Structure field list including key, data, relationships and ABAP select examples

HDB_TRACING 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 "Tracing" 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_HDB_TRACING TYPE HDB_TRACING.

The HDB_TRACING table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Tracing data available in SAP. These include LABEL_GLOBAL_DB_TRACE (Text, 40 Characters Long), SQL_TRACE (Text (20 Characters)), LABEL_SQL_TRACE (Text, 40 Characters Long), DB_TRACE (Text (20 Characters)).. 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. .
