[sainathmalireddi76]

Hi
I want to fetch full description ( Documentation ) of Data elements through ABAP Program.
Can anyone please help me where they will be stored and how to fetch them
Thanks & Regards,
Sainath M.

Documentation is stored in tables DOKTL, DOKHL

There is a function module DOCU_GET that can be called (with importing parameter ID = 'DE' for Data Element).

In complement, after calling function DOCU_GET, you can call the function TEXT_INCLUDE_REPLACE (like in function DOCU_PRINT).

Did you execute TEXT_INCLUDE_REPLACE to resolve the '/: INCLUDE DEMMSTD OBJECT DOKU ID TX LANGUAGE EN', which contains some text, as you could get with

CALL FUNCTION 'DOCU_GET'
   EXPORTING
        ID       =  'TX'
	LANGU     = 'E'
	OBJECT    = 'DEMMSTD'
	TYP       = 'E'
   IMPORTING
	HEAD      = phead
   TABLES 
        LINE      = pline
    EXCEPTION
        RET_CODE = 1.
