SAP GRFN_S_API_PROCESS_DATA API structure of Process( detail information ) Table data and field list

GRFN_S_API_PROCESS_DATA 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 "API structure of Process( detail information )" Information within sap ABAP programs.
