Which table contains report selection texts?

0 Likes

Does any one know which tables store report meta data, like selection texts? In other words, all the things editable via tcode SE38. I have found TRDIR and TRDIRT but I need the table which stores report parameters, or selction texts as they are called in SE38.

Thanks!

You may use FM RS_TEXTPOOL_READ (ID='S').

I need the names of the underlying tables which store the data.

Run the FM with some test data while running an SQL trace.

Quite some time ago I tried finding that as well but to no avail. I ended up using the ABAP statement READ TEXTPOOL <program> LANGUAGE <langu> INTO <texttable> which is what the FM Shai mentioned also does internally. The actual information most likely is "buried" in some cluster tables where the content isn't readily available/legible and only can be accessed via SAP-provided routines (ABAP statement like READ TEXTPOOL or a FM like e.g. READ_TEXT to get the long texts).
