Field Mapping

Former Member — Thu, 05 Apr 2007 20:14:08 GMT

Hi all,

I'm executing a report written by someone else which is like 1500 lines. For some fields in the report output, I would like to find out where the data is coming from . Can anyone suggest the fastest way of doing this ?

Thanks in advance,

Sona

Debug the code, or search for select statements in which those fields may have been specified.

Thanks,

Hi,

- Go to report in display mode.

- Find out the internal table of output. Here you will see the field reference to the database table fields.

- now check<b> where-used-list</b> of field in program. You will see where in the table this field is used.

- My guess is, you migh not see that this field is getting populated directly by some variable BECAUSE it might be directly read into internal table from database table using SELECT statement.

Let me know if you need any other information.

Regards,

Hi Sona,

Search for all the write statements in the program. Internal table or variable details will be there along with those write statements.That way also you can get the required information.

Other way is, you can view the code or subroutines written in Start-Of-Selection event.This might also be helpful.

Reward if this is helpful.

Thanks,

Srinivas
