We have a field that is on the PAEMPLOYEE table called RELATED_EMP. It shows up on HR11 on the Benefits Tab and is a yes/no field. We relabeled it on HR11 because we would never use this field and didn't want to have to use a user field for a field that we needed that was a yes/no field anyway. Now in the employee groups, it is pulling the label Related Employer from the PADICT table. Has anyone ever changed the label in the PADICT table. It looks like you'd have to change ITEM_NAME, HEADING_01, HEADING_02 and COLUMN_HEADING for this record.
I can't imagine it would hurt anything, but I just wanted to see if anyone else has ever done it.

You want to change the field name in the table itself? I don't see the need if you're able to change the form display. I think you'd have to do a database reorg and the next patch you applied would change it back anyway.

Lisa,
I have done this before and it worked. PADICT is loaded from a CSV that is in the Admin folder. You can change the data in the CSV and use importdb to effect the change. Which of the data fields you change depends, but you would not want to change Item Name, I believe that is a key field; its the descriptors you want to change.
You will have to pay attention when you apply application CTPs and MSPs because Lawson reloads the table in the same manner as part of those changes.
As always, do this in test first and test it before doing anything in production.
HTH,
Karen

Thanks Karen, I found the padict.csv file and did the importdb. All seems fine. I appreciate your help!
David - the screens pull from the padict table to label the field, so that is why I needed to change the data in the table, not the structure of the table.

I had to change the Item Name in order for the labels to change on PA52 and PA50.
