Get Help documentation

0 Kudos
102

Hi everyone,

I have following problem.

In SAPGUI, if you select a field and press F1 you'll get a new window showing a small description (help description).

Is there a way to fetch this help description outside SAPGUI (for example using a BAPI or certain tables)?

Basically I want to give a table and a field as parameters, and want to have the description in return.

Is this possible?

I've found BAPI "BAPI_FIELDHELP_GETDOCU", but I don't have the slightest idea how this BAPI works.

Many thanks in advance!!!

Hi,

I guess BAPI_FIELDHELP_GETDOCU bapi doesnt satisfy your requirement as you are particular in giving the table name to retrieve the field documentation (because this bapi reads the documentation for fields in a bapi parameter). I think you can write a simple program which serves ur purpose.

Moreover reg the bapi you can go thro the function module documentation (can be found at the right top) of the bapi so that you can know the function of that particular bapi.

Hope dis helps.

Revathi.
