Amol,

Both the statements will give the same Standard Internal table

This is because if we dont specify the table type , the system takes it as Standard table.

If you want the table to be Sorted/Hashed type declaration will be done as follows

Data : itab type sorted/hashed table of <type>.

Hi,

Both are Same.

If we give TYPE TABLE OF it will automatically take it as TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF.

Table type means to create workarea,

Standard table is to create structure and workarea.

"Type Standard table" Means we want only standard table out of Different type of tables,
Types of table:-
1) Standard

2) Sorted
3) Hashed

Hence if we want Sorted table or hashed table we have to write type Sorted table/type HASH TABLE OF

Also Type table of is nothing but referring to Standard table only unless specified.

Thanks
