LPAHI SAP (Work area for parameter history) Structure details
Description: Work area for parameter history
Structure field list including key, data, relationships and ABAP select examples
LPAHI 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 "Work area for parameter history" 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_LPAHI TYPE LPAHI.
The LPAHI table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Work area for parameter history data available in SAP. These include HOSTNAME (Host Name), SYSTEMID (SAP System ID), PARDATE (Date parameter was changed), PARSTATE (State of parameter (original, changed, active)).. 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. .
