DXFIELDS SAP (Data Transfer Fields) Structure details
Description: Data Transfer Fields
Structure field list including key, data, relationships and ABAP select examples
DXFIELDS 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 "Data Transfer Fields" 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_DXFIELDS TYPE DXFIELDS.
The DXFIELDS table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Data Transfer Fields data available in SAP. These include ALEINB (ALE Inbound Function Module), REPORT (Data transfer report), FUNCTION (Function module), BIREPORT (Batch Input Program).. 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. .
