Former Member

HI All,

I'm new to abap query. I have to include a local field in the existing query. I know through SQ01->Edit->Local field we can display the Local fields, but the options under Local Fields menu option are disable even in change mode of Query.

So, later through SDN found that, I have to Switch On the short names menu option. Even the sub-options in Short Names are disabled.

Can any body please let me know how can we display the local fields to the change the formula and how can we create the new local fields in the existing qeury.

Hope I'm able to explain my issue clearly.

Thanks in advance.

You can create the local fields in the "Select Field" screen. (Third screen after "Title, Format" and "Select Field Group") This option is disabled on the other screens.<br />
