Create a TABL (Table / Structure) object directly as abapGit-serialized repository files, outside an SAP system.
<object_name>.tabl.xml — all lowercase.<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<abapGit version="v1.0.0" serializer="LCL_OBJECT_TABL" serializer_version="v1.0.0">
A TABL object consists of a single file:

| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| DD02V | Table header |
TABNAME | Table/structure name (uppercase, max 30 chars) |
TABCLASS | TRANSP = transparent table, INTTAB = structure, CLUSTER = cluster table, POOL = pool table |
CLIDEP | X = client-dependent (only for TRANSP) |
CONTFLAG | Delivery class: A = application, C = customizing, L = temporary, S = system |
| DD09L | Technical settings (only for TRANSP) |
TABART | Data class: APPL0, APPL1, etc. |
BUFALLOW | Buffering: N = not allowed, X = allowed |
| DD03P | Field definition |
FIELDNAME | Field name |
KEYFLAG | X = key field |
ROLLNAME | Data element reference (use COMPTYPE = E) |
DATATYPE+LENG | Direct type (when no ROLLNAME) |
COMPTYPE | E = data element, S = structure, R = reference |
For client-dependent transparent tables (CLIDEP = X), the first key field must be the
standard client field wired via the MANDT data element, not a hand-rolled native CLNT
field. This is what SAP generates by standard (e.g. RAP draft-table quickfixes) and is required
for correct client handling:
<DD03P>
<FIELDNAME>MANDT</FIELDNAME>
<KEYFLAG>X</KEYFLAG>
<ROLLNAME>MANDT</ROLLNAME>
<ADMINFIELD>0</ADMINFIELD>
<NOTNULL>X</NOTNULL>
<COMPTYPE>E</COMPTYPE>
</DD03P>
Do not define the client as <FIELDNAME>CLIENT</FIELDNAME> with a native DATATYPE>CLNT;
use FIELDNAME MANDT + ROLLNAME MANDT (COMPTYPE = E). In foreign keys (DD05M), map the
client component with FORKEY/CHECKFIELD = MANDT.
For fields with DATATYPE = STRG (string) or RSTR (rawstring/xstring), omit the <LENG> element entirely. SAP's serializer does not include <LENG> for these types since their length is implicitly unlimited. Including <LENG>000000</LENG> will cause a diff mismatch when abapGit re-serializes the object from the SAP system.
Example — STRING field (correct):
<DD03P>
<FIELDNAME>DESCRIPTION</FIELDNAME>
<ADMINFIELD>0</ADMINFIELD>
<INTTYPE>g</INTTYPE>
<INTLEN>000008</INTLEN>
<DATATYPE>STRG</DATATYPE>
<MASK> STRG</MASK>
</DD03P>
<name>.tabl.xml in the appropriate src/ subfolder.DD02V, DD09L, and DD03P_TABLE.DD02V and DD03P_TABLE (no DD09L).ROLLNAME+COMPTYPE=E or define types directly.MANDT (data element MANDT, COMPTYPE=E) as the first key field for client-dependent tables.LCL_OBJECT_TABL.TABNAME in XML matches the filename (uppercase vs lowercase).TABCLASS is set correctly (TRANSP or INTTAB).KEYFLAG = X and NOTNULL = X.DD09L is present only for transparent tables.
