Name of field in a structure

Hi all,
hope somebody can help me.
Is there an easy way to find out the name of a specific field in a structure?
Example:
data:
begin of hugo,
name type string,
surname type string,
end of hugo.
hugo.name = 'HUGO'.
hugo.surname = 'WOLF'
Now I want to write "Name", the field of the structure..
Is there a easy way to that dynamically.
I know in this example the easiest way would be "write 'Name'.", but it's just an example.
Hope sb can help me
Kind regards.
Philip

Target file name as field in target structure

Hi SDNers,
I have a requirement where I need to populate a field in target structure with the target file name, this will be a counter.
So if the interface is run 2 times already the third file should have name XXXXXXX_03 and also this needs to be mapped to a field in the target structure.
Any ideas on how to achieve this?
(Pls Note: I am aware of ASMA and variable substitution)

Table name and field name of the structure field

Hi Gurus
I am having a screen where i enter a value in a field and that field is a structure field, I would like to know in which table and what field is this value storing?
Can anyone help me out in finding the field name? and what is the procedure to find?
Thanks in advance

Hi Satya,
In the field data section (technical information), you can double click on the field name then the system will take you to SE11 (Data Dictionary). From here, you can check whether the field is available in tranparent table or structure.
In general, as naren mentioned sales order header data stored in table VBAK and line item in table VBAP, VBEP, etc.
For request delivery date, it stores in table VBAK-VDATU.

Need to add one field in standard structure???

Hi Experts,
I wanted to add one Z-field in standard structure. Anybody will suggest me how to do that step by step??

open the table in se11 and press append structure in application tool bar
press create button on pop up window.
give the append name and include the fields u required.
Yes, you can add the extra fields to the standard table.
Create Z-Structure with the fields needed and append the structure to the standard table by using the option append structure within table display
we can enhance the standard tables by using Append structures and customizing includes.
Append structures allow you to attach fields to a table without actually having to modify the table itself. Table enhancements using append structures therefore do not have to be planned by SAP developers. An append structure can only belong to exactly one table.
In contrast, CI_includes allow you to use the same structure in multiple tables. The include statement must already exist in the SAP table or structure. Table enhancements using CI_includes do, however, have to be planned by SAP developers

How to read fields of a structure or Table.

Hi,
I had a requirement where i will send a structure/table name into a Form(Subroutine). This form fills an internal table with all the fields in that structure/table .
      Does any one could suggest any programming method to access the field names of structure/table.
      Please don't suggest any database tables, as the structures iam going to send need not exist in database.
     A quick reply is appreciated.
Thanks in Advance,

You can use function REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE to get the field names and attributes.

Table name from field

Dear Sapers,
How to find table name from field name to write functional spec.Pl elaborate it for normal & zdevelopment.Points will be rewarded for useful answer.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Uday,
Just for the sake of help this reply......
You can find the name of tables by using F1 button keeping cursor on the respective field that you want to bring in development. From there you have to move to Technical details through technical details button.
If that field or values are getting saved into some structure then you have to search the right database tables. According to your module many database tables are there (that you can search from sdn.sap.com directly). That totally depends on your report/development that you want to bring in......
In any development deciding the right table for start up ( I mean to say tables that will give you input fields in your FS) is critical, latter you have to search linking tables and have to give logic about how to pass values from what to what field and what to what table..... In this case Transaction code SE11 and SE16 are useful......
This all is slightly confusing and tedious too...... Closely work with you ABAPer to get into many things and have successful development....
Have nice development....
Cheers!

supplieriddomain

Hi SV,
Try this:
1) Go to SE15 (Repository info system)
2) Expand ABAP Dictionary
3) Expand Fields
4) Click on Table Fields
5) Enter the field name you want to search in field name or use wild cards with keywords in short decription field (like supplier ) and Execute.
OR
If it's a screen field, do a F1 on the field and click on Technical information on the help window popped up from Menu..this will tell you the field name along with structure or table name.
Hope this helps you.

Table name and field name for requirements.

I do know table name and field name for Plnd ind. reqmts (PBED-PLNMG)
But I don't know table name and field name for Requirements; it gives the structure tabe
and name only. What table name and field name that hold the qty for Requirements column?
Many thanks in advanced,
Nghiem

2 months ago, you asked a very similar question... and Markus gave you a good answer. His 2-months old answer still applies here.
I recommend that you read it a again at Table name for backorder qty on sales order.
When you have read his answer, please close both threads.

