hi,

there is a new option to select data into an internal table :

We're on 7.4 SP14 and it doesn't work. So, is it really only working as of 7.51 onwards?

cheers!

I think it came with 7.50 ('ABAP - Release-Specific Changes', Open SQL in Release 7.50, Arrangement of SELECT clauses and FROM clauses)
