Wht is the diff. between step loops and table control.

It's only graphic diff. managed by diff. ways (of course):

in steploop there isn't a table control so in PBO and PAI it has only the stataments LOOP/ENDLOOP or LOOP AT ITAB/ENDLOOP.

The step loop is way older than table control to display the data of a table.

Hi,

Both have similar function only.

But in new versions of SAP R/3 Table controls are used.

But the diff. between them is

Step Loop

1. spread over a number of lines

2. Selection of a row is not available

Table control

1.Table controls are ultimately an improvement of step loops.

2. Scrolling is available

3. Selection of a row or multiple row is available

4. Popup can be made available for a field in the table control

Nivas,

As i too is new to ABAP, wat i know is steploops r an outdated concept.

And coming to difference by default v vll b having horizontal scroller in Tablecontrol,but for vertical purpose v have to define it explicitly.
