Hi ,

You can use the function module DDIF_DOMA_GET .

This function module takes the name of the data element / domain and gives in back its Dictionary information.

I hope this will help you .

Do the following 2 steps. Then create your ABAP program accordingly with the SELECT statement.

1. From table DD03L, give your tablename and get all of its field names and corresponding data element names.

2. From table DD03T, get the description of each data element you have got in step 1.

Then Use Function Module DDIF_FIELDINFO_GET

The sample program will look like this:

REPORT ZTABLEFIELDNAME.

TABLES: DFIES,

X030L.

DATA: BEGIN OF INTTAB OCCURS 100.

INCLUDE STRUCTURE DFIES.

DATA: END OF INTTAB.

PARAMETERS: TABLENM TYPE DDOBJNAME DEFAULT 'MSEG',

FIELDNM TYPE DFIES-FIELDNAME DEFAULT 'MENGE'.

call function 'DDIF_FIELDINFO_GET'

exporting

tabname = TABLENM

FIELDNAME = FIELDNM

LANGU = SY-LANGU

LFIELDNAME = ' '
ALL_TYPES = ' '
IMPORTING
X030L_WA = WATAB
DDOBJTYPE =
DFIES_WA =
LINES_DESCR =

TABLES

DFIES_TAB = INTTAB

FIXED_VALUES =

EXCEPTIONS

NOT_FOUND = 1

INTERNAL_ERROR = 2

OTHERS = 3.

if sy-subrc <> 0.

WRITE:/ 'Field name not found'.

endif.

LOOP AT INTTAB.

WRITE:/ INTTAB-TABNAME, INTTAB-FIELDNAME, INTTAB-FIELDTEXT.

ENDLOOP.

End of Program

Step 1.

Run the transaction and click on System -> Status. Note the program name shown under the transaction code.

Step 2.

Run SE49 and enter the program name you identified in step 1 (SAPLCSDI) and then press enter.

This will identify the tables used, however, as you want to know the fields used as well then you may have to resort to looking at the actual code (get a developer involved if you're not one) using transaction SE80.

In this case the transaction CS03 is assigned to a screen with a function group so it's a slightly tricker process, hence the need for a developers service.

For all the tables, descriptions and fields you can refer to these tables:

DD02L : ALL SAP TABLE NAMES

DD02T : DESCRIPTION OF TABLE NAMES

DD03L : FIELDS IN A TABLE.

Deepali,

Use function module RSD_DTEL_GET to get the field labels for a data element.
