of the above lables while populating standard ALV function modules' strucutres. If you do not fill them, you may not get the heading of the field.

If not undertood please let me know.

1. Label is used as Heading while creating report list in ABAP programming examples in ALV instead of using our won defined Label for Column Heading we can use existing Heading of a field from its label as Declared in Data Element

2. Short Label has a length of 10 Character only

3. Mmidium Label has a length of 20 Character only

4. Long Label has a length of 40 Character only.

When you use the data element in screens then the label will appear on the screen automatically...

Hi,

When the field is used in any screens then the field label text is displayed as descriptions for that field.
