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

SDB_TABLE_DISPLAY 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 "Display Table" 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_SDB_TABLE_DISPLAY TYPE SDB_TABLE_DISPLAY.

The SDB_TABLE_DISPLAY table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Display Table data available in SAP. These include STATEMENT (SAP DB: DBMServer command), NUMBER_LINES (Natural Number), LABEL_LINES (Char 15), DISP_LINES (Replacement for Real Boolean Type: 'X' == True '' == False).. 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. .
