OSM_TABLE SAP (Object Services Metadata: Tables) Structure details
Description: Object Services Metadata: Tables
Structure field list including key, data, relationships and ABAP select examples
OSM_TABLE 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 "Object Services Metadata: Tables" 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_OSM_TABLE TYPE OSM_TABLE.
The OSM_TABLE table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Object Services Metadata: Tables data available in SAP. These include CLSNAME (Object Type Name), CMPNAME (Component name), VERSION (Version indicator (active/inactive)), LANGU (Language Key).. 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. .
