Hi Megan,

I am not sure what you are asking. VEKP-VENUM is a number(Internal Handling Unit Number). What description do you need for tht number.

Thanks

Hi,

Check in the table VEKP itself..For text field..

Go to se12..Give the table VEKP.

Press display..

Press Ctrl + F4...in that give "text"

It will show the fields that has "text" in its description or in the field name..

Thanks,

Naren

Of course you need to validate the table name, field name etc, but you get the idea.

You can use DDIF_FIELDINFO_GET to get the rest of the field information such as its data element, domain, check table, length etc

HI,

u can get from the table DD04T with field ROLLNAME as data element and DDTEXT as field description.

select ddtext from dd04t into field_desc where rollname = 'MATNR'.

Reward if useful.
