SAP MSGOBJ Message object Table data and field list

MSGOBJ 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 "Message object" 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_MSGOBJ TYPE MSGOBJ.

The MSGOBJ table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Message object data available in SAP. These include OBJIDINT (SAP internal object key), OBJIDEXT (SAP external object key)... 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. .
