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

ALCOMP 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 "Components of Stored Documents" 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_ALCOMP TYPE ALCOMP.

The ALCOMP table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Components of Stored Documents data available in SAP. These include ARC_DOC_ID (SAP ArchiveLink: Document ID), DOC_TYPE (SAP ArchiveLink: Document class), COMPID (Character field of length 60), MIMETYPE (SAP ArchiveLink: Poolinfo/Storage Strategy)..
