Structure field list including key, data, relationships and ABAP select examples

API_CLDAT 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 "Class Data" 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_API_CLDAT TYPE API_CLDAT.

The API_CLDAT table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Class Data data available in SAP. These include CL_TYPE (Class Type), STATU (Class status), KLAGR (Class Group), SICHT (Organizational Area).. 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. .
