SAP BAPI_BLINK ALE connection using BAPI Table data and field list

BAPI_BLINK 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 "ALE connection using BAPI" 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_BAPI_BLINK TYPE BAPI_BLINK.

The BAPI_BLINK table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about ALE connection using BAPI data available in SAP.
