fields names and fields labels

Former Member — Tue, 27 Feb 2007 16:30:25 GMT

Hello everybody!!

I would like to know if there is a way to know the name of a field in a dynpro knowing its description.

Eg:

I know the field label _(description)--> vendor, and I want to guess the field name (lifnr)

thank you very much!

you can also navigate from the technical name to see the table/structure name.

that can be known by experience. or else you can referr to the declaration part say

vendor -> declaration as lfa1-lifnr. you can know like this or else if its declared as vendor(10) type c then you have to know only by experience.

Hi,

You can check the table DD04T...to get the data element for the corresponding text..

Is this what you want??

If you want to know in debugging..I believe it is not possible to get the field name for the field description..

Thanks

Goto SE11. In Data type field press F4 and select 'search for data elements'.

In the field label enter 'vendor'.

You would get all the possible entries.

Thanks,
