SE16 - message returned - "XXXXX is a structure, not a table"

[bntb_bntb]

Hello,

I use transaction SE16 in R/3 to see a table's content.

Often I get the message: "XXXXX is a structure, not a table".

For example: "KMDMY is a structure, not a table".

How can I see the content of a structure ?

Thank you!

Only database tables contain data. Structure do not.

Hi ,

Structures are used in SAP for carrying data .that can be for updating the database or the extracting data from the database , process the data and present the data. There won't be any value contents permanently .

While executing the transaction the structures carries the data ....

Hope it answers your query.
