Which SAP table stores custom table documentation?

Former Member — Thu, 31 Oct 2013 15:43:07 GMT

Hello everyone,

I'lve tried searching for this but have not yielded any successful results. I am looking to find which SAP standard table stores documentation created for customer-created tables?

For instance, say we have namespace /customer/ and I have /customer/table as the table I'm working with. If I use SE11 to view this table, then use the menu to navigate through Goto > Documentation > Change, I can then create custom documentation to help our users understand the purpose of this table.

Where, in SAP tables, is this documentation stored?

Additional Info:

When I use the same navigation mentioned above, and then once in the text editor, I use Goto > Header, I see the following:

Text Name: /customer/table

Language: EN

Text ID: TB

Text Object: DOKU

Style: S_DOCUS1

Form: S_DOCU_SHOW

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Hello Justin,

Have you checked entries in STXH table? You can also use READ_TEXT FM to read the documentation, you can pass above parameters as an input to this FM. Also check SO10 too.

Thanks,

To this point, I have not chased it down, that I remember. But that is also what I expect. You could put a break in read_text and then go into the custom documentation. If it doesn't hit read_text, then it's not a long text!

Hi Justin,

The documentation data is stored on DOKHL (Header) & DOKTL (Lines) tables. You can use the identification data that you've got to access to headers table and then get the corresponding lines of text.
