Editing Data Dictionary Alpha, Row, and Column Entries

You can edit Alpha and Row, and Column Entries dynamically. Editing them dynamically enables you greater consistency when translating the data dictionary.

To edit data dictionary alpha or row, and column entries:

  1. From the Translation Applications menu (GH791), select either Senior Translations or Junior Translations, depending on whether you are a senior or junior translator, and then select either F9202: Data Dictionary (DD) Row / Column or F9203: Data Dictionary (DD) Alpha.

  2. On the Fix/Inspect (Work With...) form, locate the records that you want to translate.

  3. Select an item in the detail area and then click Select.

  4. On Data Dictionary Translation, select the Translation tab.

  5. Complete these target fields as necessary:

    • Alpha Description

      Enter an alpha description translation.

    • Row Description

      Enter a row description translation.

    • Column Title

      Enter a column title translation for Column 1 or Column 2 or both.

  6. Click OK.

    Note: JD Edwards Translation Tools accept a blank translation field only for Column Title 2 fields. If you are unsure about a translation, change the status of the item to 25 (Edit/Review) and review it later.
