Help Maintaining Helptexts
Transaction DBIHLP
This transaction is used to maintain helptexts.
Users can add or modify helptexts displayed on the screen by clicking the [F1] key for a selected field or option, or by right-clicking and choosing the option 'Display context help'.
The transaction is also used to search/display context-sensitive helptexts for fields or transactions.
The following functions can be started in the transaction by clicking the icons in the list below for:
printing helptext(s).
creating Helptext List
showing Version Log of the modifications to the helptext(s).
Search for a helptext either by entering a banking concept/part-phrase (e.g. 'benefic') or by entering parts of the technical code, that is composed of
- Project ('DOK')
- Type ('DBF' for database field, 'TRN' for transaction or 'DOC' for documentation)
- Table or path (table code for the database field, module path for the transaction or the transaction name for documentation)
- Fieldname or empty for helptexts at module level (*)
- Additional field (always empty)
- Language ('DE' or 'EN')
- Level (always '0')
each of which is separated by a period '.'.
(*) Helptexts at module level are displayed for all fields used at the same level. Such texts are used to store descriptions for parties in different roles, for example. These are then displayed in all fields in which the relevant role appears (e.g. Reference Number, Party Number, Address Block).
All helptexts that match the phrase searched for - either in their technical code, their description or in the text - are displayed. Select and edit the relevant helptext by double-clicking it.
Alternatively, start the Info transaction by clicking [i].
Helptexts searched for and selected from here can be picked up for editing by clicking 
.
This transaction is particularly suited either for a systematic revamping, or a targeted correction, of helptexts in database fields or in the documentation.
The transaction “Preselection of context-sensitive Helptexts” (DBPHLP) is particularly useful when it comes to capturing helptexts on transactions and transaction fields. This first starts the transaction in which the helptext is to appear. In a second session, DBPHLP is then launched by clicking 'Edit context helptext' from the context menu for the required field.
The transaction “Reorganizing Helptexts (HLP)” is used to search, to create and to delete missing or unused helptexts.
