Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SB697-E transistor can have a current gain of 100 to 200. The gain of the 2SB697 will be in the range from 40 to 320, for the 2SB697-C it will be in the range from 40 to 80, for the 2SB697-D it will be in the range from 60 to 120, for the 2SB697-F it will be in the range from 160 to 320.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SB697-E might only be marked "B697-E".The complementary NPN transistor to the 2SB697-E is the 2SD733-E.You can replace the 2SB697-E with the 2SA1072A, 2SA1073, 2SA908, 2SA909, 2SB697K, 2SB697K-E, 2SB722, 2SB723 or 2SB723-C.
