Translations and text ID

The text ID report /TCTM/WM_TEXTID_RPT is used to view, download and upload AMD text or text ID values for the key fields identified as being relevant for text conversion.

Transaction /TCTM/WM_TEXTID_RPT is primarily used to identify and prepare fields for any translation that a client requires.

The selection criteria allows for entry of a class (e.g. /TCTM/WM_APP_XXX) to return all text overrides defined for all transactions for that particular class. It is also possible to search for App Transaction Codes using wildcard searches if necessary.

Of interest in the report are the AMD value, the converted value and the current status.

The AMD value displays the currently held text override, DDIC entry or free text entry.

The 'Converted' value displays the text the user will see for each particular AMD entry. This is either referenced from the DDIC, global or app transaction text overrides or free text in the AMD Value field.

The status field refers to the status of the current AMD Value held for the transaction.

• 0 – Free text entry

• 1 – DDIC or Text Override

• 2 – The AMD Value is in an error state – an invalid DDIC or Text Override has been provided.

Upload methods

To update AMD values there are two main methods.

Download and upload

Using this method allows you to download a spreadsheet from this transaction (using the download icon), edit the spreadsheet and then subsequently upload the spreadsheet (using the upload icon) to perform a mass updated in the AMD.

Upon uploading, the tool will perform a sense check on the data provided before allowing you to save the changes highlighted.

Replace Text ID

It is possible to select multiple entries in the report for updating to a particular text or text ID.

Select one or more lines of data, press the 'Replace Text ID' button.

Tapping F4 Help will show search tools to allow you to select either DDIC entries or text override entries defined in WM_CFG, by selecting the appropriate tab in the search popup.
