*Control Tables

The search indexes for address data, as well as the address data itself, are client-dependent. There can now be other differentiations within a client. These are called "Index pools".

The division reflects the fact that multiple areas of master data are involved, which differ from the business embedding in the SAP System and from the technical implementation.

Two such index pools are currently defined in table TSADRVGRP with a technical key derived from control table TSADRV:

Hi,

In ABAP basically we have 3 types of data,

Control data

Master data

Transactional data.

The control data (regarding the organizational data which is fed up by basis people) is stored in the control tables. you can find this control tables option while creating the table. at the first table under the Delivery & Maintainence option , press f4 you get the list of tables where it holds the control tables.

Regards,

Varun.

hi,

here are some information about control tables :

The control table is the one which specifies how your data changes in the table and how you want your table to be maintained.:

The following are the delivery classes:

A: Application table.

C: Customizing table, maintenance by customer only.

L: Table for storing temporary data.

G: Customizing table, entries protected against overwriting.

E: Control table.

S: System table, maintenance only by SAP.

W: System table, contents can be transported via own TR objects.

The Control Tables specify that it is the table where data is not changed frequently and pertains to information for the flow of the system.

Reward if helpful !

Thanks
