Title
Create Resource File (Language Resource Files) for Offline Applications

Purpose
This report creates the resource fules for offline applications such asthe Offline Travel Manager.
Thse files contains the language-independent texts required by the ITSto execute a service in a particular language. The HTML templatescontain place holders instead on the programmed language-specifictexts, which are stored in the appropriate language resource files.When each template is used, the ITS recognises the place holders andreplaces these with the correct text, in the correct language, from theappropriate language resource file.
The language resource file names have the following format: _
.htrc.

Prerequisites
To be able to use the texts, already available for the correspondingonline applications in R/3, in the offline application, the reportdetermines these texts from the ABAP dictionary. The exact dictionaryobjects used are defined using the function module interface parametersfor the application. These parameters are entered in the selectionscreen of the report. (The offline Travel Manager uses the individualvalues BAPI_TRIP* and MODIFY_RECEIPT; The resource files supplied withthe standard Offline Travel Manager application are created usingselection variant SAP&PR05).
The report also interprets the text table PTRV_OFFLINE_TXT, whichstores the language-dependent texts for the fields/place holders that

  • are not in the ABAP dictionary

    • or
    • are in the ABAP dictionary, but are to be replaced by a different text
      • in the offline application.
      You can change customer specific texts in the offline application usingtable PTRV_OFFLINE_TXT; If you do this you must then recreate thelanguage resource files using this report. This also applies to textsfor customer-specific fields that are required offline.
