If you go into the Repository Information System (SE83), then drill down to ABAP Dictionary->Fields->Table Fields, you are allowed to enter a table name to display its fields and short descriptions. I need to know what table the short descriptions are stored. I assumed it was DD03T, but I'm not able to locate most of my field descriptions for the MM module. Can anyone help?
Thanks!

That is for generating a table for view. I don't think that's what I'm looking for. I saw a post asking this question, and someone replied to use DD04T. I am able to find a field name, but I'm not able to associate it to a specific table. The example I'm using to locate the field short descriptions is table EKPO, field BUKRS.
Thanks

Yes that's right.. but this view contains all you want.
Like:
E.g.,
REPORT ZTEST_NP.
data: l_ddtext like dd03m-ddtext.
select single DDTEXT
into l_DDTEXT
from DD03M
where TABNAME = 'EKPO'
and FIELDNAME = 'BUKRS'
and DDLANGUAGE = sy-langu.

I don't have the ability to run an ABAP script, so is the short description in the field SCRTEXT_S ?
Thanks

You can see data in SE16 if you look at DD03M Database view :
Enter tab name
Use language field
Text fields are
SCRTEXT_S - Short
SCRTEXT_M - Medium
SCRTEXT_L - long ( Use this one)

Sheshu... The DD03M seems to be missing some positional data even though its viewable in SAP TCode ZSE16R.
Check this out as an example:
Look at table CSKS fields by using ZSE16R, then go to the choose fields option in the Settings>List Format menus. Then compare that to the data that is in DD03M.
Examples of missing fields form DD03M for table CSKS:
MANDT
PKZKP
VERAK
WAERS
Can you tell me why this data isn't present in the DD03M table?
Thanks

Nevermind Sheshu... I found out that our SAP is limiting us to 2Gb of streaming data which explains why some of the data is missing.
Thanks anyway!
