Reading Component Type in ABAP

Former Member — Thu, 21 Jun 2007 06:23:53 GMT

Given a table name, is it possible to identify its 'Component type' <b>programmatically</b>

for example VBAK has the following Application/Component hierarchy:

SD - Sales and Distribution

SD-SLS - Sales

VA - Application development R/3 Sales

<b>VBAK</b> - Sales Document: Header Data

So, is it possible to read this hierarchy in an ABAP program?

Hi Nirmal,

yes it is possible, but you can't be sure that it is followed always.

What is your exact requirement?

From the table description and the Dev class attached to it, and from the fields description we will come to know the component types of that table

all these are stored in different tables with respect to that table

check the tables

TADIR,DD03L, TDEVC etc to get all the above linked things of a table
