Get Data Type from its name...

Former Member — Fri, 08 Jun 2007 15:11:02 GMT

Hi,

I have a table name and a field name in two char variables, I want to the data type of the variable. Is there any function to do this?

For example:

CALL FUNCTION get_data_type

EXPORTING

table_name = 'SPFLI'

field_name = 'CARRID'

IMPORTING

data_type = data_type.

where at the end data_type would have 'CHAR'.

Thanks in advance,

André Costa

see the tables DD03L enter table and field name

or from table DD07L enter domain and get its values

Hi,

Please try this FM DDIF_FIELDINFO_GET.

Enter the table name and field name and check the return table DFIES_TAB parameter for field DATATYPE.
