SAP COEPL_KEY Key fields in COEPL (INCLUDE structure) Table data and field list

COEPL_KEY 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 "Key fields in COEPL (INCLUDE structure)" 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_COEPL_KEY TYPE COEPL_KEY.

The COEPL_KEY table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Key fields in COEPL (INCLUDE structure) data available in SAP. These include MANDT (Client), KOKRS (Controlling Area), BELNR (Document Number), BUZEI (Posting row)... 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 COEPL_KEY using ABAP code?

As COEPL_KEY 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 COEPL_KEY as there is no data to select.
