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

LICENSE 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 "License Entry" 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_LICENSE TYPE LICENSE.

The LICENSE table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about License Entry data available in SAP. These include CUSTKEY (Active hardware key from saplicense), INSTNUMBER (saplicense: Installation number), SYSTEMID (Unique System ID from SAPLICENSE), PRODUCTID (saplicense: Product ID).. 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 LICENSE using ABAP code?

As LICENSE 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 LICENSE as there is no data to select.

How to access SAP table LICENSE

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

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