Description: MS SQL Server task description (as from msdb..systasks)
Structure field list including key, data, relationships and ABAP select examples
MSSTASK 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 "MS SQL Server task description (as from msdb..systasks)" 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_MSSTASK TYPE MSSTASK.
The MSSTASK table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about MS SQL Server task description (as from msdb..systasks) data available in SAP. These include TASKNAME (MS SQL Server task name), SUBSYSTEM (MS SQL Server subsystem used for a SQL task), SERVER (MS SQL Server server to be used for a SQL task execution), USERNAME (MS SQL Server user name).. 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. .
