SAP GRPVAL Set Values with Group Table data and field list

GRPVAL 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 "Set Values with Group" 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_GRPVAL TYPE GRPVAL.

The GRPVAL table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Set Values with Group data available in SAP. These include VALFR (From Value), VALTO (To value), ACTN (General Flag)... 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 GRPVAL using ABAP code?
