SWOTRM SAP (Runtime Structure Methods) Structure details
Description: Runtime Structure Methods
Structure field list including key, data, relationships and ABAP select examples
SWOTRM 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 "Runtime Structure Methods" 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_SWOTRM TYPE SWOTRM.
The SWOTRM table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Runtime Structure Methods data available in SAP. These include DESCRIPT (Name), OBJTYPE (Object Type), PROGNAME (Implementation program), FORMNAME (Name of the subroutine).. 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. .
