Tips
& Tricks
  • If you want to replace a field name throughout the entire SAP system, you can do it by means of the SAP repository or with the command GlobalTextReplace.
  • If you want to display a text in a more esthetic way, you can use the Image command or you can use the View command for the display of an html file or an rtf text (e.g. as produced in Microsoft Word) .
  • If you want to put additional text on an image use the command Image with the option Textstring= . See "Dynamic Text Output"
