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_MDCO TYPE MDCO.

How do I retrieve data from SAP structure MDCO using ABAP code?

As MDCO 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 MDCO as there is no data to select.
