Finding column Name in structure

Hi All
I have a requirement where i have the field names ( matnr, ekorg) etc., in an intenal table. eg., . using those names I need to read another internal table which carries values for the fields. I need to write a program to check if a particular field in table 1 has an initial value in table 2 or not.
for my logic, I am looping on tab1( since it will contan only few fields) and assigning it to field symbols. but since the values from tab1 are dynamic, i cant hard code to assign field name like Matnr. So I am unable to figure out who to read tab2 with the field names i find in tab1.
I used cl_abap_tabledescr=>describe_by_data (itab2) to columize the fields of itab2. but this method doesnt fetch me the field values? I was wondering if my approach was correct and if there is any way to use fields from itab1 to read values from itab2.
I am not an ABAP expert, so any help is appreciated
Regards
Ruel

Finding column name in database

Hi all..
I want to find each column name, how many tables this column name is there
in database.
For single colum, i can find by using this query..
select a.COLUMN_NAME, a.TABLE_NAME from all_tab_columns a where
a.OWNER='DC_ERD' and a.COLUMN_NAME ='ACCESSORY_MAKER'
If i want to find for each column present in the database, can anybody please tell
me if it is possible in sql or pqsql is needed.
Thanks in advance,
Pal

Are you asking about the number of tables, it's been used or the tables list?
select column_name, count(table_name)
from all_tab_columns
group by column_nameCheers

How to find column names in a table

Am learning the basics of SQL Plus.
Have entered the following query:
SELECT * FROM t_ebb_session;
This gives me the following output.
USER_ID SESSION_ID LAST_ACCE
However LAST_ACCE is not the full name of the column as I get 'Invalid column name when I use it in a select statement.
How do I display the full name?

By default, SQL*Plus will set the column display width of a character column to its size in the database, and the heading will be the column name in uppercase, truncated to fit that width if necessary. (There is a different rule for numeric columns.)
You can override this with the COLUMN command, e.g:
COLUMN some_column_name FORMAT a30 HEADING "Alternative Name"
Check out the SQL*Plus documentation for all the COLUMN options.

Finding Table Name from Structure Name

Hi All,
Can someone tell me,whats the best/fastest way to find out the Table name where a data gets stored actually,when we know a structure name
Bhavin P Shah

Hi Bhavin,
The fastest way would be to use the " WHERE USED " option that you find on the application toolbar.
Step:
1. Go to SE11.
2. Enter the Structure Name.
3. Press the " WHERE USED " button.
4. Select "Dictionary Tables.
After that you should get the list of all the Dictionary Tbales that use your structure.
Kindly Reward points if you found the reply helpful.

You write the structure name in se11
after selecting the database table radio button
click on the where used list button in the application tool bar.
You will find the table name if it is used else where.

Finding source database table/column name for a column in a view

Hi i need to be able to identify the original database table/column name for a column in a view.
e.g. say i have a view like this
create v1 as select a.name fname, b.name bname, c.name cname,......
from u1.names a, u2.names b. u3.names c
where .....
Now I want to find out that the database table/column name for the fname, bname and cname columns in the view v1, which in this instance is u1.name.name, u2.names.name, u3.names.name.
But i need to be able to do it for any view. Short of parsing the SQL is there an easy way of doing this?
Now obviusly I can't do this for virtual columns but I will know my column is not virtual as it has an index on it.

But i need to be able to do it for any view. Short of
parsing the SQL is there an easy way of doing this?No, parsing the SQL is the only way. Good luck it is not something I would want to attempt.

How do I find the name of an append structure?

Lets say I want to add a field to the component BT115QS_SLSQ (Sales quote search).
I enhanced the component and the view (SlsQuotSQ).
If I go to the context nodes and the context node BTQSLSQUOT.
I can see the implementation class ZL_BT115QS_SLSQUOTESQ_CN00.
If I go inside of this class I see a tab attributes with a field called base_entity_name
the initial value is BTQSlsQuot for this attribute.
But how would I ever know that the append strcture name for this component / view is CRMST_QUERY_SLSQUOT_BTIL ???
I only displayed it above becuase I did endless searches and realized this is the one. But is there an easier way to find the append strcture name so that when I go to SE11 I can either copy and paste it in or type it in. Is there somewhere in the workbench or anywhere which tells me its in this case CRMST_QUERY_SLSQUOT_BTIL ???
How do I find this name ?

Edit:
FOUND THE ANSWER!
Here is a complete document I put together for anyone else with this issue.
I would really love to blog SAP issues like this because there seems to be very little help on the forums for the CRM Web client side :(...
Purpose
The purpose of this document is to explain how to find the append structure and how to use it.
Problem
Letu2019s say I want to add a field to the component BT115QS_SLSQ (Sales quote search).
I enhanced the component and the view (SlsQuotSQ).
If I go to the context nodes and the context node BTQSLSQUOT (this is in the context nodes area)
I can see the implementation class ZL_BT115QS_SLSQUOTESQ_CN00.
If I go inside of this class I see a tab attributes with a field called base_entity_name
the initial value is BTQSlsQuot for this attribute.
That is the key here, in order to determine the append structure to use when going into SE11 you need to know the name of the base_entity_name. In the above case the base entity name is BTQSlsQuot.
That means you need to use BTQSlsQuot
Step By Step Procedure
1)     Get the base entity name as described above
2)     Once the base entity name is given go to transaction GENIL_MODEL_BROWSER
3)     Enter a component or a component set like so:
a.
4)     Press the green check box
5)     For model select u201CDynamic Search Objectsu201D (for this particular case because we are trying to add a field to a dynamic search)
6)     Select u201CDynamic Query Object BTQSlsQuotu201D
7)     Once you expand this you should be given the attribute structure as shown below:
Now you have the attribute structure name CRMST_QUERY_SLSQUOT_BTIL
How To Use Append Structure
Now that youu2019ve found the append structure to use it follow these steps:
1)     Go to SE11
2)     Click radio button Data type
3)     Enter CRMST_QUERY_SLSQUOT_BTIL
4)     Click display like so:
a.
5)     Click the u201Cappend structureu2026u201D button at the top right
6)     Add the field as a ZZ field and enter the data type like so:
a.

Finding column and table name

Hi,
I need to find out that '101c_0000000018' value is which column and table of database.
Is there a way to find it? I am looking for table and column which is storing this data.
Thanks
Sandy

It's possible but performance is going to be horrible.
Assuming the data is stored in a CHAR or VARCHAR2 column, something like
DECLARE
l_value VARCHAR2(100) := '101c_0000000018' ;
l_cnt PLS_INTEGER;
l_sql VARCHAR2(1000);
BEGIN
FOR x IN (
 SELECT table_name, column_name
 FROM dba_tab_cols
 WHERE owner = <<name of schema>>
 AND data_type IN ('CHAR', 'VARCHAR2' )
LOOP
 l_sql := 'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ' || x.owner || '.' || x.table_name || ' WHERE ' || x.column_name || ' = :1';
 EXECUTE IMMEDIATE l_sql
 INTO l_cnt
 USING l_value;
 IF( l_cnt > 0 )
 THEN
 dbms_output.put_line( 'Found the value ' || l_value || ' in owner = ' || x.owner || ' table name = ' || x.table_name || ' column name = ' || x.column_name );
 END IF;
END LOOP;
END;Justin
