Hi,

Can any one tell me, what is the difference between defining tables as lfa1 and *lfa1.

Eg: Tables : lfa1 , *lfa1.

Thanks in advance,

There's no difference: *LFA1 is only the image of LFA1, so it's a way to use a work area structurated like LFA1, so for example u can do a select on LFA1 twice.

Hi ,

LFA1 IS A database table.....Finally all the vendor related data is stored here.

*LFA1 is a temporary structure...

When we enter values in tcode XK01...First the data is stored in *LFA1 and later all the data is transfered to LFA1....
