SAP WCSVALCTRL WCM: Valid From/Valid To (Settings) Table data and field list

WCSVALCTRL 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: Valid From/Valid To (Settings)" 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_WCSVALCTRL TYPE WCSVALCTRL.

The WCSVALCTRL table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about WCM: Valid From/Valid To (Settings) data available in SAP.
