Get the data types of all fields in a table

[Former Member]

Hi,

I would like to develop a program which given a table name, returns all its fields and their types.

If a certain type is a structure, I need to get its elements, as well, and their types.

I'm aware of the function ddif_fieldinfo_get which returns the data types of all fields in a certain table, but it doesn't handle complex data types of structures like I need...

Does someone have any idea or reference for me?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

May be this would help

DATA: gcl_abap_structdescr TYPE REF TO cl_abap_structdescr,
          gt_ddicinfo         TYPE ddfields,
          wa_dfies             TYPE dfies.

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <ddic_info> TYPE LINE OF ddfields.

gcl_abap_structdescr ?= cl_abap_structdescr=>describe_by_name( 'BKPF' ).

gt_ddicinfo = gcl_abap_structdescr->get_ddic_field_list( ).

LOOP AT gt_ddicinfo INTO wa_dfies.
   WRITE: wa_dfies-tabname, wa_dfies-fieldname, wa_dfies-position.
ENDLOOP..

Cheers,

Daniel,

Not sure if you are still following this.

Did you upload your document someplace that you can share it?

I don't see it in your post. Also the link Kiran gave below, says access restricted. Thanks jay
