I'm running SAP R/3.

The table E071 stores objects from transport requests. There is a 4 character field in it called OBJECT that stores the object type. Like PROG for program, TABD for table, etc.

I have an internal table with objects selected from E071.

The objects with type TABL can both be a normal structure and an append structure.

In SE11, when you view a structure object, if it's a normal structure, it shows a text that says Structure by the object name. And if it's an append structure, it shows Append Structure there.

So there is a way to differentiate them.

How should I go about differentiating them inside my program? Is there any technical detail that is different between these two?

  • Can you update your question with some more detail information? – Umar Abdullah Jan 23 '19 at 13:28
  • @UmarAbdullah Of course. What kind of detail should I add? – Mateus Auler Jan 23 '19 at 13:30

  • @joanis I've read it, but I am unsure what other information I could add to make it more clear. Should I add a code example, or the table fields or something else? – Mateus Auler Jan 23 '19 at 13:44
  • Your question is very generic. It's not clear in what environment you're running, or what data you are seeing. We don't know what you tried and what it did. Were you able to partially solve your problem? If you show some work and how it didn't exactly solve your problem, someone could point you to what's missing. Yes, some code and some data would really help. – joanis Jan 23 '19 at 13:50
  • @joanis I've added a few more details; but I'm not at work and don't have any actual data to add. But I don't think it's that necessary to understand the question. – Mateus Auler Jan 23 '19 at 15:24

ABAP DDIC structures are stored in the DD02L table, which stores also miscellaneous objects like tables and views, which have these important columns :

  • TABNAME : the object name
  • TABCLASS : the object class INTTAB for normal structure, APPEND for append structures, and other values for tables and views (including TRANSP for transparent tables)
  • SQLTAB : if the object is an append structure, it contains the object which it appends.
