VMP_S_INSTANCE 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 "Instance list" 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_VMP_S_INSTANCE TYPE VMP_S_INSTANCE.

The VMP_S_INSTANCE table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Instance list data available in SAP.
