Internal Table <VIM_TEXTTAB>
Definition
The table <VIM_TEXTTAB> contains all texts which are not in the logon language, which were read in for the 'Translation' function, changed and created by maintenance.
The structure of the table <VIM_TEXTTAB> is not transparent and has no header line. You should define a record with the following structure to access the table fields.
BEGIN OF WA_TEXT
K1 LIKE <entity table/view key>
(other keys as required)
KT1 LIKE <text table key>
(other keys as required)
F1 LIKE <text table function field>
(other fields as required)
ACTION_FLAG LIKE VIMTBFLAGS-VIM_ACTION (processing flag)
END OF WA_TEXT.
If the entity table/view is time-dependent, but the text table is not, the time restriction key is not included, because it is not relevant for the texts.
After assigning a record of the table <VIM_TEXTTAB> to the structure, its fields can be accessed via the structure fields .
The data are sorted in ascending order of the entity table/view and text table keys.

The data are only deleted from the database in the central table maintenance dialog save routine, they are deleted from the internal table <VIM_TEXTTAB> in the general routine VIM_TEXTTAB_DB_UPDATE or in the routine defined at
