SAP DICLDAT Characteristic valuation Table data and field list

DICLDAT 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 "Characteristic valuation" 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_DICLDAT TYPE DICLDAT.

The DICLDAT table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Characteristic valuation data available in SAP. These include TABIX (Row Index of Internal Tables), POSNR (Item number), SMBEZ (Characteristic description), ZAEHL (Characteristic value counter)... 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. .
