Hi,

For all the basic types , WE31 display table is not displaying the field description.it is displaying all other fields like postion,field name, data element,etc.

But it is not showing field description, intially it used to show, but could not see it any more.

Please let me know the setting to retrive it back.

thankyou,

Ravi

Did some research but couldn't find the clue.

One observation I made is description appears if component is assigned with 'component type' while creating a structure in SE11. If the field is component is assigned with 'predefined type' then no description appears. So clear on structure part but there is no such option while creating segments in WE31. (Does not know how SAP created segments with predefined types/ Similar to how transaction code SE93 is created ).

By the way, use WE60 to know the detailed information of Basic types/segments.

Hello,

Please check with function module SEGMENT_READ_COMPLETE to get details of the description . Because this the latest release FM instead of IDOC_COMPLETE_SEGMENT_READ.

Previously the structure was used for filling the actual IDoc, So, that had to consist only of character-type fields. Previously, there were segment definition and documentation which gave us relevant information about segment.

Now things has been changed.

Thanks & Regards,

Abhijit
