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

SEOTYPE 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 "Type of an attribute or a parameter" 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_SEOTYPE TYPE SEOTYPE.

The SEOTYPE table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Type of an attribute or a parameter data available in SAP. These include TYPE (Associated Type of an Interface Parameter), TABLEOF (Table indicator), SRCROW1 (Number of source line where token appears (>= 1)), SRCCOLUMN1 (Column position of token (>= 0)).. 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. .
