SWUELMATTR SAP (Container Element and Attributes (If Object)) Structure details
Description: Container Element and Attributes (If Object)
Structure field list including key, data, relationships and ABAP select examples
SWUELMATTR 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 "Container Element and Attributes (If Object)" 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_SWUELMATTR TYPE SWUELMATTR.
The SWUELMATTR table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Container Element and Attributes (If Object) data available in SAP. These include ELEMENT (Element), VERBTYPE (Verb type (key, attr., method)), EDITORDER (Editing sequence), ISINTERF (Interface object 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. .
