Field Description

Former Member — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 17:18:09 GMT

Hi All,

If I have a Z table with a Char field of 32 char containing a text string imported from another system via interface. Is it then possible to have a report or function module to read this text, go to another table, find a field description which matches 100% and returns the values for this entry.

Could anybody throw some light on this question and if possible give me some hints on how to do it ?

Regards,

Lakshmi

Hi,

Definitely you can do it. Please describe the problem you are facing. You can develop Z-program/FM to read the data from your Z-tables.

Thanks,

Vinod.

Hi Again,

Could you please elaborate on how do we read the field 'description' ?

Eg. Z Table A has a field BUKRS - Company Code

Now Table B has many fields and how do I find the field and its values which have the description 'Company Code' only ?

Regards

Table DD02L has the table/field names. Table DD04T has the name of the dataelement.
