Data element from short description

Former Member — Fri, 27 Sep 2013 04:12:31 GMT

Dear Experts,

Is there any FM to get Data element from short description?

Ex : If for short description : Company code, It should return BUKRS.

Thanks

Katrice

Hello,

You can browse table DD04T.

HI Katrice,

you can use the function module DDIF_FIELDINFO_GET . But you have to pass the fieldname to get the dataelement of that particular field.

U can use the tables DD03l, DD04T-Contains all Data elements with description , u can search in se11 also if you want to search only with description.

Regards,

Sivaganesh.

Hi Katrice,

You could also use SWU_GET_ROLLNAME_TO_FIELDNAME .

You can pass the value as tablename-fieldname .

ex : Import parameter : zapt_book-status

Output Parameter : status ( DATA ELEMENT)

Hi,

please check the code

TYPES : BEGIN OF ty_fies.

        INCLUDE STRUCTURE DFIES.

TYPES : END OF ty_fies.

parameters : p_table like dd02l-tabname,

             p_string(60) type c.

data : it_fies type standard table of ty_fies initial size 0,

       wa_fies type ty_fies.

CALL FUNCTION 'DDIF_FIELDINFO_GET'

    EXPORTING

      TABNAME              = p_table

*   FIELDNAME            = ' '

*   LANGU                = SY-LANGU

*   LFIELDNAME           = ' '

*   ALL_TYPES            = ' '

*   GROUP_NAMES          = ' '

*   UCLEN                =

* IMPORTING

*   X030L_WA             =

*   DDOBJTYPE            =

*   DFIES_WA             =

*   LINES_DESCR          =

   TABLES

     DFIES_TAB            = it_fies

*   FIXED_VALUES         =

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.

loop at it_fies into wa_fies WHERE FIELDTEXT = p_string.

write:wa_fies-ROLLNAME.

CLEAR wa_fies.

endloop.
