SAP CEBSP Structure for definition of logical columns (SPARA) Table data and field list

CEBSP 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 definition of logical columns (SPARA)" 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_CEBSP TYPE CEBSP.

The CEBSP table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Structure for definition of logical columns (SPARA) data available in SAP. These include FNAM (Field Name), SIGN (Incl/Excl flag), OPTION (EQ, NE, BT, NB, CP, NP, LE, LT, GE, GT), LOW (Lower limit of characteristic values)... 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 CEBSP using ABAP code?

As CEBSP 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 CEBSP as there is no data to select.

How to access SAP table CEBSP

Within an ECC or HANA version of SAP you can also view further information about CEBSP and the data within it using relevant transactions such as
