Documentation
Definition
The view type defines how a view is implemented and how one can access the view.
Six different view types are supported at the moment:
Database view (type D): implemented with an equivalent view on the database.
Projection view (type P): used to mask out fields from a table.
Help views (type H): used in the online help system.
Structure view (type S): used to generate a structure from the view fields. The creation of structure views is no longer supported as of Release 3.0.
Maintenance view (type C): permits a business view on data and enables maintenance of this data.
Entity view (type E): used to map entity types of the EDM to tables of the ABAP Dictionary. This view type is no longer supported as of Release 3.0.
