SAP ESH_S_REQUEST_ATTRIBUTE Request Attribut Table data and field list

ESH_S_REQUEST_ATTRIBUTE 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 "Request Attribut" 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_REQUEST_ATTRIBUTE TYPE ESH_S_REQUEST_ATTRIBUTE.

The ESH_S_REQUEST_ATTRIBUTE table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Request Attribut data available in SAP. These include DESCRIPTION (Readable Name), TYPE (ABAP/4 Dictionary: Screen data type for Screen Painter), INT_TYPE (ABAP data type (C,D,N,...)), CONVERSION_EXIT_ID (Conversion Exit)... 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. .
