You can probably fill it up in the constructor method of the class.

wa_itab-column1 = 'xxx'.

append wa_itab to itab.

I'm afraid no. Constants cannot be changed. Even not it the class constructor.

It even does not seem to be possible to create a constant table. A table and a constant are mutually exclusive, for a constant needs an initial value, and a table must not have an initial value.

Well...

It seems as I would have to leave this attribute changeable and then access it in the class constructor. Unless nobody has a better solution...

Instead, define your table with a data statement, make it a private attribute, and create a method to modify it.
