REMIG050 - Migration: Generate Table Description for Programming Language

Use

This program generates source descriptions of tables from the ABAP/4 Dictionary.

Note

The program generates source descriptions from the ABAP/4 Dictionary that are dependent on the input files. This data is displayed on the screen, and can be written to a sequential dataset when you specify the dataset name. In the process, the first "&" is replaced by the table name in lower-case (or the first * is replaced by the table name in upper-case) (for example: "d.cob.&" and table T000 results in "d.cob.t000"; "D.COB.*" results in "D.DOB.T000" as the output dataset). You must ensure that the generated names do not become too large. Inputs in lower-case are not converted to upper-case. If no dataset is specified, the generated sources are displayed or printed.

You can define the set of tables to process by entering a command file name as the table name (the command file then searches for the table names) or by entering an identifier in table TSRCG. You can use C, PL/1, or COBOL as programming languages for the source descriptions.

If gaps exist between individual fields in the ABAP work areas (alignment for certain field types), you can use the "Generate alignment fields" parameter to generate dummy fields for these gaps.
