SAP ESH_S_IF_SCOPE Scope of Search Request Table data and field list

ESH_S_IF_SCOPE 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 "Scope of Search Request" 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_ESH_S_IF_SCOPE TYPE ESH_S_IF_SCOPE.

The ESH_S_IF_SCOPE table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Scope of Search Request data available in SAP. These include CATEGORY_ID (Category), SEARCH_CONNECTOR_ID (Search Connector ID), REQUEST_TYPE_ID (Request Type ID), KEYWORD (Keyword)... 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. .
