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

CFBSE01 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_CFBSE01 TYPE CFBSE01.

The CFBSE01 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 LSIND (Numbering of user-defined characteristics in info system), DWAHL (Print: Sequence of characteristics), CEPNN (Table Name), 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. .
