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

SWOTOT 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 "Object type information for OLE server" 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_SWOTOT TYPE SWOTOT.

The SWOTOT table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Object type information for OLE server data available in SAP. These include ELEMENT (Element), ELEMLENGTH (Length of the field in bytes), TYPE (ABAP Type of element), REFOBJTYPE (Reference obj. type).. 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. .
