SAP RDATE_RANGE Range for Date Values Table data and field list

RDATE_RANGE 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 "Range for Date Values" 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_RDATE_RANGE TYPE RDATE_RANGE.

The RDATE_RANGE table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Range for Date Values data available in SAP. These include OPTION (Type of OPTION component in row type of a Ranges type), LOW (Field of type DATS), HIGH (Field of type DATS)... 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. .
