RSDS_S_FIELDS 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 "Field Properties with Position" 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_RSDS_S_FIELDS TYPE RSDS_S_FIELDS.

The RSDS_S_FIELDS table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Field Properties with Position data available in SAP.
