TABLIST SAP (Tables with attributes) Structure details
Description: Tables with attributes
Structure field list including key, data, relationships and ABAP select examples
TABLIST 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 "Tables with attributes" 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_TABLIST TYPE TABLIST.
The TABLIST table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Tables with attributes data available in SAP. These include OBJTYPE (Translation Object Type), SUBTYPE (Translation subtype), TABNAME (Table Name), BSKEY (Definition key for binary search).. 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. .
