Structure and Table

Dear Friends,
Can somebody explain the difference between Table and Structure. In release procedure customisation, we define CEKKO structure (instead of table name) and field as BSART, WHY?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
The structure is a flat "structure", so it can't be used to stored the data, but only to manage the variable, so to define a work area for a program, for the dynpro or to define the parameters of the interface of the functions or the methods.
U can include a structure in a table: so this table'll have the same "structure" of the structure (or a part of the "structure" of the table is like the structure).
So the structure ia an easy way to organize severals data belonging to the same business.

Differrences between structure and table in data dictionary in ABAP?

What is the differrences between structure and table in data dictionary in ABAP?
are they same?

Tables :
1. The place where the data is stored so that you can retrieve at any time.
2. There can be more than one record stored
Structures :
1. The data / info stays only during the runtime of the application and will not get stored at all during the run time ....
2. Only one record can be stored at the runtime .....
A structure forms the skeleton of the table.
A structure comprises components i.e., fields. Types are defined for the components A component can refer to an elementary type (via a data element or by directly specifying the data type and length in the structure definition), another structure or a table type. A structure can therefore be nested to any depth
Tables can be defined independently of the database in the ABAP Dictionary. The fields of the table are defined with their (database-independent) data types and lengths.
When the table is activated, a physical table definition is created in the database for the table definition stored in the ABAP Dictionary. The table definition is translated from the ABAP Dictionary to a definition of the particular database.

Extractor andExtract structure and table Relation

Hi All,
Is there any system table which provides the Datasource/Extractor/ Extract
structure and table Relation Information.
For ex:
Data source 2LIS_02_ITM uses following tables for data
EKKO
EKPO

Hi Murali,
I'm not really sure if there exists a table to give the information that you've asked for...
Let me to tell you something to find out the tables referred in a datasource.
Execute your datasource in RSA3 in Debug mode. This will give you the details of the tables used by that datasource.

Difference between Info structure and Table

Hi Friends
I need to know difference between info structure and table (updating a table using a scheduled program),Which one of this is better and why?
Please help me to get the Pros and Cons of the two available approach.

Hi,
No different, these are just transparent tables like any other. You can select data from them the same as any other transparent table.

Extract structure and table

Hi Experts,
How to know the fields of a extract structure are populated data from which tables?
Thanks,
Bill

Hi,
Datasource / tables in the source system
Go to RSA2 (DS Repository) in your source system and display your source system.
If Extraction Method is 'V' - you are lucky and you see table name where data is taken from.
If it is F* - function module is used, and you have to go thru its code to see all the tables it uses and logic how data is
processed.
Ext. Meth   Short text
V                 Transparent Table or DB View
D                  Fixed Domain Value
F1                Function Module (Complete Interface)
F2                Function Module (Simple Interface)
Q                 Extraction Using ABAP Query
A                 DataSource Append
or
Table ROOSOURCE in ERP.
Relevant fields EXMETHOD, EXTRACTOR.
IF EXMETHOD = V, EXTRACTOR is view or tablename
IF EXMETHOD = D, EXTRACTOR is name of domain
IF EXMETHOD = F1, F2 EXTRACTOR is name of FM
IF EXMETHOD = Q EXTRACTOR is name of Info set
OR
Since you have the extract structure and the extractor, you must have some transaction like the Extractor Checker RSA3. If so
then execute ST05, switch on the trace and execute the extractor checker. Once the extractor checker presents the results
switch off trace. The clcik on Display trace and you will see all the tables that were hit by the extractor checker to
retrieve data and present it to you.

Waht are differances etweent structures and tables

plz answer this questions

Hi,
Basiclly, a structure does not have data and table does. A structure is a set of fields, and you can access that fields in your program using:
structure-field1 = value1.
structure-fiels2 = value2.
structure-fieldn = valuen.
So, you can not access an structure by SE16, it's not make sense. You can view the definitions of structure using SE11 transaction.
Also, structures cannot store group of records But it can able to hold a SINGLE record.
Whereas,
SAP table is a place where the data can be stored which uses any SAP structure.

Mass structure and table Inconsistencies after upgrade

Hi all,
I'm on an upgrade project upgrading system from R/3 4.6 to SAP ECC 6.0 EHP4. After the upgrade, apparently there's a mass inconsistencies that happen in the table. There's at least 1000 table which can be activated because of this inconsistencies between runtime and DDIC based on the checking run using program RUTMSJOB.
I've tried applying note 1248769 but it does not fix the problem. I've also tried the mass checking and activation feature of report RUTMSJOB which also does not fix the problem.
Has anybody encounter this problem before? What's your solution on this problem?
Here's the pic of the condition of the table in my SE11
http://img683.imageshack.us/i/64131370.jpg/
Here's the inconsistencies which is found:

Kindly note that the same error happen even after I implement the note correction 1248769.
Thanks

Hello Suwardi,
please inform which actions you took in SPDD and SPAU - this is key for a problem like yours.
Did you have a transport request ready with modifications from a previous upgrade? Please check these notes:
#68678: Exporting modification adjustment for second upgrade
#610311: Importing modification adjustment in second upgrade from 620
Lastly, did you run the upgrade with latest sapup version AND latest upgrade fix?
Now in order to fix the problem, you'll likely have to restore from backup and perform the upgrade again. Alternatively, please check note #1406740 (are you using IBM's DB2 as your database?). If you faced the problem described on this note (which points to errors in table DD03L during EU_IMP2 phase), you need to apply FP8 like on this note.
Then you could proceed like the following to fix the problem:
1. Restore the backup from phase MODPROF immediately before the downtime including the /usr/sap/P01/upg/abap directory
2. reset the Upgrade with report RSUPGRES
3. clear the upgrade directory
4. Start the upgrade from the very beginning after installing Fix Pack 8 for your database.
Please let us know if this helped.

Difference between Table and Table Type

Hi
Can you please let me know the
Difference between Table and Table Type and
Difference between Structure and Table Type?
Regards,
Sree

hi,
table is a data dictionary object in sap. table is of different types
1. transparent tables
2. pool tables
3. cluster tables
table type gives option for u to select different types of internal tables. they r
1. standard table
2. sorted table
3. hash table
Structures :
-Defined like a table and can then be addressed from ABAP programs.
-Structures contain data only during the runtime of a program.
-Just like user-defined data type.
- they are not present in database server and only on application server.
if helpful reward some points.
with regards,

Connection between Structure Field and Table Field

Hello everybody,
I'm trying to find a connection between a field in the structure and the actual filed in the table of the database. For example in the structure CAUFVD you have the field PLNNR. This information is stored in the table AFFL in the field PLNNR.
In the transaction SE84 you can display a structure with all it's fields but I don't see anywhere from which table and field the information is gathered.
Can you please help me in finding the connection between the structure field and the table field in the database in which the displayed information is stored?
Thanks and best regards,
CALIN Marius-Bogdan
SAP - PP-KeyUser

Double-click on the structure field and you can do a where-used to find the codepoints, interface usage, etc. You might find it that way. You could also look at the flow logic of your screen and try to trace it back. Otherwise, you'd have to use watchpoints, the debugger, runtime analysis or various other developer tools to find the data population. If you are a user and not a developer as your signature indicates, you might need to find a developer for this. Sometimes, it can be incredibly frustrating with SAP because the data field will be handed off 4 or 5 times before it actually reaches its destination field. Unfortunately, I haven't worked with PP in at least 10 years so I can't give you a better answer; maybe someone else can.
