RIBOF 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 "IB: IA fields for function group IBOF" 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_RIBOF TYPE RIBOF.

The RIBOF table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about IB: IA fields for function group IBOF data available in SAP. These include SUBTYP (IB: Object Type of Component Master Record), LEVUP (Number of hierarchy levels to be exploded above), LEVUP_2 (Number of hierarchy levels to be exploded above), LEVDO (Number of hierarchy levels to be exploded below).. 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 RIBOF using ABAP code?
