Definition

(Generic) field name from a Dictionary table or from the program.

In this field, you can specify any of the following:

  • the name of a table defined in the Dictionary
  • a (generic) name for table fields from the Dictionary (in the form "tabname-fieldname")
  • a (generic) name for fields which are defined in the program (report, module pool)

If you specify a table name and press the pushbutton Get from Dictionary, you see a list showing for each table field

  • an input/output template,
  • a short, medium and long field text
  • a header text
  • the field description

In each case, the list contains either one of the text types or the input/output field.
By preselecting, you can specify what is actually displayed. This process also determines the text type and whether an input/output field is to be copied to the screen.

If you do not want to display all the table fields, you can restrict the selection by making a generic entry.

If the table name is preceded by an asterisk "*", the table fields displayed for transfer have a similar prefix, e.g. *T100-SPRSL.

The pushbutton Get from program allows you to request input/output templates for program fields. From the set of fields globally defined in the program (module pool or report), the system gets all those that fit in the field 'Table/program fields'. To do this, it searches in the generated version of the program rather than the last saved version.

By pressing one of the above pushbuttons, you generate a list from which you can select templates or texts for transfer to the screen.

Examples:

  • Table/field name = LFB1 and pushbutton Get from Dictionary
    • gets all fields from the table LFB1
  • Table/field name = T100-S* and pushbutton Get from Dictionary
    • gets all fields beginning with 'S' from the table T100.
  • Table/field name = * and pushbutton Get from program
    • gets all fields from the program
  • Table/field name = ITAB-* and pushbutton Get from prorgam
    • gets all fields in the internal table ITAB from the program.
