DML_S_FIELD_INFO 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 "Metadata for Field" 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_DML_S_FIELD_INFO TYPE DML_S_FIELD_INFO.
The DML_S_FIELD_INFO table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Metadata for Field data available in SAP. These include POSITION (Dummy for B20 int1 (Local Everywhere)), KEYFLAG (Boolean), REFTABLE (Reference field for currency and qty fields), REFFIELD (Table for reference field).. 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. .
