SAP CEATTACHMENT CE attachment Table data and field list

CEATTACHMENT 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 "CE attachment" 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_CEATTACHMENT TYPE CEATTACHMENT.

The CEATTACHMENT table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about CE attachment data available in SAP. These include KEY_LENGTH (Two digit number), FIELD_NAME (Component name), FIELD_TEXT (Medium Field Label), DATATYPE (Not More Closely Defined Area, Possibly Used for Patchlevels)... 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. .
