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

LDAPAL 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 "Attribute Name and Type with Values" 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_LDAPAL TYPE LDAPAL.

The LDAPAL table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Attribute Name and Type with Values data available in SAP. These include TYP (Single-Character Indicator), OPERATION (LDAP Operation for LDAP_UPDATE), VALS (), XVALS ().. 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 LDAPAL using ABAP code?

As LDAPAL 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 LDAPAL as there is no data to select.
