Message Sets: Message Set Editor and Message Definition Editor preferences

While looking at a large message set that contains a number of message definition files that have different namespaces, or multiple message definition files that have the same namespace, you might want to view the information in alternative ways to make it easier for you to visualize the structure of the message set. If you double-click the global construct, you open the message definition file in which the global construct is defined.

Property Type Meaning
Group by namespace and then by collections Button Selecting this view groups the global constructs by namespace then by collection (for example, Messages, Types, Groups, or Elements and Attributes). Using this view you can visualize all of the constructs that belong to each of the defined namespaces.

Message definition editor settings

Property Type Meaning
Show base complex types Check box Where your complex type is based on another complex type that is derived by an extension, selecting this will display the base complex type in the outline view.
Prefix for created messages String This property allows you to specify a prefix to precede the name of the initial complex type in the name of the created message. This prefix applies only to messages created from C or COBOL files. The default value is msg_.

Note, however, that no prefix is applied when a message is created from a C file, and the selected preprocessing option is SAP ALE IDoc or SAP File IDoc.

Tab Extensions

Click Tab Extensions to display check boxes that allow you to determine what tabs are enabled for the Message Set Editor, the Message Definition Editor, and the Message Category Editor. All these check boxes are always selected and cannot be cleared.
