programmatically check the existence of objects in the system

[Former Member]

Hi,

Is there a way to programmatically check the existence of objects? The idea is I'll accept a list of names of objects and their object types and then programmatically check their existence in the system?

Can you point me to a resource on how to do it?

Thanks in advance.

What objects are you referring to? If its the ABAP repository objects that you need, they are all available in tables in the system. TADIR is one such table.

Hope this helps.

Hi.

All custom objects (z, y) being referred to a program. May it be z or y table, data element, domain, sapscript form, function module/group.

The goal is actually to be able to transport a program from a source machine to a target machine. The objects being referred to from the program must also be transported, of course, for it to run properly. Thus, the need to check the objects' existence.

Thanks.

Hi

Yes, You can check

Write a small program and write a select statement to the Table <b>TADIR</b>where the Object Type(like PROG,FUNC,TABL etc) and objectname = given name

If sy-subrc = 0. means the object exits in SAP. other wise not.
