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

DD03NP 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 "Structure of Fields" 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_DD03NP TYPE DD03NP.

The DD03NP table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Structure of Fields data available in SAP. These include NODENAME (Node Name of a BO in the ABAP Dictionary), FIELDNAME (Field Name), DDLANGUAGE (Language Key), POSITION (DD: Marked Position in a Repeat Group).. 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. .
