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_MSG01 TYPE MSG01.

The MSG01 table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Display Outputs data available in SAP. These include OBJECTKEY (Object key), TYPE (Output Type), LANGUAGE (Message language), PARTNER (Message partner).. 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 MSG01 using ABAP code?

As MSG01 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 MSG01 as there is no data to select.
