SAP CSLA1 csla + cslt Table data and field list

CSLA1 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 "csla + cslt" 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_CSLA1 TYPE CSLA1.

The CSLA1 table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about csla + cslt data available in SAP. These include KOKRS (Controlling Area), LSTAR (Activity Type), DATBI (Valid To Date), DATAB (Valid-From Date)... 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 CSLA1 using ABAP code?

As CSLA1 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 CSLA1 as there is no data to select.

How to access SAP table CSLA1

SE11 (ABAP Dictionary Maintenance)
