SAP CEFLD CO-PA field table (additions to dictionary attributes) Table data and field list

CEFLD 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 "CO-PA field table (additions to dictionary attributes)" 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_CEFLD TYPE CEFLD.

The CEFLD table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about CO-PA field table (additions to dictionary attributes) data available in SAP. These include USGFL (Use flag), TIMFL (Flag: Field with time dimension), CHFIE (Check table), FIXVL (Constant (value of characteristic))... 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. .
