You can adapt the long text editor so that it meets your specific requirements by maintaining settings for the long text editor. We recommend that you use the standard settings.

Features

To maintain the long text editor settings, access the initial screen of transaction SE63, choose   Utilities   Settings  , and then click on the Long Text Editor tab page. You can maintain the following long text editor settings:

  • View: Line Numbering

    If you select this checkbox, line numbers are displayed for the source and target texts on the left side of the split screen editor. This can be useful whenever you need to find a specific part of a text. This checkbox is selected in the standard setting.

  • View: Lined

    If you select this checkbox, the source and target texts are displayed in the split screen editor as if they were on lined paper. This checkbox is selected in the standard setting.

  • Technical Display (Standard Long Texts Only)

    If you select this checkbox, the technical history of system long text objects written in SE61 is displayed to the right of the source and target texts in the split screen editor. This checkbox is selected in the standard setting. You see the following information:

    • For the source text:

      • Original language

      • Version

      • Status (this shows you whether the long text has been saved as a raw or active version). For more information, see Saving Long Texts as a Raw/Active Version.

      • Release (for which the object was created)

  • Number of Visible Source Text Lines (10…19)

    This field enables you to determine the number of source text lines you can see in the split screen editor. You can enter a value between 10 and 19. The default setting is 15.

    You can also control this setting directly in the split screen editor by clicking the More Source Text Lines and Less Source Text Lines icons above the input area for the translation.

  • Workflow: Save and Next

    If you select this checkbox, and then sequentially process long text objects in your worklist, actively saving an object makes the system automatically open the next object that you need to process. This setting is inactive by default.
