SAP CEBSE Structure for specification of selected object (SEIG) Table data and field list

CEBSE 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 "Structure for specification of selected object (SEIG)" 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_CEBSE TYPE CEBSE.

The CEBSE table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Structure for specification of selected object (SEIG) data available in SAP. These include GWAHL (Generated sequence of characteristics/key figures), LSIND (Numbering of user-defined characteristics in info system), CEPNN (Line-item file), FNAM (Field Name)... 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 CEBSE using ABAP code?

As CEBSE 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 CEBSE as there is no data to select.
