SWLWL_EDIT 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 "Help Structure for the Data for Manipulating the 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_SWLWL_EDIT TYPE SWLWL_EDIT.

The SWLWL_EDIT table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Help Structure for the Data for Manipulating the Work List data available in SAP.
