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!

Finding table name from field

Hi,
I have a field name. Now i want to find to which table this field belongs to.
eg: I have field MATNR. Now in my program i want to find to which table this field belongs to.
How can this be done?
Points will be rewarded!!

Ashish Gupta

Hi,
Basically the same field is used in so many tables like mara,marc,mard,vbap...
But for matnr , MARA is the master table.It means entry should be there in mara table .but no need of entry in other tables like mrac,mard,vbap..etc.
But some times this value is picked from other tables also not only from mara to get other corresponding values like storage location or sales order number..etc.
Program may access other tables also depending on requirement.
so just check in the program from which database table this value is getting populated using SELECT stmt .
you can put breakpoint at all the select stmt and debugg the program.you will get noticed from which database table its getting populated and from which table its value getting processed.
Like suppose we use select stmt on vbap to get sales order number and then we goto MARD table to get corresponing storage location.
so finally we will get the value from MARD table.
just i will write simple code .
data:it_mara like mara occurs 0 with header line.
data:it_vbap like vbap occurs 0 with header line.
data:it_mard like mard occurs 0 with header line.
start-of-selection.
select * from mara into table it_mara up to 100 rows.
if not it_mara[] is initial.
select * from mara into table it_vbap
for all entries in it_mara
where matnr = it_mara-matnr.
endif.
if not it_vbap[] is initial.
select * from mard into table it_mard
for all entries in it_vbap
where matnr = it_vbap-matnr.
endif.
loop at it_mard.
write: / it_mard-matnr,it_mard-lgort.
endloop.
so finally we are printing matnr from mard table eventhough matnr exists in mara table also.

Table name from which to extract bank name and swift code by key field as vendor code

Please help with the table name from which we can extract the bank name and swift code of vendors with the key input as vendor numbers

Hello Subhadra, I'm sorry, I should've said join of LFBK and BNKA. The fields for the join will be the bank country(BANKS) and bank key (BANKL).
If you have not found a docu on SQVI already, you can refer to this:
How to create Report by using SQVI
This is how your join should look in BASIS mode, your selection parameter should be vendor code LIFNR; output fields with be bank name BANKA and swift code SWIFT.

Table names for fields from standard extractors

Hello Experts,
I want to know, if there is an easy way to find R/3 table names from extractor fields of standard data sources / extractors.
ROOSOURCE , RSOSFIELDMAP did not help.
Thanks

Hi
find your extract structure name from RSA6 or RSA5 and then go to SE11data type>give your extract structure name and click on 'where used list', then select 'programs'..
You can see the name of the extract programs written by sap.go to the program then you can find the tables and their fields...
Hope it helps up to some extent....
Thanks,

Hi
Table name and field name for accounting and material document in MM

For Goods reciept documents you can search from the tables MKPF-Header: Material Document and MSEG-Document Segment: Material,

For differentiating the Accounting documents in MIRO and MIGO based on posting key and document types for GRN -document key is -WE and for MIRO document is -RE.......
Hope this may help you.....................

SRM 7.0 find transparent table name from Web dynpro Component

Hi ,
I am trying to find the transparent table name from Web dynpro component dictionary structure. I am working in SRM 7.0. Please let me know how to find the transpartent table for a field.
Thanks,
Monica

hi,
your question is very unclear and does not relate to performance.
SRM uses webdynpro ABAP so the recommendation will not help.
Do you need a technical UI element?
Or the application table where the business data of an UI is stored???
If it is the later, then you can use the SQL trace, change to element you are interested in, and trace it. The table should appear in the trace in connection which an UPDATE command. Still a bit cimbersome.

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.

How get all table name from database

hi master
sir
how get all table name from database

The big question is 'why'.
Selecting from view 'dba_tables' will indeed give the list of all tables in the database, but that includes the dictionary tables and the internal tables, and many others that are probably not of interet to a person who needs to ask this question. Besides, the dba_tables view requires access to a DBA account.
There are several other views: "user_tables" will list all the tables in this user's schema; and "all_tables" will list all the tables this user can access in some way.
The above do not, of course, include any information about synonyms, sequences, views, indexes and so on.
The correct answer and the meaningful answer may be two different things.

Getting table name from a query

Hi, I'm trying to get the table name from my sql query
My code is as follows;
ResultSetMetaData metadata = rs.getMetaData();
for (int i = 1; i < metadata.getColumnCount(); i++)
System.out.println(metadata.getTableName(i));
I just get a blank output. Yet my sql query executes and I can pull down the records, and grab the column names from the result sets.
Any ideas on how I can get the table name for the columns. The reason being is on one of my querys I'm using join statements and i need to retrieve the table name for the column i'm displaying, as some tables have similar column names.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
What db are you using?
I also get a blank output with ResultSetMetaData.getTableName because Oracle doesn't implement this method.
Why do you not know the table name anyway?
regards
Nick
