SWF_CLSMTH 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 "Workflow: Object Type, Class Name, Method" 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_SWF_CLSMTH TYPE SWF_CLSMTH.

The SWF_CLSMTH table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Workflow: Object Type, Class Name, Method data available in SAP. These include CLASS_NAME (Object Type Name), METHODNAME (Full Component Name), IS_STATIC (Workflow: Static Method), AUTOSTART (Flag for method type)..
