Structure field list including key, data, relationships and ABAP select examples

AFMHD is a standard SAP Structure so does not store data like a database table does. It can be used to define the fields of other actual tables or to process "AFM header" Information within sap ABAP programs.

This is done by declaring abap internal tables, work areas or database tables based on this Structure. These can then be used to store and process the required data appropriately.

i.e. DATA: wa_AFMHD TYPE AFMHD.

The AFMHD table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about AFM header data available in SAP. These include TDFONTSIZE (Font attribute: font size in 1/10 point), TDBOLD (Font attribute bold type), TDITALIC (Font attribute italic), TDULPOSM (Underline height (units per em)).. See below for full list along with technical details, documentation, text table, check tables, foreign key relationships, conversion routines, relevant tcodes and example ABAP select code etc. .
