SDB_TASKS 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 "SDB: Tasks" 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_TASKS TYPE SDB_TASKS.

The SDB_TASKS table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about SDB: Tasks data available in SAP. These include OS_PID (Natural Number), PROCTYPE (SAP DB: Process Type), APPL_PID (Natural Number), STATE (SDB Process Status).. 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. .
