Hi Abapers

My requirement is to get the data type and length of a dictionary table field in program. please kindly let me know if there is any function module for this.

For Eg. If i give MARA-MATNR as input to function Module the output should give its data type C and length 18.

Suitable answers will be rewarded

Regards,

Kasi S
