The initial screen appears.You can start the phrase search from here. During the search, all entries are linked with logic AND.

The system supports the language-dependent full-text phrase search in the Phrase code and Phrase text fields.

Search strings in language-dependent search fields are not converted by EH&S Native Language Support . Consequently, you can only enter search strings in languages that can be mapped using the active code page for the application server.

If the symbol for a generic search (*) is placed to the right of the search string in the Phrase text field, then only the first 132 characters of a phrase are searched for (Physician*for example).If not, a full-text search is run (Phys*ician*, for example, or *Physician*).

Enter the required data, insofar as it is known to you. The SAP system supports the search for any missing data as follows:

Right and left delimitation for phrase key with “*”, for example,*A15*

Generic search by right and left delimitation with*, for example,*First*for language-dependent texts

Placeholder in the middle of a key, for example,BC+EFstands forBCDRForBC1EF

Combination of search methods, for example,*1234+678*

The system does not differentiate between lowercase and uppercase letters during search runs.

The language field is set to the logon language. You can change it as required. If the phrase does not exist in the language for the search, it will be displayed in the language in which it was created.

Use the search functions under Restricting Criteria for Phrase Selection (see Phrase Search ).

Choose with the quick info text Hit List .

Result

In the hit list, the SAP system lists the phrases that correspond to the search criteria.

If the SAP system does not find the required phrase, you can enter new search criteria, or create the phrase yourself.
