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

SWI_OBJECT 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 "Generic objects in work item container" 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_SWI_OBJECT TYPE SWI_OBJECT.

The SWI_OBJECT table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Generic objects in work item container data available in SAP. These include OBJ_TYP_IN (Type of Objects in Persistent Object References), OBJ_TYP_EX (Name), OBJ_KEY_IN (Instance Ident. in BOR Compat. Persistent Object References), OBJ_KEY_EX (Character 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. .
