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

FBSTATE 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 "State on Saving and TAB Status" 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_FBSTATE TYPE FBSTATE.

The FBSTATE table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about State on Saving and TAB Status data available in SAP. These include DOCUCH (Boolean Variable (X=True, -=False, Space=Unknown)), PARAMCH (Boolean Variable (X=True, -=False, Space=Unknown)), STEXTCH (Boolean Variable (X=True, -=False, Space=Unknown)), ACTIVETAB (Active Tab).. 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 FBSTATE using ABAP code?

As FBSTATE 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 FBSTATE as there is no data to select.
