SAP ACTV Change Pointer for Cost Center/Activity Type or Price Table data and field list

ACTV 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 "Change Pointer for Cost Center/Activity Type or Price" 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_ACTV TYPE ACTV.

The ACTV table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Change Pointer for Cost Center/Activity Type or Price data available in SAP.

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

As ACTV is a database structure and not a table it does not store any data in the SAP data dictionary. The ABAP SELECT statement is therefore not appropriate and can not be performed on ACTV as there is no data to select.
