SYSUUID 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 "UUID formats" 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_SYSUUID TYPE SYSUUID.

The SYSUUID table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about UUID formats data available in SAP. These include C (UUID in character form), C25 (UUID in compressed form), C22 (UUID in compressed form (22 character UUENCODEd)).. 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 SYSUUID using ABAP code?

As SYSUUID 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 SYSUUID as there is no data to select.

Within an ECC or HANA version of SAP you can also view further information about SYSUUID and the data within it using relevant transactions such as
