A work area is nothing more than a structure which serves as a header line for an internal table. When you read an internal table(without header line) the line which you read must be moved somewhere, it is moved into a work area. So here is an example.

data: itab type table of mara.
data: wa like line of itab.

Select * into table itab from mara
              up to 10 rows.

Loop at itab into wa.
   write:/ wa-matnr.
endloop.
