Table containing a shorttext describing the database tables - DD02T-Problem

[Former Member]

Hello,

I am printing a table describing the propertys of some database tables. I took the DDTEXT-Field in the DD02T Table. But for quite a lot tables the DD02T contains no Description in the DDTEXT-Field. But in the Data-Dictionary a short description is shown even for those tables which have not a description in DD02T-DDTEXT. I searched the sourcecode of the Dictionary-Program but had some problems identifying the corresponding lines in the sourcecode. Does anybody know a table or a functionmodule I can use getting a description for every database table. Thanks. Regards, Lars.

Hi Lars,

Could you please give us an example of table without description ?

Hello Frédéric,

thanks for your quick answer. I made a mistake in my code. After I solved this problem, every selected table is described. Sorry and thank you for your help. Sincerely, Lars.

Hi ,

I was going through the entries of DD02T and observed some of the entries have no description in german, for example table TFAX1.

Is it possible that while querying you are not passing SY-LANGU to DDLANGUAGE and while reading ur reading the one where SY-LANGU eq 'D' ( german ).

try view DD03M

or FM DDIF_NAMETAB_GET

DDIF_FIELDINFO_GET

Hi Lars,

i think that error occurs by objects, for which local system isn't the original-system: so the tables are imported from another system with another language.

->try to translate the text or use original language
