SAP E3DEPDC Documentation of dependency Table data and field list

E3DEPDC 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 "Documentation of dependency" 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_E3DEPDC TYPE E3DEPDC.

The E3DEPDC table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Documentation of dependency data available in SAP. These include DEPID (Internal counter for objects in an SCE knowledge base), LINEID (Internal counter for objects in an SCE knowledge base), LANGUAGEID (Language key), TEXTFORM (Tag column)... 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. .
