SAP BDT_PARAMS BDT Parameters Table data and field list

BDT_PARAMS 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 "BDT Parameters" 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_BDT_PARAMS TYPE BDT_PARAMS.

The BDT_PARAMS table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about BDT Parameters data available in SAP. These include ACTION (BDT activity), APPLI_CALL (Application), VARNR (BDT: Screen sequence), VARTP (BDT: Screen Sequence Category)... 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. .
