Hi,

When you use DESCRIBE statement it retrieves the attributes of a field, an internal table or a list. This command to check whether an internal table contains data. The system field SY-TFILL gets affected.

Syntax: DESCRIBE TABLE <itab> LINES WS_LINES.

Thanks,

Sandeep.

Hi Mayuri,

Also while using DESCRIBE statement in addition to the system fields sy-tfill(the current number of table rows ), sy-tleng are filled with and the length of a table row in bytes.

Hope it was useful.

Thanks,

Sandeep.
