Metadata of the Application Data
The
metadata of the application data (Metadata of the type DATA) are defined in the data streams using SAP DB Loader commands and SQL statements.The SAP DB Loader stores this information in the
system tables, if the transformation spans multiple tables.The corresponding data is stored in the SAP DB database instance in the form of pages or rows and in a data stream in the non-readable formats
PAGES and RECORDS or in the readable formats FORMATTED, COMPRESSED and LONG.If the data are transformed to the format of rows, columns of the
external data type CHAR with the code attribute ASCII can be transformed to values of data fields with the code attribute ASCII, UCS-2 or UTF-8.
