SAP ICL_FCODE Function Code with Text Table data and field list

ICL_FCODE 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 "Function Code with Text" 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_ICL_FCODE TYPE ICL_FCODE.

The ICL_FCODE table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Function Code with Text data available in SAP. These include TEXT (Comment), SUBOBJCAT (Claim Subobject Category), SUBOBJECT (Claim Subobject)... 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. .
