SAP CSLA_EX Activity Types: Maintainable Fields Table data and field list

CSLA_EX 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 "Activity Types: Maintainable Fields" 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_CSLA_EX TYPE CSLA_EX.

The CSLA_EX table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Activity Types: Maintainable Fields data available in SAP. These include KOKRS (Controlling Area), LSTAR (Activity Type), DATBI (Valid To Date), DATAB (Valid-From Date)... 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. .
