Possible or NOT possible...

Hello Guru's,

I have been thinking about a report where the users enters the field name as input parameter and he gets a list of transactions which can updates that field. Did some looking around thought about using the where used list for field and TSTC table but was not able to think about a logic which would give a complete list.

Was wondering if any of you have thought about the similar program or if you can think of a way using which I can code it ?

Thanks

Hi,

I don't think it will be that straight forward, as the SAP standard program that actually update the field will have lot of nesting and cannot found at the transaction level.

Hi Saket,

At Table level,there is a transaction called <b>SARA</b> where you can see the tables used for the different transactions.Though the tcode is for archiving,it can be used to view the details...

I don't think it is possible. At least you cannot garantee that your list would be complete as you virtually cannot count dynamic usage of table.

I agree with Sergei, even if you are able to find the tables, there can be no gaurantee that those are the only tables being updated by a specific transaction / that these tables are being updated by only that transaction.

For example - EKKO table, you would expect that it would be updated by ME21n and that is what you will find in the SARA transaction because you are archiving only the PO's. Now this table will be updated by the MIRO / MIGO transactions as well for the Invoices / GR transactions.

Ravi
