hi,
you can use get_item_property built-in
eg:
declare
l_item VARCHAR2(10);
begin
l_item := Get_Item_Property('item_name',DATATYPE);
end;

To find the date type fields in the row and validate those date fields

wa_mara-ersda = '00000000'.
    append wa_mara to it_mara1.
    write :wa_mara-matnr,wa_mara-ersda.

How to Find the Data Type of the Field In a Database Table

Hi Experts,
I'm currently working on a program which needs to find out the data type of the given field in a database table. In addition to accessing DD03L directly, is there any other workaround such as function module to help me achieve this? It would be helpful if a demo example could be provided.
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
Use this..
DESCRIBE FIELD dobj TYPE typ.
write typ.
type will contain the data type of the object.
and check this thread also....

How to get the data type of a variable

Hi
I'm new to java and I'd like to put some variables with different data type into the HashMap. But when I'm going to get the value
of the variable I want to know its data type (int,String,long,float etc.) before I do some processing.
here's my sample code:
//start...
Map m = new HashMap();
String s1 = "String1";
String s2 = "String2";
int i1 = 5;
int i2 = 10;
m.put(1,s1);
m.put(2,i1);
m.put(3,12);
m.put(4,s2);
//end...
when I'm going to retrieve the variable, I'd like to assign it to another variable with the same data type. but the problem is, before
I assign it I must know its data type so that I could not have an error.
thanks in advance

I don't think you will be able to put primitives (ints, floats, etc) in, without wrapping 'em first (java.lang.Integer, java.lang.Float...).
You can get the type with
Object biggles;
// Get biggles
if( biggles instanceof String )
System.out.println( "Biggles is a string, yeah biggles" );or with refection
Class bigglesClass = biggles.getClass();
System.out.println( "Biggles is of type: " + bigglesClass.getName() );

Having trouble assigning the Data Type to Shared Variables

I have some type definitions that I need to use as shared variables. When making the shared variable, I create it and then name it. I then select "From Custom Control..." in the Data Type field and select the applicable type definition. The problem is that it displays some other type definition. Am I doing something wrong? I am using LV v.8.6. I don't recall having this problem with v.8.5.1.

Hi Hunter,
All the custom controls are set to Type Def. Since sending my question, I noticed that the system uses the first similarly used custom control and it's name. For example, I have several clusters that each have four numeric controls in them. When creating a shared variable for each of the various clusters, it uses the first custom control that was set up as a shared variable. I hope this makes sense to you. I have not had a chance to see if the shared variables are working because I have other issues to deal with first.
What troubles me is that I don't recall seeing this with v.8.5.1.
I suppose I could and perhaps should use a common type def for all similarly used shared variables.

How to retrieve the data type of a column of a table?

Hi,
I want to retrieve the data type of a column of a table. At the moment I am querying "OCI_ATTR_DATA_TYPE" attribute but it is returning SQLT_CHR for both varchar2 and nvarchar2 data type columns. I need to distinguish between these two data types columns separately. Is there any API through which I could get the exact data type of a column i.e. "nvarchar2"?
Thanks in advance.
Hashim

Hi,
This is the Oracle C++ Call Interface (OCCI) forum - I'm not sure if you are using OCCI or OCI (Oracle Call Interface - the C interface) since you reference "OCI_ATTR_DATA_TYPE" which is more of an OCI focus than OCCI.
In any case, you might take a look at "OCI_ATTR_CHARSET_FORM" which takes the following values:
#define SQLCS_IMPLICIT 1 /* for CHAR, VARCHAR2, CLOB w/o a specified set */
#define SQLCS_NCHAR 2 /* for NCHAR, NCHAR VARYING, NCLOB */So, if you have a datatype of SQLT_CHR and OCI_ATTR_CHARSET_FORM is SQLCS_IMPLICIT then you have a varchar2 if it is SQLCS_NCHAR then you have an nvarchar2.
If you are using OCCI and not OCI then take a look at MetaData::ATTR_DATA_TYPE and MetaData::ATTR_CHARSET_FORM which expose OCI_ATTR_DATA_TYPE and OCI_ATTR_CHARSET_FORM respectively.
Perhaps that will get you what you want.

Why the objects of sysman are created with the data type varchar2 CHAR

Hi,
I have an environment with the following properties,
NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS BYTE
NLS_CHARACTERSET AL32UTF8
After I have created the db control repository, I find the data type of the sysman's objects are
VARCHAR2 (64 CHAR)
Why?

NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS does not apply to tables in SYS and SYSTEM. The data dictionary always uses byte semantics.

Findind Data type of a variable in Run Time

Hi Experts,
    I am trying to find the data type of variable in runtime with "DESCRIBE FIELD" statement.
    but it always shows data type C by default. i have written this code.....
    DATA: w_value TYPE d.
    DESCRIBE FIELD p_value TYPE w_value.
   My requirement is that if i pass a variable of any type(like date, time , char, Integer , Decimal etc.) from selection screen i will   give the correct data type of variable.
Please let me know how to acheive this problem.
Regards,
Shri

Hey Raj,
In this code it always ask a date type variable.
Still my problem i snot getting solve.
check the below one which might give u a fair idea
DATA: Desc_object         TYPE ref to cl_abap_typedescr.
Parameters:   p_char           TYPE char10 ,
              p_date           TYPE d,
              p_int            type i.
Field-symbols : <any_type> type any.
START-OF-SELECTION.
If p_char is not initial.
     assign p_char to <any_type>.
elseIf p_date is not initial.
     assign p_date to <any_type>.
elseif p_int is not initial.
     assign p_int to <any_type>.
endif.
IF <any_type> is assigned.
desc_object = cl_abap_typedescr=>describe_by_data( <any_type> ).
WRITE: / desc_object->absolute_name.
WRITE: / desc_object->type_kind.
ENDIF.
The Catch lies in assigning the variables to field symbol. I think you already have that part of code
