do you mean from database table? if yes:

DATA : gw_bkpf TYPE bkpf.

hi,

for database tables

U can use TABLES statement which will define a work area.

TABLES MARA.

else you can also use data statemnt

data w_mara type mara.

Hi Chintan,

If it's the work area for SAP table, then

DATA: wa_mara TYPE mara.

If it's for the internal table, then

DATA: BEGIN OF wa_test,

var1 type c,

var2 type string,

END OF wa_test.

Best Regards.

TABLES statement is obsolate to create work areas, so DON'T use it!
