SOFDD 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 "SAPoffice: Data of the Folder Definition SOFD" 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_SOFDD TYPE SOFDD.

The SOFDD table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about SAPoffice: Data of the Folder Definition SOFD data available in SAP. These include OWNYR (Owner year from the ID), OWNNO (Owner number from the ID), OBJLA (Language in Which Document Is Created), OBJSRT (Sort field).. 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 SOFDD using ABAP code?

As SOFDD 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 SOFDD as there is no data to select.
