• 2 means that the target text has been defined as an abbreviation in the proposal pool and that a full text has been maintained.

• 12 means that the source and target texts have been defined as abbreviations in the proposal pool and that full texts have been maintained.

To display the full text or texts, click the appropriate number.

The Full Text for Abbreviation dialog box appears. If the full text was created as an application standard in the proposal pool, the system displays the component's two-character ID in front of the full text. The single-character ID displayed after the component provides information on the technical environment from which the text originates. R , for example, stands for R/3. If the abbreviation has been assigned to several full texts that were created as application standards in the proposal pool, the system displays one full text per component.
