SAP GRPHINFO Interface structure: Group maintenance (info for hierarchy) Table data and field list

GRPHINFO 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 "Interface structure: Group maintenance (info for hierarchy)" 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_GRPHINFO TYPE GRPHINFO.

The GRPHINFO table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Interface structure: Group maintenance (info for hierarchy) data available in SAP. These include STABLE (Table for set), NODELENGTH (Level of the entry), VAL_LENGTH (Level of the entry), MAX_LEVEL (Level of the entry)... 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. .
