SAM_SEGMENT SAP (SAM Segment Structure) Structure details
Description: SAM Segment Structure
Structure field list including key, data, relationships and ABAP select examples
SAM_SEGMENT 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 "SAM Segment Structure" 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_SAM_SEGMENT TYPE SAM_SEGMENT.
The SAM_SEGMENT table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about SAM Segment Structure data available in SAP. These include SEGMENT_NAME (SAM segment name), CORE_SCHEMA_NAME (SAM Schema Name), ESR_NAME (SAM ESR name), ESR_NAMESPACE (SAM ESR namespace).. 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. .
