SAP GMLIFECYCLE List of lifecycle statuses Table data and field list

GMLIFECYCLE 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 "List of lifecycle statuses" 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_GMLIFECYCLE TYPE GMLIFECYCLE.

The GMLIFECYCLE table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about List of lifecycle statuses data available in SAP.
