Get Data Type from its name...

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a table name and a field name in two char variables, I want to the data type of the variable. Is there any function to do this?

For example:

CALL FUNCTION get_data_type

EXPORTING

table_name = 'SPFLI'

field_name = 'CARRID'

IMPORTING

data_type = data_type.

where at the end data_type would have 'CHAR'.

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

Please try this FM DDIF_FIELDINFO_GET.

Enter the table name and field name and check the return table DFIES_TAB parameter for field DATATYPE.
