SAP TIMEFRAME_WPS Timeframe (Start/End; Date/Time) Table data and field list

TIMEFRAME_WPS 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 "Timeframe (Start/End; Date/Time)" 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_TIMEFRAME_WPS TYPE TIMEFRAME_WPS.

The TIMEFRAME_WPS table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Timeframe (Start/End; Date/Time) data available in SAP. These include STARTTIME (Time), ENDDATE (Date), ENDTIME (Time)...
