Structure field list including key, data, relationships and ABAP select examples

SAT_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 "Attribute Repository Tables" 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_SAT_TABLES TYPE SAT_TABLES.

The SAT_TABLES table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Attribute Repository Tables data available in SAP. These include OBJTYP (Object type of a reference object for attribute store), SUBTYP (Subgroup of object types in the attribute repository), ATTRTYP (Attribute type for attribute store), USE_TOOL (How is the tool used?).. 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. .
