table and field definition

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am new to SAP and wonder where I can field definition (specifically from German to English) for each table.

Thank you,

Sunny

As Craig mentioned ABAP forum is the right place for this question.

do you want to find the all the fields of a table and its attributes (length, type, description,etc).

If yes

there are many ways to get it. one of them is using the following FM

TR_NAMETAB_GET

and pass the values to the paramets like below.

IV_TABNAME = <table name>

IV_GET_LENGTHS_IN_CHARMODE = 'X'

IV_GET_TEXTS = 'X'

Hi Raja,

I tried TR_NAMETAB_GET function call but what I am looking for is table and fields description because the field names are all in German. With TR_NAMETAB_GET I can get metadata only.

<b>DD02T</b> table holds the table description

<b>DD03T</b> table holds the table fields description.

If you mean when creating a new table and giving each field a short and long text that is done in SE11 when you create the table or SE80 (create Dictionary Objects)

ABAP forum would be best suited for this question.
