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

CSDTAB 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 "BOM Interface Control Table" 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_CSDTAB TYPE CSDTAB.

The CSDTAB table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about BOM Interface Control Table data available in SAP. These include STLNR (Bill of material), STLAL (Alternative BOM), STLKN (BOM item node number), CIM_COUNT (Internal counter).. 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 CSDTAB using ABAP code?

As CSDTAB 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 CSDTAB as there is no data to select.

How to access SAP table CSDTAB

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

SE11 (ABAP Dictionary Maintenance)
SM30 (Maintain Table Data)
SE80 (Object Navigator)
SE16 (Data Browser).
