How to find out if a structure already exists in DDIC

Hi all,
I want to find out if a structure or table type already exists in the DDIC. I intend to use the DDIF_TABL_GET function module and catch the exception raised but I am not sure if this 'illegal input'  exception is only raised if a structure does not exist in DDIC. Is it the right way or is there a function module or static class method which can return me this info stg. like DDIC_OBJECT_EXISTS or not . I have the same problem for the table types too, but I think the solution must be similar...
Kind Regards,

Hi all,
Thank you for your answers. I also found an alternative way for solving the problem. If you call the function module DDIF_TABL_GET with the state parameter set to 'M' (get the object regardless of its state(active, new)), the export parameter GOTSTATE shows us if the object in DDIC exists or not(if this parameter is space, then the object does not exist).

    I need to get the exact path of 'FCO_DIR' directory. Could you please help me out with this.
    Is there any table name or a quey that I can run to get this information?
    Below is the code that I am using :
    Code:

    Did you try querying ALL_DIRECTORIES instead? (or USER_ equivlent)

  • How to find out that particular structure is used in which tables

    Hello Friends,
    Most of the times through techinal information we come to know the table name for a particular field.And in se16 when i give that table name than system says its structure and not the table.So in se11 when i give that structure name in database table field, its shows all the field in that structure, but not the data stored in that field.
    So my question is how to find out that particular structure is used in which tables,so that i can view data stored in that structure?
    Thanking you guys in advance.
    Regards,
    Jitendra

    Dear,
    When you click on the technical information it will give the structure name and field, double click on the structure and it will take you the display structure screen, there you will have the where-used List icon (Ctrl + Shift + F3) at the top , click on that and it will show the options, select Database tables and execute, it will give the tables related to the structure, you can explore the list of tables and find where your required field is stored in them.

  • How to find out, if a dynamic genereated structure already exists in DDIC?

    Good morning developers,
    can you help me with that above mentioned problem?
    I'm about to write a report which manages to change tablecontrol(s) to alvgrids.
    My current problem is, that i read all fields of a tablecontrol and generate its <b>structure</b> dynamically ( temporary just during runtime of the report, not stored yet ).
    Now I have to know, if this generated structure already exists in the DDIC, or not.
    If not, i have to create a type of my generated structure and store it in the DDiC.
    I know that there s a FM called <b>"COMPARE_STRUCTURE_DATA"</b>.
    But i think i have to know the name of the existing structure in DDiC.
    Is there also a way for a recursive search in ddic?
    If not:  when i read the fields of my tablecontrol from the DDiC, i read from ddic-table D021S. In its field "FNAM" it contains for example SFLIGHT-carrid ( <table><column> ).
    I could split 'FNAM' into table and column. How do i search for the structuretype of a table?
    Thx for your replys, post points waiting

    Hello Bastian
    All dynpro fields (including table controls) are either based on DDIC structures of program variables. Thus, the following coding will return you the required answer.
    *& Report  ZUS_SDN_RTTI_IS_DDICTYPE
    REPORT  zus_sdn_rtti_is_ddictype.
    TYPE-POOLS: abap.
    TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_s_line.
    TYPES:   field(3)  TYPE n.
    TYPES:   flag(1)   TYPE c.
    " INCLUDE TYPE knb1.
    TYPES: END OF ty_s_line.
    TYPES: ty_t_line    TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ty_s_line
                        WITH DEFAULT KEY.
    DATA:
      gs_line    TYPE ty_s_line,
      gs_knb1    TYPE knb1,
      go_tabdescr      TYPE REF TO cl_abap_tabledescr,
      go_strucdescr    TYPE REF TO cl_abap_structdescr.
    START-OF-SELECTION.
      go_strucdescr ?= cl_abap_tabledescr=>describe_by_data( gs_line ).
      IF ( go_strucdescr->is_ddic_type( ) = abap_true ).
        WRITE: / 'gs_line is a DDIC type'.
      ELSE.
        WRITE: / 'gs_line is not a DDIC type'.
      ENDIF.
      SKIP.
      go_strucdescr ?= cl_abap_tabledescr=>describe_by_data( gs_knb1 ).
      IF ( go_strucdescr->is_ddic_type( ) = abap_true ).
        WRITE: / 'gs_knb1 is a DDIC type'.
      ELSE.
        WRITE: / 'gs_knb1 is not a DDIC type'.
      ENDIF.
    END-OF-SELECTION.
    However, if a dynpro field is based on a type defined within the program the situation may be more complex if the type includes DDIC structures (as shown above). But I am sure you will master this obstacle.

  • How to find out the DPI of an existing PDF doc?

    When I print a doc/web page with a pdf printer driver then I can adjust the DPI for the print.
    Ok. But how does this work the other way?
    When I have a pdf doc and want to find out the DPI with which it is printed ?
    How can I find out this value?
    Matthias

    PDFs do not have a dpi. Only individual raster graphics in a pdf have a
    resolution. In a single pdf there can be several different raster and
    vector graphic objects.
    The Acrobat application doesn't control the dpi that a printer uses to
    rasterize a printed pdf file. That is done by the printer driver---most
    often an OS function. The dpi uses to print a pdf has nothing to do with
    the pdf specification.

    Tomas,
    You can't find out who has the name, it would compromise the security of the system - you will have to pick another name I'm afraid.

  • How to find out more info about an existing fault

    Hi there,
    The whole village of Luib on Skye has been cut off because the main road was being resurfaced and the machine digging up the tarmac ripped up and mangled the main phone cable on 30th March. (Not the road menders' fault, but BT's because they never buried the cable properly. In fact, they didn't bury it at all, just hid it in the verge.)
    I have logged the fault on my line and can get a standard amount of info using the online fault tracker. The thing is that all that's available is a standard message saying the phone is expected to be fixed in 3 working days. We (the villagers) don't think this is likely: It's happened before and BT need to order up a supply of the thick cable AND arrange traffic lights etc. We fear it's more likely to be a couple of weeks at best.
    How can we find out more useful information? I tried phoning BT and pressing various buttons, just got the standard fault info, then was asked if I wanted to continue. When I pressed 2 for "yes" a voice said "Thank you for calling BT - Goodbye."  That wasn't the sort of continuation I wanted!
    I have to say that we are heartily sick of the poor treatment we get here on Skye. BT seem to think that because we in a remote place we are not a priority. But consider this: Luib has both private houses and businesses, including mine, that need a phone service and broadband, credit card faciilities etc. and WE DO NOT HAVE ANY MOBILE PHONE SIGNAL.  This means we are totally cut off. What if there is a medical emergency?
    OK: Rant over. But can anyone suggest how I might escalate this and/or find out some solid information. If it turns out there's a wait of a couple of weeks is there any way of putting pressure on to speed things up?
    Many thanks.

  • How to find out structure of internal table?

    Hi
    is there any way how to find out name of structure upon which internal
    table was created?
    i got internal table passed to function module by any table
    type. There can be different types of table passed in. Inside of
    module a need to find out the structure of table.
    I've found a tricky way how to find this information using following
    command 'DESCRIBE FIELD dobj INTO td.', but its probably not a correct
    way because using this command is not recommended in application
    programs.
    Is there any function module, or something i can use for getting this information?
    Thanks

    Thanks very much
    This has solved my problem:

    Hi Ashu,
    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.

    You can read the table E071 with the object id and get the transport request number. Use this transport request and read the table E070, the field "TRSTATUS" will give the status whether the object is locked or released.
