ALGENALERT 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 "Alert: general alert structure (expanded message text)" 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_ALGENALERT TYPE ALGENALERT.

The ALGENALERT table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Alert: general alert structure (expanded message text) data available in SAP. These include ALSYSID (Name of SAP System), MSEGNAME (Alert: Name of Monitoring Segment), ALUNIQNUM (Alert: Unique Identifier to be used in AID (char10)), ALINDEX (Alert: internal handle).. 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. .
