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

ALSMSGTYPE 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: Single Message Type + Rc" 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_ALSMSGTYPE TYPE ALSMSGTYPE.

The ALSMSGTYPE table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Alert: Single Message Type + Rc data available in SAP. These include MTSYSID (Name of SAP System), MTMCNAME (Alert: Name of Monitoring Context), MTNUMRANGE (Alert: monitoring type number range (perm., temp, ...)), MTUID (ALert: Unique Identifier for Monitoring Types (used in TID)).. 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. .
