SAP Basis Basics Part 19

Own text on SAPgui logon screen

Go to Transaction SE61 and select the document class ‘General Text’ (selection using F4 help), and create a text with the name ZLOGIN_SCREEN_INFO in the system language determined with the profile parameter zcsa/system_language. If the text does not exist in the system language, no output is made. Note that there is space on the logon screen for 16 lines for every 45 fixed-font characters or for approximately 60 proportional font characters. Title lines (can be recognized by format keys starting with a ‘U’) are highlighted in the display. You may also output icons at the beginning of lines by using an icon code (for example, @1D@ for the STOP icon). You can get a list of icon codes from Report RSTXICON. Pay attention to the codes with two ‘@’ symbols displayed by the report. You cannot include text symbols. The function ‘include character’ cannot be used. Creating/changing this text requires a changeable system. Therefore, for production systems, SAP recommends maintaining the text in the upstream system and then transporting it. To do this, select a transportable (customer) development class when you create the text and save the active version prior to the export. The transport is done via the transport object R3TR DOCT ZLOGIN_SCREEN_INFO The text can be changed in the original system only (see TADIR entry R3TR DOCT ZLOGIN_SCREEN_INFO). When making a change in a non-original system, a modified text would be generated which cannot be represented sensefully on the initial screen.
