Key Flex Field Structures & How to Retrieve Information about segments based on code combination id

How to fetch meanings of each segment related to a code combination id? To fetch the details like description, meaning, id and value related to each segment based on code combination id. Tables related to Flexi fields: FN FN FN FN FN !" !F#$%& !" !F#$%!&$'($NT& !" !F#$%!&T)*+T*)$& !F#$%!,-#*$& !F#$%!,-#*$!H"$)-)+H"$&

Between KFF and DFF in Oracle !!s

KFF " Key flex field
3. ;hich builds uni/ue entit0 identifiers. 2. "t is used to capture the compan0 ke0 information. 3. <FF9s data are stored in the segments. 4. <FF9s BJ segment columns are reserved for <FF9s4but it is not mandator0 "t is based on the re/uirement5.

DFF " Descri!tive flex field

3. To sore the additional information. 2. "t is used to capture extra info from end user without changing form code and without altering database table. 3. FF9s data are stored in the -ttributes.

4. "n apps 3G attribute columns are reserved for the FF9s data.
