Hi Durga,

Try using the shdb tcode for the transaction you need and when you encounter each screen in that transaction the mandatory fields within that are marked by a tick symbol and u hav to giv a value in them or else u wont move to the nxt screen.

Hi,

To define the input field of a parameter as a required field, you use the following syntax:

PARAMETERS ....OBLIGATORY ..

SELECT-OPTIONS.....OBLIGATORY .......

When you use this option, a question mark appears in the input field for parameter <p>.The user cannot continue with the program without entering a value in this field on the selection screen.

So, this is what is the meaning of required field(which requires input from user to proceed further).

It is not possible to find any data whether its is required or not in tables...

But you can see the key fields (primary keys and foreign keys) of any table...

Reward points if useful

Hi,

If you are in an abap context, these infos are stored in the SCREEN table.

But your question is too general..; you have to be more specific, because it depends on which system you are.
