How to get description from the field name

Hello fellow SAP Fanatics,
I am trying to find an easy way to get the description of a field if I know the technical name. I know I can view them in tables but is there one place where I can just look up the field and get the description?
Thanks.

Hello
For all the tables, descriptions and fields you can refer to these tables:
DD02L : ALL SAP TABLE NAMES
DD02T : DESCRIPTION OF TABLE NAMES
DD03L : FIELDS IN A TABLE.
Moreover you can always goto the menu on the selection screen of the table and goto Settings > User Parameters > Key word > Field name / label
Hope this helps

How to get the Business One UDF description from the UDF name

Hi
I have a matrix that gets populated by a datatable, which has a query set dependent on a folder that is selected and therefore it is possible to populate the matrix with different data. The problem I am having is that currently the column headings for the matrix are being bought through as "U_" and then the field name. Would it be possible for me to get the description for the UDF such as Card Code so that this can be displayed instead. I could alternatively change the SQL statements used by the datatable so I name each individual UDF but it would be better if I could simply look in a table for example and pull in the description for that UDF.
Thanks a lot.

Hi Steven,
User field definition (including the descriptions) are stored in the CUFD table.

How can i get value when the field name is user's defined

Hi,
I have a one java method:
public ResultSet countUserDb(String id) {
ResultSet rs = null;
con = dbcon.connect();
String queryString = ("select count as count from
db_allocation where user_id='"+id+"'");
Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
rs = stmt.executeQuery(queryString);
When i call it in a jsp file.
ResultSet counter =db.countUserDb(request.getParameter("id"));
if(counter.next())
int x=rs.getInt("count");
Tomcat said incorrect column name.How can i get the result set when the field name is user's defined.
Best regards
Ricky

You should give the user defined name in the ResultSet.getXXX method to retrieve the column value.
Example
SQL:
Select ename as employeename from emp;
You should say :
ResultSet.getString("employeename"); to get the value.
Alternatively you can retrieve it using column number:
ResultSet.getString(1);

How to extract data from the fields present in two or three tables

Hi Experts,
I have a scenario where i have to extract data from the fields of different tables. e.g. let there 2 tables which have some number of fields . I want the data of 3 fields each from these 2 tables. How can i get that??
Sam

Hi
You can create view in tcode se11..
here you include all tables from which you want to fetch the data..
you need to give selection condition here
eg..
say select empname from table A, select empadd from table B.. where empno(from A)=empno(from B)
(note that you dont need to write queries like this.. i have just given u the example)
After creating the view you can create datasource in RSO2..

How to get data from the GUIBB FORM on processing method PROCESS_EVENT?

Hello Community,
one more question do I have.
I need to process some form data, that were entered by a user. One field was additional added via the method IF_FPM_GUIBB_FORM~GET_DEFINITION, so it is not in the BOL.
I listen to an FPM_EVENT in the IF_FPM_GUIBB_FORM~PROCESS_EVENT.
IF io_event->mv_event_id EQ 'FPM_SAVE_AND_BACK_TO_MAIN' OR io_event->mv_event_id = 'FPM_SAVE_1'.
     " Here I need to access the data from the GUINN FROM
ENDIF.
How can I access to the data, entered in the GUIBB FORM?
Thank you and best regards, Christian

Hello Jens and Christian,
Thanks very much for your help.
Could you help me check where the problem is ? My detail step is as below:
1.      Structure     'S_TR_FILE' , which include component 'MIME_TYPE' with data type 'String' and 'UPLOAD_FILE' with data type 'String'.
2.    IF_FPM_GUIBB_FORM~GET_DEFINITION
    DATA: lo_structdescr    TYPE REF TO cl_abap_structdescr.
    FIELD-SYMBOLS: <ls_new_field_descr> TYPE fpmgb_s_formfield_descr.
    lo_structdescr ?= cl_abap_typedescr=>describe_by_name( 'S_TR_FILE' ).
    eo_field_catalog = lo_structdescr.
    APPEND INITIAL LINE TO et_field_description ASSIGNING <ls_new_field_descr>.
    <ls_new_field_descr>-name = 'MIME_TYPE'.
    <ls_new_field_descr>-label_by_ddic = 'X'.
    <ls_new_field_descr>-visibility = '01'.
    <ls_new_field_descr>-default_display_type = 'IN'.
    UNASSIGN <ls_new_field_descr>.
    APPEND INITIAL LINE TO et_field_description ASSIGNING <ls_new_field_descr>.
    <ls_new_field_descr>-name = 'UPLOAD_FILE'.
    <ls_new_field_descr>-label_by_ddic = 'X'.
    <ls_new_field_descr>-visibility = '02'.
    <ls_new_field_descr>-default_display_type = 'FU'.
    <ls_new_field_descr>-mime_type_ref = 'MIME_TYPE'.
3. After the OVP page is displayed, I select a xlsx file in 'UPLOAD_FILE', and click "upload" button(toolbar on the top page) , I can't get any data from IS_DATA in flush method or CS_DATA in Get_DATA.
Thanks& Best Regards,

