Hi,

Avoid updating the standard tables using MODIFY or UPDATE statements .It causes data inconsistency.

I suggest you to use BAPI's for updating standard tables.

Dont update standard tables directly. Use BAPI to update standard tables.

Hi,

Modifying standard table through prgram( Modify) is strict No, untill you are completely aware of the consiquence. there are dependencies of record on other records, so modification may lead to incosistancy.

through modify statement you Can modify datbase table, but never do it inside loop. Populate all date in one internal table and then modify using this intenal table.

check f1 help for modify.
