Structure field list including key, data, relationships and ABAP select examples

SWUATTRIB 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 "Attribute of Object Type and Path" 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_SWUATTRIB TYPE SWUATTRIB.

The SWUATTRIB table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Attribute of Object Type and Path data available in SAP. These include LOBJTYPE (Object Type), VERB (Object type component), VERBTYPE (Verb type (key, attr., method)), ATTRTYPE (Attribute type).. 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 SWUATTRIB using ABAP code?
