Background documentationEvent AG: Instead of 'Get original' for Texts in Other Languages Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

This event occurs when the function 'Get original' runs. Language- dependent texts are fetched with their originals from the database. A different logic from in the standard can now run, for example to also process text fields which are not in the table/view, but are displayed on the maintenance screen.

Process

The standard routine VIM_READ_TEXTTAB_ENTRY can be a template for the realization of the individual routine.

The following global data are available:

The individual routine must update the text data for the currently selected entry in the internal table <VIM_TEXTTAB>, depending on the constant value of the processing flag:

  • ORIGINAL

    No action required

  • NEUER_EINTRAG

    The entry must be deleted from the internal table

  • UPDATE

    get the text data from the database and assign the constant value ORIGINAL to the processing flag.

The field symbol <VIM_EXTRACT_KEY> contains the key of the entität currently being processed. The field symbol <VIM_EXT_MKEY_BEFORE> must be used instead of <VIM_EXTRACT_KEY> for time-dependent entities with time-independent texts.

You only need to check whether there are texts for the entity key in one language. If no entry is found in the internal table hyperlink TX.SM30_EXIT_TEXTTAB <VIM_TEXTTAB>, there will not be any entriesin other languages either.

Note Note

Certain program statements must be inserted at the end of the routine, depending on the processing of the internal table <VIM_TEXTTAB>:
