Find length of a particular field.

Hi,
I am new in ABAP. So Please guide me how to find out the length of a particular field and also give the function name with example.
Ram Shanker

Hi RAM,
DESCRIBE FIELD
Syntax
DESCRIBE FIELD dobj
[TYPE typ [COMPONENTS com]]
[LENGTH ilen IN {BYTE|CHARACTER} MODE]
[DECIMALS dec]
[OUTPUT-LENGTH olen]
[HELP-ID hlp]
[EDIT MASK mask].
Effect
This statement determines several properties of the data object dobj and assigns them to the specified variables. The various additions enable you to determine the data type and the number of components for structures, the length used in the memory, the number of decimal places, the output length, the name of the data type for a reference to a data element of the ABAP Dictionary, and a possible conversion routine.
Notes
You can specify field symbols or formal parameters in procedures for dobj to determine the properties of the data object they represent at the time of the statement execution.
The statement DESCRIBE is used to determine the properties of data objects of elementary data types. When DESCRIBE is used for structures or data objects of deep data types like strings, internal tables, or reference variables, you can only determine elementary properties. Further details, for example, the static or dynamic type of a reference variable cannot be determined using DESCRIBE. For this kind of information, you can use the type classes of Run Time Type Services (RTTS). They enable you to determine all properties of data objects of all data types.

Clear historical cache for particular field

Hi all,
I am working on a module pool program. There is one field to display the exployee number, let's say the field length is 8 char.
Everytime accessing into the screen, the employee number field should clear (clear from history) for the next new employee to enter the employee number.
The problem I am facing now is, the next employee can easily press on the SPACEBAR to select the employee number from the history (which is not agreed by my boss).
I also understand that there is a fastest way to handle this by increasing the field length to longer, let's say 60 char. Then it will not display out in list for them to select from history even they press on SPACEBAR.
In ABAP programming, how do I remove it from history for this particular field? Other fields are required to store in history for easier data entry.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
For each user related information is stored in the local folder. You can get the latest cache file for that user from there. Below is the path to obtain the same.
C:\Documents and Settings\andy\SapWorkDir\SAP_Cache_andy
Here you will find a lot of files. They will contain the latest cache information.
Cache1 and Cache2. You need to manipulate these files to achieve the requirement.
Thanks,
Samantak.

How to find Info objects for particular filed??

Hi
I hav doubt Can anyone tel me???
My Query s How to find Info objects for particular filed??
For example i hav some table fileds, how to find Info objects for that fields??
Pls explain me detaily
Points wil be given for all answers.
Thanks
Senthil

Hi Senthil ,
You have your field description along with your Field right.
For example:MATNR - Material Number
Now take this description and go to your BW side Tcode:RSA1
1)Search in Modelling >> Infoobjects >> Material Number
Then you get few hits (matches) which have description matched.
For Example: 0material - Material Number
Check for the Length and type match.
You will understand once you get those hits as to which is related to yours.
2)Go to BI content and search in the infoobjects this has all active and inactive objects but this takes a little time (not much though).
3) You have meta data search / simple search also where you can search for the objects with field description as matching criteria.
Hope your doubt is cleared atleast to some extent.
Assign Points if helpful.
Thanks,
Priyanka

Get the value of a particular field in a segment of an Idoc

Hi All,
I have a requirement where I need to write a report which will fetch the value of a particular field in a segment of an idoc.
I have the idoc number segment and field name as input parameters by which I can fetch Sdata from EDID4 but the confusion is how to find the exact field value from that Sdata. How to Map the SDATA to the segment structure.
Please advice...

Hi,
I have one last doubt that may be you people can help with... The user will be giving the segment name and field name as input. So by following Kesav's code while i can get all the values in the segment structure at runtime please suggest how to display any one field from that structure given that that particular field will come at runtime.
EX: user gives an idoc number 123 (say belonging to Orders basic type)
segment E1EDK01
field BELNR.
So i need to display the value of E1EDK01-BELNR of idoc number 123.
Please suggest how to achieve this....

You can use STRLEN command for your requirement.
First read your input field using code wizard.
Then using STRLEN command you can find the length of the Input field.
For Example :
Here input is your input field.
data : length type i.
length = strlen(input).
If length < 9.
raise error msg.
endif.

The above statement also creates ranges structure in Runtime.
Procedure finding range table structures

Go to where used list --> search for 'Structures'
After getting all structure --> Click 'SEARCH' butoon in tool bar --> Search for 'RANGES' word
You can get all ranges tables in the search window
