SAP ESH_S_MU_NODE_FIELDS Node Field Table data and field list

ESH_S_MU_NODE_FIELDS 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 "Node Field" 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_ESH_S_MU_NODE_FIELDS TYPE ESH_S_MU_NODE_FIELDS.

The ESH_S_MU_NODE_FIELDS table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Node Field data available in SAP. These include SYS_GROUP (Model), BO_NAME (Object Type), NODE_NAME (Node Name), NAME (Node Field)... 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 ESH_S_MU_NODE_FIELDS using ABAP code?

As ESH_S_MU_NODE_FIELDS 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 ESH_S_MU_NODE_FIELDS as there is no data to select.

How to access SAP table ESH_S_MU_NODE_FIELDS

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

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