How to find the Table that stores multiple Field values? That’s what ABAPER and Functional does :) in WRICEFF development
Introduction
After working with SAP for more than 15 years and travelling across the Globe for SAP Projects one issue I always use to have how can I keep track of all the SAP Tables associated with different Modules. If you are working as a SAP ABAP Consultant you need to keep the name of tables in your Fingertips. Sometimes this you know from other Experts and sometimes you have to dig it out.
After exploring I found a very easy way to know the Tables that contains all the four fields or Data Element in the same table and has data in it.
SAP is just like an ocean and every droplet is like one SAP Table. This is one of the first program I create in any Project.
I have one request the .1% time you saved while implementing this Blog, help someone in need by doing Service. It can be as simple as playing with a Kid also.
This solution only does Table. I will do another blog for Views also.
Solution
Go to SE38-> Create a Program and Paste this Code.
Here is the Execution. Just to let you know I have Excluded the Table Beginning with ‘/’. If you want to add it just tweak the code.
In the Below example I am looking for tables with these 2 fields/Data Element. EBELN and EBELP
And here is the Result
Lets be adventurous and try with 4 fields
Before this I never knew EKPO has all the above 4 Fields/Data Element.
Below is the Code that probably can fetch some serious Fun Time to learn something more.

Conclusion
This will work for both SAP ECC and SAP S/4 HANA
