RPY_VIFD SAP (Structure of view: Fields) Structure details
Description: Structure of view: Fields
Structure field list including key, data, relationships and ABAP select examples
RPY_VIFD 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 "Structure of view: Fields" 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_RPY_VIFD TYPE RPY_VIFD.
The RPY_VIFD table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Structure of view: Fields data available in SAP. These include VIEWFIELD (ABAP Dictionary: Name of view field), VIFIELDPOS (Position in a repetition group), TABLNAME (Table Name), FIELDNAME (Field Name).. 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. .
