SAP MDSES_SET_CREATE create structure for set Table data and field list

MDSES_SET_CREATE 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 "create structure for set" 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_MDSES_SET_CREATE TYPE MDSES_SET_CREATE.

The MDSES_SET_CREATE table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about create structure for set data available in SAP. These include SUBCLASS_TEXT (), SETNAME (Set Name), DESCRIPT (Short description of a set), SUFFIX (Suffix for Copying Groups)... 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. .
