SAP DTSHTEXT Downtime Schema Text Table data and field list

DTSHTEXT 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 "Downtime Schema Text" 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_DTSHTEXT TYPE DTSHTEXT.

The DTSHTEXT table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Downtime Schema Text data available in SAP. These include DTELI (Downtime Element ID), KAPID (Capacity ID), KAPAR (Capacity category), DTELT (Description of the Downtime Element)... 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. .
