The Set Preferences (IMPRF) allows you to maintain the column preferences of a screen for a specific user without going to that particular screen.
Preferences are site wide items that control the manner that both the application is presented to the users and some also control how the application will execute in various areas when run.
All preferences are setup inside of the application and can be found on the Preference tab in the (IMST) screen.
The definition data for the Set Preferences screen is stored in the P2K_AM_PREFERENCE_SETTINGS table.
