Tabel fields

How to get the number of fields of any DB table programmatically in the SAP environment of whether it is SAP table or custom table?
Is there any table to store such a criteria?
I Appreciate your help. thanks

Here is a short sample program.
report zrich_0003.
data: ifields type table of dfies with header line.
data: no_of_fields type i.
parameters: p_table type ddobjname.
call function 'DDIF_FIELDINFO_GET'
     exporting
          tabname        = p_table
     tables
          dfies_tab      = ifields
     exceptions
          not_found      = 1
          internal_error = 2
          others         = 3.
describe table ifields lines no_of_fields.
write:/ p_table, 'has', no_of_fields, 'fields'.

Qualified table

Dear all,
I have a requirement, for a single vendor record need to maintain multiple License details.
ie., main table 'Vendor' will hold Vendor record and each vendor record may have multiple License's. Do i maintain the license table as 'multivalued' Qualified flat. If yes how do i link vendor and License tables and what field properties do i need to set.
ex: a field as qualified/non-qualifier ?
Sonali

Hi Sonali,
Vendor ID, Vendor Name, Description can be placed in the main table Vendor.
License Number, Date, Description can be placed in the Qualified table with the License number as NQ and the determining fields ie Date and Description as Qualifiers.
Now When you do mapping of the Qualified table you will be bale to see only the non qualifier fields there.Map those fields with the main table fields and import in the Qualified table.
Now when you perform the main table mapping you will be able to see the Qualifiers as well as the non qualifiers fields and the lookup qualified field as well.
Firstly map all the main table fields such as Vendor ID, Vendor Name and Description then map the qualified tabel fields this will establish the mapping between the main table nad the qualified tabel records.
Follow this below link which will explain you better on qualified atbel mapping:

Hope It Helped

2LIS_11_VAHDR-CX_SY_IMPORT_MISMATCH_ERROR

hi gurus,
I posted a more or less query few days back but was not able to get to the solution thne but now it has become critical then. I am extracting 2LIS_11_VAHDR using RSA3.
The same function and the extractor is working fine in develoment and fetching records but in Q§A it gives me a short dump and error as follows:
when importing object mc11VA0HDR_TAB structure did not match the target structure . Error occured in component no 49. possible reasons are
1 structure is actually different.
2 same sequence of components were exported and imported but from different include units.
Now i have compared versions of testing and develoment and i find that everything is same.
can you please suggest me if u have faced like nething this before?
thanks in advance,
Gaurav

Hi,
I think you have added some Z fields in your Strut MC
and the Currecny field is refering to some other structure currency field.
go to structure MC11VA0HDR
then in Currency/quantity fields..check whether it is
reference tabel field
MC11VA0HDR WAERK

For All Entries..........with inner loop. good or bad ?

Hello Friends,
i am using 3 tables VBAK, VBAP and KNA1.
for that i have created 3 internal tables named IT_VBAK, IT_VBAPand IT_KNA1.
I have created SQL queries using FOR ALL ENTRIES.
now i want to use AT NEW on KUNNR (KAN1 tabel field)
So, for that i have to use 3 internal table loops ??
Sujjest me idea by giving example !Thanks in advance !!

yes we can use both
if not it_matnr[] is initial.
select amatnr bmaktx into table it_itab from
        mara as a inner join
        makt as b on
        amatnr = bmatnr
        for all entries in it_matnr
        where a~matnr = it_matnr-matnr.
endif
1. in the innerjoin system will hit the databasa one time.. then fetch the data..for the tables u have joined... when u use the join make sure the query shold not effect the performance.. try to paas all the primary key values.. then link the tables using the complete primary...
2. when u use the FOR ALL ENTRIES.. the system will retrive all the records which matches the FIELDS which u r refering in the Internal tabel... while using the FOR ALL ENTRIES.. creal the duplicate entries.. other wise it select the record more number of time at data base level... but u will get the entries properly

How to list "Tabel Name,Tabel Description, Field Name, Field Description...

Dear All,
I'm trying to produce a list , using query , to produce the following list:
Table Name, T.Description, Field Name, F.Description, FieldType, Length
I use DD02L, DD02T and DD03L, DD03T.
Somehow - I dont get the same results as I see in the SE16, or SE11. Especially I mis some descriptions on filed level, and I do see them in the SE11.
Using a query, save effort of exporting the DD for evry table sepratlly.
This is strange.
Your help is greatly Appriciated.
Kind Regards,
Doron Zaccai

Helle Andreas, and all Others,
Thanks very mucht for the input!
The DD03M has the:
Tabel name, Field Name, Field Description, Type, Length, Decimals
Table description is abscent.
I have joind the DD02T, (Tabelname, and language).
And now I have all of them.
Thank you all very much.
I will try the FM mentioned, in the mentioned program. And will report on the result.

Please check table SOST. MSGV1 field might hold this info.

