Structure field list including key, data, relationships and ABAP select examples
DCTX031L 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 "DD: Nametab fields with expanded flags" 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_DCTX031L TYPE DCTX031L.
The DCTX031L table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about DD: Nametab fields with expanded flags data available in SAP. These include POSITION (Position number of table field), KEYFLAG (Identifies a key field of a table), SIGNFLAG (Flag for sign in numerical fields), LOWERCASE (Lowercase letters allowed/not allowed).. 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. .
