EPPOS 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 "Program Position with Short Text" 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_EPPOS TYPE EPPOS.

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

As EPPOS 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 EPPOS as there is no data to select.

How to access SAP table EPPOS

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

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