SAP WCSHEADER WCM: I/O General Header Data Table data and field list

WCSHEADER 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 "WCM: I/O General Header Data" 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_WCSHEADER TYPE WCSHEADER.

The WCSHEADER table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about WCM: I/O General Header Data data available in SAP.
