SAP SGOS_OBJ Object Instance with Default Attribute Table data and field list

SGOS_OBJ is a standard SAP Structure so does not store data like a database table does. It can be used to define the fields of other actual tables or to process "Object Instance with Default Attribute" Information within sap ABAP programs.

This is done by declaring abap internal tables, work areas or database tables based on this Structure. These can then be used to store and process the required data appropriately.

i.e. DATA: wa_SGOS_OBJ TYPE SGOS_OBJ.

The SGOS_OBJ table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Object Instance with Default Attribute data available in SAP. These include OBJKEY (Object key), OBJTYPE (Object Type), LOGSYS (Logical system), TIMESTAMP (UTC Time Stamp in Short Form (YYYYMMDDhhmmss))... See below for full list along with technical details, documentation, text table, check tables, foreign key relationships, conversion routines, relevant tcodes and example ABAP select code etc. .

How do I retrieve data from SAP structure SGOS_OBJ using ABAP code?
