SAP VCTXT_KEY Table Prepared for Variant Conditions Table data and field list

VCTXT_KEY 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 "Table Prepared for Variant Conditions" 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_VCTXT_KEY TYPE VCTXT_KEY.
