Field Parameters from ABAP dictionary

[Former Member]

Pls i want to get the field parameters -field description,length of character,data type, etc of a particular field from ABAP dictionary but i just can't seem to get the required information.

to be precise...transaction code FS00

In the GL account number field --- i pressed f1 and i got to technical information

i got the field name to be SAKNR.

i now went to SE11,typed in DD03t (database that store all field and their text in the SAP system)

i searched for field name ... but could not find it ... please can anyone tell me ow to go about it and get the required parameters for this fields.

The table DD03T only contains fields created as "Direct Type" in SE11.

For fields created with a "Data Element" reference, text is in DD04T (with key = data element)

So case DD03L-COMPTYPE

- when 'E' - data element, use DD03L-ROLLNAME -> DD04T

- when space - direct type, use DD03T

there are also structures and other includes

So easier to call a FM like DDIF_FIELDINFO_GET.

If you only wont to get the information interactively use R/3 Repository Information System, call transaction SE84

if you only need properties of the field.

Rather than picking up the field name, take the data element and you can check the properties of that data element.
