SAP DMCHP Batch Record: Dialog Structure Table data and field list

DMCHP 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 "Batch Record: Dialog 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_DMCHP TYPE DMCHP.

The DMCHP table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Batch Record: Dialog Structure data available in SAP. These include MATNR (Material Number), WERKS (Plant), ACTIVITY (GUI function)...

How do I retrieve data from SAP structure DMCHP using ABAP code?

As DMCHP 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 DMCHP as there is no data to select.
