Is there any easy way to find from technical information by structure name what

table data was used to fill the particular screen field or table control?

This can be a tricky task. However, i'll post the actions I usually do if it's a sctucture field:

1 - in techical info pop-up, double-click data element. This will navigate to SE11, data element. There, click where-used-list button in the top, marking options tables and views

2 - if this doesn't work, check the program of the tcode. See TABLE declarations, SELECT statements and "suspicious" FM's or methods.

3 - if this doesn't work, start thinking that probably is a calculated field, which means that probably isn't stored anywhere!

Hi,

Take the data element, generally the same is used on the structure and the db table. Using that data element you can do a where used list. you will get a list of tables. Thats the easiet way.

Or see in the program ,by means of debugging, how the structure is populated. If you know the structure, do a where used list on the structure ( double click on the structure name ) and you will know how the structure is being populated.
