Fields in table

Former Member — Mon, 08 May 2006 08:26:40 GMT

Hi Everybody,

When we press F1 help for any screen field, and then press technical info button, it gives the corresponding name of structure containing that field and not the name of table.. so can any body plz tell me why is it so??

why in SAP everywhenre structures are used instead of tables and if we want to know the name of tables of screen fields then either we need to use table dd03l or data browser and we can not get it from technical infromation of that field??

Thanks

Hi Rashmi,

You don't get the table name there because it is quite possible that the same field is there in some other tables also.

So, which table SAP will specify there, that's why they give the structure name.

Rashmi,

The reason for that being that SAP has used the structure fields on the screen and NOT the table fields.

One reason I could think of is that as these database tables / fields will be affected from multiple screens and if you use the table fields on the screen, one change in the table, will affect so many transaction which might not be required and the functionality might be affected. That is why you usually find one structure for one program / transaction being used.
