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

HEADER_FB 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 "Header Data From Function Builder" 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_HEADER_FB TYPE HEADER_FB.

The HEADER_FB table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Header Data From Function Builder data available in SAP. These include APPL (), APPLTXT (Short Description of Repository Objects), STEXT (Short text for function module), CHANGINGLA (Original Language in Repository objects).. 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 HEADER_FB using ABAP code?

As HEADER_FB 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 HEADER_FB as there is no data to select.

How to access SAP table HEADER_FB

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

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