EMGGEN SAP (General Fields) Structure details
Description: General Fields
Structure field list including key, data, relationships and ABAP select examples
EMGGEN 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 "General Fields" 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_EMGGEN TYPE EMGGEN.
The EMGGEN table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about General Fields data available in SAP. These include WMODE (Processing Mode (1 = Display, 2 = Change, 3 = Create...)), DB_UPDATE (Database Updated (X) or not (SPACE)), OKCODE (Function Code), UPD_ONLINE (Update Online).. 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. .
