Documentation
Definition
Specify a field name according to the ABAP/4 naming convention. For fields defined in the ABAP/4 Dictionary, specify the field name in the long form. The table name and the actual field name are linked by a '-'.
Template fields for input and output generally require a field name.
With field texts, the following acvtivities are connected with the field name:
- Translation of field texts without reference to the ABAP/4 Dictionary.
- Modification of the ABAP/4 program, possibly together with the template field of the same name.
- Documentation option in case of reference to the ABAP/4 Dictionary, using the field name.
A field name may be used on a screen only once for a field text and a template.
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.
The name of a subscreen area or a control can be up to 10 characters long and must be unique. The naming space reserved for this is separate from the naming space for other screen fields.
