the IT_EKKO TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF I_EKKO INITIAL SIZE 0,

This defines an internal table of the type i_ekko which would have been defined earlier.This is without header line.

WA_EKKO TYPE I_EKKO - defines a work area of the type

INITIAL SIZE specifies how many table lines are to be created initially. The number of table lines can then be increased as needed.

The value of INITIAL SIZE has no semantic significance except in the case of APPEND SORTED BY. If INITIAL SIZE is not declared, its value is set to 0.

First statement is to create an internal table of type I_EKKO, and second statement is to create work area for further processing.

In internal table u can store any number of records and in work area you can store only one record.

You can fetch data from DB and store the records in the internal table by SELECT --- INTO TABLE ---. And then you can do further process however you want by reading each record into to the work area either by READ or LOOP.
