SETVL 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 "Set Manager Value 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_SETVL TYPE SETVL.

The SETVL table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Set Manager Value Table data available in SAP. These include LINE (Assignment line), LEVEL (Level of the entry), FIELD (Field name), FROM (From Value).. 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. .
