Determining Standard Titles

Description: The standard title is composed by the BDT in accordance with the SAP ergonomics guidelines. It comprises three parts:

If the application object uses the divisibility of the BDT and if exactly one object part is maintained, then the title of this object part forms the object title. However, if exactly one object part grouping is maintained, its title will be the object title. In all other cases (maintaining more than one object part/object part grouping or if the application object does not use the BDT’s divisibility) the title defined for the application object will be the object title.

The name of the activity forms the second part of the screen title. It is separated from the other two parts by a colon.

The title fixed when defining the screen forms the third part of the title.

Examples:

Event DTITL (Changing Screen Titles)

The standard title, generated automatically by the BDT, can still be changed by an application at runtime. This is done using event DTITL, which is processed for each screen’s PBO. Within this event, the application can:

Application area: All applications

Naming convention: <Application>_<Application object>_EVENT_DTITL

(Customer: Function module name has the prefix Y_ or Z_).

Interface:

C_TITLE_TOTAL Total title (Reference RSEU1-TIT_TEXT)

C_TITLE_OBJAP Title, application object-dependent part (Reference TBZ1T-OTITL)

C_TITLE_ACTVT Title, activity-dependent part (Reference TBZ0N-TXT30)

C_TITLE_SCREEN Title, screen-dependent part (Reference TBZ3B-DTITL9)

E_XTOTAL Indicator: Use total title (Reference BOOLE-BOOLE)

E_XCHANGED Indicator: Change made to title (Reference BOOLE-BOOLE)

Example: no example available as event rarely used

Action required:

Note: With this event, you can only change the title within the title bar of a screen, meaning that it is not possible to change the text within the screen selection in the initial screen. Each application determines the screen-dependent part of the title for its screens when the screens are defined (This screen-dependent part of the title is identical to the text in the screen selection).

If customers want to change the title of a screen supplied by SAP, they can do so using the tool for changing the screen layout/screen sequence (see Screen Layout , Customizing screen layout/screen sequence using Drag&Drop). This change then affects the screen title, screen selection and the tab strip text.
