Hi Megan,

I am not sure what you are asking. VEKP-VENUM is a number(Internal Handling Unit Number). What description do you need for tht number.

Thanks

Check this.

DATA: v_table LIKE dd03l-tabname,
      v_field LIKE dd03l-fieldname,
      v_label TYPE string.

PARAMETERS: p_tabfld(60).

START-OF-SELECTION.

  IF p_tabfld CA '-'.
    SPLIT p_tabfld AT '-' INTO v_table v_field.
  ELSE.
    WRITE:/ 'Enter value in the format table-field'.
  ENDIF.

  CHECK v_table IS NOT INITIAL AND
        v_field IS NOT INITIAL.
  CALL FUNCTION 'DDIF_FIELDLABEL_GET'
    EXPORTING
      tabname              = v_table
      fieldname            = v_field
      langu                = sy-langu
*   LFIELDNAME           = ' '
   IMPORTING
     label                = v_label
   EXCEPTIONS
     not_found            = 1
     internal_error       = 2
     OTHERS               = 3
            .
  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
            WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
  ELSE.

Of course you need to validate the table name, field name etc, but you get the idea.

You can use DDIF_FIELDINFO_GET to get the rest of the field information such as its data element, domain, check table, length etc

Hi,

Check in the table VEKP itself..For text field..

Go to se12..Give the table VEKP.

Press display..

Press Ctrl + F4...in that give "text"

It will show the fields that has "text" in its description or in the field name..

Thanks,
