Object status - Get description instead of code (J_STATUS) for OBJNR

Question

Hi,
I am modifying a report, in which one of the fields on output is "Object status," which is pulled from table "Jest". The field is called "Stat" and pertains to the specific OBJNR (object number.)
However, the status is a code (5 Char) but the user wants to see a description instead. Where can I get the description data for the status from?
Thanks,
John

Hello,
I think you may be talking about the statuses held in tables TJ02T and TJ30T (4.64).  If yes, here's how we get to them:
     f_system_status     type j_stsma.
     f_user_status         type j_stsma.
    select single c~txt04
      into (f_system_status)
      from equi as a
      join jest as b
        on bobjnr eq aobjnr
      join tj02t as c
        on cistat eq bstat
     where a~sernr = i_old-sernr and
           a~eqtyp = 'I' and
           not b~inact = 'X' and
           c~istat like 'I%' and
           c~spras = 'EN'.
    select single c~txt04
      into (f_user_status)
      from equi as a
      join jest as b
        on bobjnr eq aobjnr
      join tj30t as c
        on cestat eq bstat
     where a~sernr = i_old-sernr and
           a~eqtyp = 'I' and
           not b~inact = 'X' and
           c~stsma eq 'CPS-DEV1' and
           b~stat like 'E%'.
Hope this helps!
