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

SWL_WL 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 "Attributes of the User's Work List" 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_SWL_WL TYPE SWL_WL.

The SWL_WL table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Attributes of the User's Work List data available in SAP. These include CLIENT (Client), WI_ID (Work item ID), WI_TYPE (Work item type), WI_CREATOR (Creator of a work item).. 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. .
