SAP RACTIVE_TABLES Tables to Change Table data and field list

RACTIVE_TABLES 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 "Tables to Change" 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_RACTIVE_TABLES TYPE RACTIVE_TABLES.

The RACTIVE_TABLES table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Tables to Change data available in SAP. These include VDBEPP_ACTIVE (Single-Character Indicator), VZZKOPO_ACTIVE (Single-Character Indicator), BSEG_ACTIVE (Single-Character Indicator), VDBOBEPP_ACTIVE (Single-Character Indicator)... 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. .