How to get 'linenum' from the order form matrix

I'v been trying to get this to work for the past 4 hours now and I can't find a solution.
I have a button on the sales order form, when the user clicks on this button a second screen will appear with more information (stored in a usertable).
However to be able to get this information from my usertable I need to have the linenum of the selected line (in the matrix).
I know I can get the 'row' property but this doesn't give me the linenum (wich is the unique key in the RDR1 table).
Also the 'visorder' column doesn't work since I have textlines in the order that can be placed anywhere and can be more than 1.
Consider the following scenario:
Order with the following lines:
Textline
article line (actual orderline) (linenum = 1 / visorder = 0 / row = 2)
article line (actual orderline) (linenum = 2 / visorder = 1 / row = 3)
article line (actual orderline) (linenum = 3 / visorder = 2 / row = 4)
textline
article line (actual orderline) (linenum = 4 / visorder = 3 / row = 6)---- (this line has been deleted)
article line (actual orderline) (linenum = 5 / visorder = 3 / row = 6)
So in total 6 lines.
How do I get the 'linenum' from the last line (note that linenum 4 has disappeared because of the deleted row)?
I looked into using the dbdatasource but with this I gets the entire RDR1 table (for that order) and can't get the linenum (correct one) out off it since the textlines mess up the order.
Anyone know how to do this?

Hi Marc,
Assuming the document is saved, you can use something like the following:
SAPbouiCOM.Form sboForm = (SAPbouiCOM.Form)_sboApp.Forms.GetForm(ItemEvent.FormTypeEx, ItemEvent.FormTypeCount);
SAPbouiCOM.Matrix sboMatrix = (SAPbouiCOM.Matrix)sboForm.Items.Item("38").Specific;
// Get the document number
SAPbouiCOM.EditText sboEdit = (SAPbouiCOM.EditText)sboForm.Items.Item("8").Specific;
string sDocNum = sboEdit.Value;
if (sDocNum == "") // No document is selected in this window so report error
    _sboApp.SetStatusBarMessage("No document has been selected", SAPbouiCOM.BoMessageTime.bmt_Short, true);
else
    if (sboForm.Mode == SAPbouiCOM.BoFormMode.fm_ADD_MODE || sboForm.Mode == SAPbouiCOM.BoFormMode.fm_UPDATE_MODE) // Document must be saved to ensure VisOrder is correct in the database
        _sboApp.SetStatusBarMessage("Please save the document first", SAPbouiCOM.BoMessageTime.bmt_Short, true);
    else
        int iVisOrder = -1;
        string sMessage = "The Line Numbers on this document are: " + System.Environment.NewLine;
        for (int i = 1; i < sboMatrix.RowCount; i++) // Last row is always blank so loop while i is LESS than RowCount
            SAPbouiCOM.ComboBox sboCombo = (SAPbouiCOM.ComboBox)sboMatrix.Columns.Item("257").Cells.Item(i).Specific;
            string sLineType = sboCombo.Selected.Value.ToString();
            if (sLineType == "") // Not a text line or a subtotal
                iVisOrder++; // Increment your counter to get the next VisOrder value
                SAPbobsCOM.Recordset sboRec = (SAPbobsCOM.Recordset)_sboCompany.GetBusinessObject(BoObjectTypes.BoRecordset);
                try
                    sboRec.DoQuery("select T0.LineNum from RDR1 T0 inner join ORDR T1 on T0.DocEntry = T1.DocEntry where T0.VisOrder = " + iVisOrder.ToString() + " and T1.DocNum = " + sDocNum);
                    if (!sboRec.EoF)
                        sMessage += "Row " + i.ToString() + " in the matrix is LineNum " + sboRec.Fields.Item("LineNum").Value.ToString() + System.Environment.NewLine;
                finally
                    System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(sboRec);
                    sboRec = null;
                    GC.Collect();
        _sboApp.MessageBox(sMessage, 1, "Ok", "", "");
Basically you have a counter that you increment if the matrix line is not a text or subtotal line. This will match the VisOrder value in the RDR1 table which you can use to get the LineNum value.

How to get values from the page excpet pagecontext.getparameter

i have a requirement wherein i am passing paramteres from the "submit" button.but the problem being that,i have multiple rows in my page.what is happening is that my "submit" button is passing the values of the previous row,instead of the current row.this is i think because "commit" gets called later and params are passed before it.
how do i solve this problem
or if i can get to get paramteres in a advance table layout,i l be able to achieve my requirement.beacuse in advance table layout,i am not able to do pagecontext.getparameter("---" of the item

thanks guys,
i did try working with row refrence but it returns a null only.
my requirement was that i had update functionality as well as "add new rows" on the same advtbl bean.an whenevr i click on "add new row" and submit,i was always gettin the parameters for the previous row.
now,i have got a workaround to that,by having a radio button to select rows to update and whenever i click on "add new rows" ,i disable the radio button,and get the handle based on the value from radio group.
but still row refrence dint work for me.i will appreciate if sum1 can send me the code

How to Raise Alerts from the fields of Mapping?

