Structure field list including key, data, relationships and ABAP select examples
SPAR_N_A 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 "Parameter Storage: Target Structure for Read Join" 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_SPAR_N_A TYPE SPAR_N_A.
The SPAR_N_A table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Parameter Storage: Target Structure for Read Join data available in SAP. These include OBJNAME (Name of Dictionary Type), REFOBJ (Name of Dictionary Type), REFERENCE (Name of Dictionary Type), OBJTYPE (Table category).. 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. .
