Hi Group,

In an idoc, what's the different between segment type and name? According to the sap help, it states "A segment type is the name of a segment and is independent of the SAP release". For instance, idoc - WMMBID02, there is a segment - E2MBXYH001, but its type is E1MBXYH as displaying in the following

BEGIN_SEGMENT E2MBXYH001

SEGMENTTYPE E1MBXYH

Could anyone please explain to me what's the difference?

Thanks,

Dennis
