SAP PARAMS Internal table for CAPP characteristics Table data and field list

PARAMS 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 "Internal table for CAPP characteristics" 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_PARAMS TYPE PARAMS.

The PARAMS table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Internal table for CAPP characteristics data available in SAP. These include MSTUF (Level of the characteristic), MERNN (Object-independent characteristic number), REKUZ (Indicator: recursion within a method), PFLAG (Indicator: Edit characteristic)... 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 PARAMS using ABAP code?

As PARAMS 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 PARAMS as there is no data to select.
