Structure field list including key, data, relationships and ABAP select examples

DD08VD 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 "Version display: foreign key" 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_DD08VD TYPE DD08VD.

The DD08VD table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Version display: foreign key data available in SAP. These include FIELDNAME (Name of the field to be checked), DDTEXT (Explanatory short text), INHERITED (Flag: Foreign key inherited from included table), FRKART (Dependency factor for semantic foreign keys).. 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. .
