Function module to get table fields list

Former Member — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 14:26:26 GMT

Hi there dear ABAP'ers.

1. I would like to ask do you know some function module that I pass a table name to and it would return this table fields list?

2. Is there some possibility to get not only table fields list, but their types as well?

What I want to do is that I want to get ADRC table fields list and put this fields list into searchhelp later.

I will be thankful for some suggestions.

Regards,

Hi,

You can use the FM below.

Calling FM to get the dictionary field attributes

CALL FUNCTION 'DDIF_FIELDINFO_GET'
    EXPORTING
      tabname        = rv_table (Your table name)
    TABLES
      dfies_tab      = lt_fields
    EXCEPTIONS
      not_found      = 1
      internal_error = 2
      OTHERS         = 3.

  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
            WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
  ENDIF.

This will give all the field attributes as well.

Regards,

Ganga
