PCOM SAP (Interface to Forecasting) Structure details
Description: Interface to Forecasting
Structure field list including key, data, relationships and ABAP select examples
PCOM 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 "Interface to Forecasting" 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_PCOM TYPE PCOM.
The PCOM table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Interface to Forecasting data available in SAP. These include MODAW (Model Selection Indicator), MODAV (Model selection procedure), KZPAR (Indicator for parameter optimization), OPGRA (Optimization level).. 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. .

How do I retrieve data from SAP structure PCOM using ABAP code?
As PCOM is a database structure and not a table it does not store any data in the SAP data dictionary. The ABAP SELECT statement is therefore not appropriate and can not be performed on PCOM as there is no data to select.How to access SAP table PCOM
