SAP COMT_PRCATH Product Category (History) Table data and field list

COMT_PRCATH 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 "Product Category (History)" 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_PRCATH TYPE COMT_PRCATH.

The COMT_PRCATH table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Product Category (History) data available in SAP.
