EDI_DC SAP (Control record for the interface to the EDI subsystem) Structure details
Description: Control record for the interface to the EDI subsystem
Structure field list including key, data, relationships and ABAP select examples
EDI_DC 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 "Control record for the interface to the EDI subsystem" 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_EDI_DC TYPE EDI_DC.
The EDI_DC table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Control record for the interface to the EDI subsystem data available in SAP. These include MANDT (Client), DOCNUM (IDoc number), DOCREL (SAP Release for IDoc), STATUS (Status of IDoc).. 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. .
