Hi Abapers,

In my Current project, customer is using an Custom developed tool to maintain material related data.

This Custom developed tool is also similar to MM02 transaction which has various views, data is stored in many fields in Z tables, long text are present.. etc.

Now Customer wants to store all these data in Standard table ex. MARA by using Append Structure.

My Question is

1. Is there any limitation in the number of fields in an Append Structure ?

2. Is there any limitation in the number of Append Structures for a table ?

2. Can I have nested Structure in Append structure i.e deep structures's in an Append structure.

3. Can I have fields of type String to store long texts..

Thats it as of now...

Please advice.

Thanks

Aakash.
