Data extraction from Structures

[Former Member]

Hi

We need to extract the data's from Material master for all the views. for those in tables we are able to extract it directly

I am unable to extract the data from the structures like MFHM, MPOP, SMEINH etc.

Please suggest some way.

Dear Nainar

To find a table for the data stored in structure,

1) Goto <b>SE84</b>

2) Select "<b>ABAP Dictionary</b>" on left

3) Again select "<b>Fields</b>" and "<b>Table Fields</b>"

Now on your right side, a screen will appear. Give the field value viz.<b>MFHM</b> in "Field Name" and execute. Similarly do for MPOP, SMEINH.

Thanks

You cannot get data from structures directly. You may either have to write a program or FM to extract the details from these structures.

Directly, it is not possible.

Hope thsi helps.

thats true that I cant extract directly.

I want to know which databas to search for while writinf the code or the FM which can be helpful

If you are writing a code, you shoudl be able to extract details from structure itself. It is possible to extract the data from structures by programs or FMs, the only thing is we cant take it directly.(Though i dont know the technical reason for this)

Some ABAPer can help you to understand this concept better.
