Procedure

  1. Log on to the SAP NetWeaver AS and start transaction SDOE_WB.

  2. Navigate to the required data object.

  3. Expand the required node structure and select a node.

  4. Under Generated Objects , choose the table name.

When a data object is generated, the system creates the CDS tables for each node of the data object. The fields in these tables are based on the node attributes that the application developer defines. These fields are named as C1, C2, C3, and so on. Therefore, when you view the table entries associated with a particular node, the field labels are displayed in the form of these short codes. You can view the field labels instead of the short codes. To do this, perform the following steps:

  1. Start transaction SE16.

  2. Choose SettingsUser Parameters .

  3. Under Keyword , select Field label .
