Hi,

Better practice is that you should give all these options like small medium large and heading...

and take char as is..

small: 10

medium:15

large: 20

heading:25

its not standard but we used to use them..

and this descriptions is only shown while you create table maintenance generator.....to that perticuler fields header....

hope this would be help!

Please reward if solved!

Hi,

As well as the table maintenance generator, these texts also have the potential to be used in ALV reports and screen painter. Always a good idea to fill them all in.

IT WILL HELPFUL WHEN WE ARE TRYING TO DISPLAY THE FILED LABEL IN THE OUTPUT

IF YOU WANT LONG TEXT DESCRIPTION THEN YOU WILL USE THAT LONG OTHER WISE SHORT ETC..

No there won't any relation for filed length and meadium

filed length is constant

filed lable is used to display the filed description for output

Hi,

The purpose of Small , medium and large is that: If ur table has 19 fields and wen in debugger mode or anywhere else wen u r viewing this table then the small heading will appear in the field of the table ,.When you manually expand the length of the column the other headings medium and large will appear.
