SAP IBIPTEXT IBIP: Long text line Table data and field list

IBIPTEXT 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 "IBIP: Long text line" 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_IBIPTEXT TYPE IBIPTEXT.

The IBIPTEXT table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about IBIP: Long text line data available in SAP. These include RECORDNAME (IBIP: Name of the Data Transfer Record), TXPARGRAPH (Tag column), TXLINE (Text editor text line), TEXT_MARK (Description Indicator for RIIBIP00 (IBIP) Processing)...