HI,
We had a very typical requirement for our client.
Scenarios is IDOC to multiple files else consider a simple file to file scenario.
Source structure contains some 5 fields and the target also remains the same 5 fields.
Assume SERNO presents in both structures.
The issue here is i need to check for a Target SERNO field should accept only numerical value, there is a possibilty of coming alphanumeric and sometimes with specialcharacter appended numeric. i have developed a udf which allows only numeric.
The mapping is getting failed if alphanumeric or special character exists in that field.
But, the client requires an alert mentioning that this mapping is failed due to the problem in Source SERNO field so that he can easily debug and resubmit those idocs.
I want to know is it possible to raise alerts at field levels.
Thanks,
--Kishore

Hi Raja,
This is a new development and we dont hve any Alert framework right now exist, i believe even the alert category its not possibel to drill down to the field level.
if its possible could you please elaborate.
We have many fileds to check as similarly defined above example SERNO, so if the alerts are triggered @ filed level that are failed that will be a great..
My Ultimate requirement is to notify client that due to this field the mapping was occured and alert should throw some light on to locate the error at the field level.
Please suggest how to procced..
Thanks,
--Kishore

How to get mp3s from the cd to my iPhone library in iTunes when I hook the phone up to my iMac

Always before I hook the iphone up to the imac and open up itunes it recognized the phone and synced. Then you click on the phone and you had a choice of "on this phone" and it would show the folders and songs on the phone. Now, when I hook it up it, it will recognize and sync, but there is no "on this phone" choice and I do not know how to get songs or mp3's from my cd that is in the computer drive to my iphone in itunes. Where did this choice go? How do I get things from a disc to my phone?

Your post is confusing to me because I don't understand the process you are describing. Normally, you would import your CD music into iTunes, then sync your iPhone to iTunes, capturing the music on your iPhone. The "On This Phone" tab would be irrelevant.
Anyway, you can see "On This Phone" by pressing the iPhone icon toward the top of the iTunes window when the iPhone is plugged into iTunes. "On This Phone" is a tab toward the rear (the "Summary" tab is at the front).

How to Get XML from the PDF form generated using Designer that is stored in LC

We have a Requirement of Generating reports on what a PDF form is comprised of? It is easy for us to scan / parse the XML format of the PDF form and get all the relavent Info we need. We are able to see the XML format of the PDF form when we open up the Form in Designer.
But we are trying to run this report in a Batch Mode for many PDF files. I need to know how to get a XML format of the PDF file that is stored in LC that was developed using Designer. Once we are able to get the XML of the PDF form it is just a scan / parse to get the relavent data.
Can some one tell me how to get the XML format of a PDF file stored in the LC?

If I place the PDF form on the LC server - Can you let me know of the tools you are referring to get XML design from the PDF form?
Is it through a Process Orchestration I need to run the PDF through to get a XML design out of it?
I am fine in storing the PDF in the LC server? How will I get the XML design (XML) from this PDF on the server?

How to get music from the iPod to my computer?

Is it possible to get the music from an ipod and put it on your computer? Because i would like to switch all my music from my ipod to my new computer, and i got rid of all the original music.

Hello karakamikaze,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. The first link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead. You can also do a simple Google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer."

I set up two identities, the default & one more. How to get mail from the second one?

I have two different e-mail addresses that I want to get mail from. So the main/default one worked just fine. So I went to options, account settings, identities and set up the second one. But this second one doesn't appear on the start page and still when I Get Mail, it only brings in the mail from the default one. So what do I do?

You do not place your second account in Identities.
You go to the Menu Bar and select '''File-New-Existing Mail Account''' and add it there.
No Menu Bar? Press the alt key.
If using the '''AppMenu button''', click that and select''' New Message-Existing Mail Account'''

How to get data from the user for an Insert Trigger ?

Hi all and thanks in advance, I need to get some values from the user for a child table when a row inserted into the parent table, is that possible to use ampersand inside an "Insert Trigger" to let the user for inserting some values ?
Edited by: user9942078 on 17-Dec-2008 16:35

In a different words,
When a virus attacked your body your blood cells instantly goes into operation. Just like that -> your trigger activated as a result of your DB operation on objects. So, here also you have no option to manually intervene anything.
Hmm... Looks like some science fiction movies ultimately pays some price... ;)
So, trigger basically fires implicitly as a result of any database operation on objects or even on user.
So, that has to be automatic. And, when you are using & it will ask for some input value - which cannot be done in case of triggers.
For details please refer the oracle docs.
