SAP CNPB_OBJECTS Type and Key of an Object used in PS Table data and field list

CNPB_OBJECTS 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 "Type and Key of an Object used in PS" 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_CNPB_OBJECTS TYPE CNPB_OBJECTS.

The CNPB_OBJECTS table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Type and Key of an Object used in PS data available in SAP. These include OBJECT_KEYS_IMP (), PRONR (Project definition (internal)), PSPNR (WBS Element), AUFNR (Order Number)... 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 CNPB_OBJECTS using ABAP code?

As CNPB_OBJECTS 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 CNPB_OBJECTS as there is no data to select.
