SAP CME_S_SCOPE CME Definition Scope Table data and field list

CME_S_SCOPE 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 "CME Definition Scope" 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_CME_S_SCOPE TYPE CME_S_SCOPE.

The CME_S_SCOPE table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about CME Definition Scope data available in SAP. These include SCOPE_NAME (Name of Definition Scope (External Key)), USED_IN_DTYPE (Boolean), ROOT_DEF_SCOPE (Root of Definition Scope Hierarchy)...
