Description

This report generates English default names for fields used in external BAPI structures. Enter the required structure/table.

The default names are determiend from:

• Data elements already used in BAPI interfaces (English default field names from the ABAP Dictionary)

• Rules for field names to avoid complications with select statements

• English short texts for the data element

All default names shown in upper case in the list are names already saved and these names must be used to maintain standardization.

Print out the list and agree the names with your translator.

3.0/3.1 Compatibility

If the functionality is to be implemented in a system with Release 3.0 or 3.1, field names hat are longer than 10 characters must not be used.

Creating Dfault Field Names

Create the selected field name in the ABAP Dictionary (Transaction SE11) for the data element.

Select the register 'Definition' and enter the name in the field 'Default field name'.

This assures that when the data element is used again, the same field name is also used.

Requirements

Output

The report returns a list of English default names for the specified table/structure.

The column 'field name' contains the field names from the table /structure. The column 'Default value' contains the English default name. If this name is in upper case, it is a name already defined in the associated data element of the table field. If this field name is in English, this name must be used. Otherwise discuss an appropriate name with your translator.

If the English default name is in lower case, it is a default name generated from the short text. In this case, you have to define the selected name as the default field name for the data element.

If the column 'Default value' contains an '?', no default value could be suggested.

The remaining columns contain deatails of the data element - structure, developer and short text.

All fields in which changes are required/recommended are in red typeface.

If you decide to change the name of a field, you should do this in the table/structure as well as in the data element.
