Transaction SE11 > select Data type option > open search help > Search for Data Elements >..

At that point you can select on Field Label, Short description and/or data type and field length (with or without wildcards).

Best to only use those in packages related to the module you're working on. RS* and S* are usually good choices. Or simply create your own.

You could also consider where you're getting the data from and/or what you're going to do with the data. Like BAPI, DB Table, etc... You might want to use the same, depending on your situation.

But "borrowing" just because a label is suitable is not recommended. Then create your own instead.
