select that field & click on "where used list " button on application tool bar.

you will see a pop-up with different check boxes for TABLES,STRUCTURES.... & select TABLES & enter.

you will see all the tables in which this particular field exists

what do you mean by field (it may be either dataelement or domain) so go to that domain/data element, then use the above technique of searching it.

A field name can be the same in several tables. Taking your own example of MATNR, it exists not only in MARA, it exists in EKPO, VBAP and many more tables. So if you are expecting one table given a field name as input, then you are in for a surprise.

DD03L stores the fields of all table and structures.

Hi Shejal,

1) Go to SE15 (Repository info system)

2) Expand ABAP Dictionary

3) Expand Fields

4) Click on Table Fields

5) Enter the field name you want to search in field name and Execute.

Regards,

Vicky
