Data element from short description

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

Is there any FM to get Data element from short description?

Ex : If for short description : Company code, It should return BUKRS.

Thanks

HI Katrice,

you can use the function module DDIF_FIELDINFO_GET . But you have to pass the fieldname to get the dataelement of that particular field.

U can use the tables DD03l, DD04T-Contains all Data elements with description , u can search in se11 also if you want to search only with description.

Hi Katrice,

You could also use SWU_GET_ROLLNAME_TO_FIELDNAME .

You can pass the value as tablename-fieldname .

ex : Import parameter :    zapt_book-status

      Output Parameter :    status ( DATA ELEMENT)
