Standard Constants
The other day a developer has shown me how to find standard constants that have been created as attributes of global interfaces.
I found that helpfull since sometimes we need to use those constands and because we dont find them, we create a new global constant in a new interface.
In the following example, I will show how to find the class and the attribute of constant ‘BUS2200’, that in SRM is BID Bussines Object.
In transaction SE16, search table VSEOATTRIB with field ATTVALUE = ‘BUS2200’
Then you will see all the the classes and attributes that have that value..
You could do something similar to find the class of a method.
Table VSEOMETHOD field CMPNAME.
Don´t hesitate to contact me for further clarifications…..

Hi Lisandro,
You can achieve the same results and in a more user friendly interface with transaction SE84 ("Repository Information System").
Under "class library" you can search for "methods" and/or "attributes".
Hope it helps.

Hi André,
Thanks for the input.
What you cannot achieve in that transaction is value search: I didnt find how to know the class and attribute of a constant value....

For attributes/constant search you have additional options, like Initial Value search if you click on "all selections" button on the toolbar (the button with a + sign) or press Shift+F9.

André.
Thanks for the advice.
I definitely will use that transaction.
