MDIN 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 "Index table" 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_MDIN TYPE MDIN.

The MDIN table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Index table data available in SAP. These include DELKZ (MRP element), DAT00 (Receipt/Requirements date), DELB0 (Abbreviation for MRP element), ATPMG (ATP quantity)..

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

As MDIN 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 MDIN as there is no data to select.
