Hi,

Can any one tell me whats the difference between mseg and *mseg.

I am trying to add few more fields in goods issue form WASCHEIN like KOSTL and SAKTO but i am not getting the values and i am not even able to debug the form. Can any one suggest on this.

Thanks.

Additionally there is a seeting "*Entry" in screen painter . See F1 help on this

<b>A field name preceded by a * can be entered for an identical Dictionary reference.

Since field texts and templates with identical names must be located in the same loop, you cannot have a template in the loop and a field text as the column heading outside the loop. Here, you should use a field with the same name preceded by a * as the column heading. You can get texts and documentation using the same reference to the ABAP/4 Dictionary.

If you specify a field name defined in the ABAP/4 Dictionary, you have to specify whether you want to create a link to the Dictionary. If so, the system copies all the attributes as far as possible. Otherwise, it treats the field as if it were not a Dictionary field.</b>
