Hi,

Open table using se11 and check the field type of the field name.

Field type is nothing but the data element. You can doubleclick and check it.

Dataelement : Symantic attributes are called data element and An intermediate object between domain and table type ..U can see in SE11 itself.

Check this function module:

RP_PRINT_GET_DATA_ELEMENT

Hi Amar,

You can get the data element for a field in a database table using DD03L table.

Check this code.

DATA V_ROLLNAME TYPE DD03L-ROLLNAME.

SELECT ROLLNAME

FROM DDO3L

INTO V_ROLLNAME

WHERE TABNAME = 'MARA' -->Provide table name

AND FIELDNAME = 'PSTAT'. -->Provide field name

WRITE:/ 'Data element is: ', V_ROLLNAME.

Otherwise, use function module KL_TABLE_INFO_GET to get the data element for a field of a database table. Provide table name to I_TABNAME and field name to I_FIELDNAME and you will get the data elemet in the export parameter E_TABFIELD_W-ROLLNAME.

Thanks,

Hi

I dont think there is such FM to display the data element directly

But u can get those details from this table DD04D

use your regular query and try extract the data
