Documentation

Definition

Describes the internal dictionary structure of the segment.

Use

The segment type is not release-specific, in contrast to the internal dictionary structure: a new release can include additional fields, which creates a new version of the segment (a new segment definition). Version creation can also be used to exchange IDocs with other SAP releases.

All SAP segment types begin with 'E1', all customer-specific segment types begin with 'Z1' or a customer prefix, e.g. '/SAPCUST/'.
