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

CFDM1 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 "Data mining methods" 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_CFDM1 TYPE CFDM1.

The CFDM1 table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Data mining methods data available in SAP. These include MANDT (Client), METHOD (Data mining method), MAX_AUFSP (Maximum Number of Drilldowns), DIST_OBJ (Max. interval between adjacent objects in data mining).. 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 CFDM1 using ABAP code?
