Description: DDIC Interface: Structure for Table Fields
Structure field list including key, data, relationships and ABAP select examples
CDIFIE 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 "DDIC Interface: Structure for Table Fields" 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_CDIFIE TYPE CDIFIE.
The CDIFIE table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about DDIC Interface: Structure for Table Fields data available in SAP. These include FIENM (Field Name), USGFL (Use flag), ROLNM (Data element (semantic domain)), DOMNM (Domain name).. 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. .