BDT add fields to standard SAP tabel on BP screen

With this email I would like to report a problem I have with the BDT to show extra fields on a table control in the businesspartner masterdata. I hope you can help me and tell me what I am doing wrong or why I cannot show these new fields.
The SAP Module is FS-CS (Commissions). On the businesspartner there is a tab screen with contractdetails. We want to add two new Z-fields to the table control and we have added these fields to an append structure in the CACS_CTRTBU table. I have put the extra fields to a new fieldgroup and put the fieldgroups on a new view added the view on a new section, defined a new screen and finally added the screen to a new screen sequence. The original screen has now been replaced with the new screen with the extra fields.
In the screenpainter I defined a new screen for the new view by copying the original function group of the original screen together with all functionmodules. I added the new fields of the newly defined fieldgroup to this screen.
I registered the new functionmodules for the events ISSTA, ISDAT and ISDST in customizing for the new defined application.
Within the programme there is a structure used called CACS_S_BUPA1. I have added the 2 new field also to this structure.
If I look in my sourcecode in the PBO then I see that the internal table has stored the values of the new fields together with the values of the original fields.
Still if the screen comes up, the values for the new field are not shown and the old(orignal fields) are shown. The new headers and colomns in the table control for the new fields are visible.
Do you have any idea what the problem might be ?
Kind regards,
Peter Jonker

Thanks for your reply, the tip of the fieldgroup has helped me and my colleague who also had a BDT problem, his problem was that changes on fieldgroup level were not saved. Once he changed to the range 6xx with his fieldgroup the problem was solved.
My problem has been solved too, although I am not sure if it had anything to do with changing the range of the fieldgroups, it probably did.
I had done the whole designing from scratch again, but this time using fieldgroups in the range 6xx. Now it works fine.
Strange thing is that in the SAP Help it says to use fieldgroups in the range 600- 799, while the 7xx range will give you problems. The 900 range, as you suggested, also gave problems. In our case the 6xx range was the right one to use

No key field found for creation of DataSource - Classification Datasource

Hello,
While trying to create a clasiffication datasource based on 0PLANT_ATTR, when i assign a characteristic and push the DataSource button, i get the following message:
No key field found for creation of DataSource
Diagnosis
During generation of a classification or configuration DataSource, only those key fields for the object table (field "Obj.Tabelle") that are already present in the basis DataSource transferred to the extract structure. This is the case when none of the key fields of the object table were found in the structure of the basis DataSource.
System response
A DataSource cannot be created without key fields. The action was cancelled.
Procedure
Check whether you have selected the correct basis DataSource and object table. For more information, please see SAP Note 569849.
Do you know what can be the problem?
Thank you and regards

Hi Alberto,
plants are a special case. The key which is used for the classification
of plants (object type BETR) is not the same as the key which is used in
datasource 0PLANT_ATTR.
BETR has key LOCNR (Site). That's a customer related to a plant. The
customer number will be extracted in field LOCNR.
0PLANT_ATTR extracts the plant in its key field WERKS.
Transaction CTBW and the generic extraction program for classifications
don't know the relationship between LOCNR and WERKS. So they cannot map
them.
I do recommend a solution which would add the mapping between
LOCNR and WERKS:
1. Create please the classification datasource as intended, but use
datasource 0RT_LOC_MGR_ATTR as basis datasource. It's the only
datasource of the content where LOCNR is a key field. So
0RT_LOC_MGR_ATTR is used as a dummy here, to allow transaction CTBW to
create the classification datasource. It's not necessary to extract
data with datasource 0RT_LOC_MGR_ATTR.
2. Extend please the extract structure of the created classification
datasource. Add please field WERKS using component type WERKS_D. Make
this field visible.
3. Fill field WERKS in the extractor user exit EXIT_SAPLRSAP_002. WERKS
can be read from table KNA1 by using the customer number extracted to
LOCNR to select on field KNA1-KUNNR.
4. Transaction CTBW_META on the BW system isn't able to append the
characteristics from the classification datasource to infosource
0PLANT, because the keys are different. So create please a new info
source with CTBW_META. This allows CTBW_META to create the info objects
for the characteristics used in the classification datasource.
5. Add please the characteristics used in the classification datasource
to infosource 0PLANT manually. You will find the info object names of
the characteristics by looking up the characteristic datasources which
are assigned to the classification datasource in transaction CTBW. From
these names you can derive the info object names:
1CL_A... -> C_A...
6. Disconnect the infosource which has been created with CTBW_META from
the classification datasource.
7. Connect please the classification datasource to infosource 0PLANT
Use following info object:
info object   field
0PLANT       WERKS
The info object names for the characteristics are explained in step 5.
8. Add an infopackage to infosource 0PLANT for the classification
datasource.
Now the extraction of classifications of sites should work.
Best regards,
Rolf
P.S. I saw the system messed it up and doesn't display any new and empty lines. Sorry, I hope you still can read it.
