replace parameter name show on screen?

Question

When I'm defining a parameter, like:

 PARAMETER pa_date TYPE d DEFAULT sy-datum.

How do I change "pa_date" to something else when the app is launched? I want to change it to something like "choose date".

Any Ideas?

Solution 1

The Correct Menu Path is:

Goto (Alt-G) -> Text Elements (T) -> Selection Texts (S)

Once there you can Type in the Text you want OR click the "Dictionary Ref." Checkbox. Doing this will keep your report selections a bit more standard, provided that you use the correct dictionary definition.

Solution 2

I think the menu path is edit->text->selection texts. In there you'll find the ability to change the text for selection screen items.
