Field description

Former Member — Fri, 24 Feb 2006 13:06:06 GMT

Hi,

Is there any Function Module/Method to get the description of a field knowing only the fieldname.

Ex: Field = matnr

Giving the input as matnr and getting the description

'Material Number'.

Thanks,

Bharadwaj

DD_GET_FIELD_INFO or rv_field_read

You have to give the Tablename also as SAP uses te same field witha diff name ina diff table

Try FM if you have table name/structure name/type name & the field name..

DDIF_FIELDINFO_GET

See the FM documentation in SE37...

This function module reads the runtime information of a table or in

general of any type of the ABAP Dictionary.
