SAP COMT_ATTRIBUTE Attribute Table data and field list

COMT_ATTRIBUTE 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 "Attribute" 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_COMT_ATTRIBUTE TYPE COMT_ATTRIBUTE.

The COMT_ATTRIBUTE table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Attribute data available in SAP. These include ATTR_DECIMALS (Number of Allowed Decimal Places for the Attribute), ATTR_GUID (Attribute GUID), ATTR_ID (Attribute), ATTR_LENGTH (Attribute Length)... 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. .
