WFNV SAP (Workflow: Table not to be used (only LIKE definition)) Structure details
Description: Workflow: Table not to be used (only LIKE definition)
Structure field list including key, data, relationships and ABAP select examples
WFNV 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 "Workflow: Table not to be used (only LIKE definition)" 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_WFNV TYPE WFNV.
The WFNV table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Workflow: Table not to be used (only LIKE definition) data available in SAP. These include ENQMODE (Lock mode), ENTPOS (Position of first entry displayed in list), ENTSUM (Total entries in list), FLAG (Workflow: Flag data element (' ','X') for WFNU)..
