SAP CHARACTERTEXT_MAINT_UI Structure for Maintaining Set Type CHARACTERTEXT Table data and field list

CHARACTERTEXT_MAINT_UI 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 "Structure for Maintaining Set Type CHARACTERTEXT" 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_CHARACTERTEXT_MAINT_UI TYPE CHARACTERTEXT_MAINT_UI.

The CHARACTERTEXT_MAINT_UI table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Structure for Maintaining Set Type CHARACTERTEXT data available in SAP. These include CLIENT (Client), PRODUCT_GUID (Internal Unique ID of Product), FRAGMENT_TYPE (Internal Key of a Set Type), KEY_GUID (GUID of Differentiation Key (Gen. Link Handler))... 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. .
