Finding table behind structure 1

mmesford · Sep 9, 2008

Hi, I'm exporting data and keep getting stuck when I run into a structure field. My process is to right-click on the field in question, select 'help' and click the tool icon. Most of the data is in known tables which I can export normally. But often the field is in a structure and I can't export it from SE16. I can click on the table name and hit the Navigate button. After that I can make guesses as to what tables are used but I can't be always be sure I'm getting what I want. Any tips?

Thanks

Mike

I haven't found a 100% method and the one I use isn't easy.
I double-click on a data element. One that is rather unique to the data that you are looking for. Then on that data element, I do a where used. Usually more files that I want appear, but I just weed through the listed files and most of the time find the one I'm looking for.

Hope it helps.
