CREATE APPEND STRUCTURE IN ABAP DATA DICTIONARY

APPEND STRUCTRURES :


             APPEND STRUCTURES ARE USED ONLY TO ENHANCE STANDARD TABLES.  STANDARD TABLES MAY HAVE INCLUDE STRUCTURES ALREADY CREATED , BUT IF WE WANT TO ADD SOME MORE FIELDS TO THE STANDARD TABLES, WE NEED TO GO FOR APPEND STRUCTURES.

            APPEND STRUCTURES SHOULD BE ADDED AT THE END OF A STANDARD TABLE. THIS IS A MUST. BECAUSE WE SHOULD NOT CHANGE THE ORIGINAL STANDARD TABLE IN THE MIDDLE.