The fields of an structure

Sometimes in a function and in an user-exit there are some parameters that are not defined, it appears only the name in the definition parameters, how can i know the fields of the structure without debugging?,
Thanks in advance

You are absolutely right Rich if you are talking in general terms. But in this specific case, if you give an internal table with any structure other than the structure of the table in the table parameter, it will dump.
It looks like that when you define your operating concern in COPA and define its structure, systems internally generates several tables and structures. Since each company uses different structure, system has no way of passing the structure information to the function module other than the way it did in this function module.
But, if this is not the case and the internal table parameter has no structure, you can pass any internal table to it. It will not give you a systax error but it will give you a dump if internally in the code somewhere, it assumes a particular structure.

How to append fields to the structure rfposxext........

hi all,
i have to append one field i.e.
Credit Representative Group: (Table: KNKK; Field Name: SBGRP)to the standard structure 'rfposxext'.
can anybody suggest me,how to do it?
thanx in advance.

Hi,
Are you talking Web Dynpro? There is a seperate forum for that.
If you are, I believe it is not possible to change structures that you import as a model. (standard structure?)
You can create your own custom structure that contains the model structure + the field you require.
I hope it makes sense.
Good luck!

Reading a field symbol whose structure is dynamic

Hi Experts,
I have used the concept of dynamic internal tables to select data from COSS/COSP for e.g.database tables.Field symbol of type " ANY TABLE" has been used to select data , as the dynamic structure is assigned directly to the field symbol.
To calculate the values of various fields I need to read the this field symbol for diferent line items , but I get a compilation error saying " Key not Found ". I understand that I am not able to read the field symbol because its structure is of type 'ANY TABLE' .How do I read this field symbol ?
The field symbol gets the structure of dynamic internal table as formed initially by using class concept.Is their any way in which I could get the structure of this field symbol or any other way to read it?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Reetwika

Hi Ritwika,
Even if u use the concept if dynamic internal table, u can read the each of the field of ur structure,
if u know the name of the field.
for example:
MATNR being one of the field of internal table
field-symbols : <fs> type any.
loop at <fs_it> into <fs_wa>.
ASSIGN COMPONENT 'MATNR' OF STRUCTURE <fs_wa> to <fs_matnr>.
" in this case matnr field value will be assigned to the field symbol <fs_matnr>, so it can be used further.
endloop.
" do reply if still confused.

Currently I'm trying to access the fields of a structure (called "ls_tbl") dynamicly. The code looks as follows (of course the field symbols are defined correctly ;-):
    ASSIGN lv_f1 TO <lv_f1>.
    ASSIGN lv_f2 TO <lv_f2>.
    lv_pp = ls_tbl-(<lv_f1>).
    lv_pt = ls_tbl-(<lv_f2>).
Unfortunatly I get the following error message:
<<The data object "LS_TBL" does not have a component called "".>>
I really do not understand why ABAP is trying to interpret the field symbol name as a string. Does anybody have a clue how to access the field of ls_tbl with the help of a field symbol?
Many thanks!!!

Hi ,
Please check the below sample code .
data : begin of st_table,
            myfiledname type c value '1',
            myfiledname1 type c value '2',
       end of st_table .
data : lv_filedname(11) type c value 'MYFILEDNAME'
filed-symbols : <fs> type any,
                <fs_table> type any.
assign st_table to <fs_table>.
Assign lv_filedname to <fs> .
assign component <fs> of structure <fs_table> to lv_pp.

Length of a field in a structure

Hi,
Is there any restriction on the length of the field in a structure which is CHAR type ??
Thanks.

Sample

data: begin of s,
      a(65510) type c,
      b(25) type c,
      end of s.
      s-a = 'This is field 1 asdfkljas;dfkja;sldkjf;aslkdjf;alskdjfa' &
            'asdfkajsd;kfjas;dlkfj;aslkdjf;alksjdf;lkasjdf;lasdfasdf' &
            'asdfkljas;dlkfj;askdjf;askjdf;lkasdjf;lkasj thd end'.
      s-b = 'This is field 2'.
      Write:/ s-a.
