how can we relate modify and field-symbol??

Modify will modify the changed fields in that internal table

Field-symbol is dynamic assignment

I am asking which one is better performance wise.

Through modify and field-symbol, we can change the contents of internal table.

Field-symbol has better performance. Because it modify the data by reference. Modify will modify data by value.

Hello,

Modify using FIELD SYMBOLS. But performance will not have much difference.
