Hi,

Table controls is the modified or upgraded version of step loops. Step loops are outdated and not used any more. Step loops work in the principle of building tables as a stack of fields. Say u have 10 fields you print them together in a do loop or someting to print as a table. It is pretty difficult to handle them. Now in table control we dont have to do much manipulation in terms of printing fields with particular format and so on. Step loops are most used before 4.6 version...
