SAP POC_LOG_DATA Data for Entry in Event Log Table data and field list

POC_LOG_DATA 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 "Data for Entry in Event Log" 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_POC_LOG_DATA TYPE POC_LOG_DATA.
