Hello,

I guess you need to use a text in a context. So in transaction SFP, right side, form context you can add a text (dynamic, include etc.) where you can use standard SO10 with variables. There are some things you need to do to make this work:

1) the variable must exist in your form interface

2) in the SO10 transaction you need to use "add" button to add the variable, according to my experience text variables doesn´t work when ou just paste the variable name in the text, you must use this "add" button

To check if this work you can debug the ABAP code (before it reaches form context) and turn on the form trace (if the value makes it to the form).

Hope this helps, Otto

Hi,

To do so you need to use a so called floating field (found under "Insert -> Floating Field" in Designer). Later you can define a default binding for this floating field. Floating fields can be inserted into static text fields.

So you have to add a static text field. Place the cursor at the position inside the text where you need the floating field and then use the Designer menu to add the floating field. Later you define the binding for the floating field to the node in your data view which contains the details on the period.
