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

SPFYTAB 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 "System parameters: Buffer, memory, processes" 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_SPFYTAB TYPE SPFYTAB.

The SPFYTAB table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about System parameters: Buffer, memory, processes data available in SAP. These include STOALL (Total memory requirements of application server (approx.)), STOWP (Total memory required for work processes in MB (approx.)), STOBUF (Total memory requirements for buffer in MB (approx.)), STOPXA (Size of ABAP program buffer in KB).. 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. .
