Template is a static content so that itz layout cannot be changed dynamically.Eg.Tax forms etc..

Table is a dynamic content whose layout doesn't have fixed size ie.dynamic..eg..internal table contents..

TEMPLATE - is static, you can specify for a specifc row.

TABLE - is dynamic, you can simply use the INTERNAL table with a TABLE object.

So, template is as good as a static table.

From help

Use node type Template to display a table whose layout and size (number of lines and columns) is determined before the runtime of the application program. For this reason, a template is also called a static table.

Template:- Displays texts for table cells of a static table

Table:- Display table contents

Hi,

If you want to display multiple items, then u go for table.

where as if you want to display a single item then u go for template.

for exmple, if you want to print 100 records of employees. in each record u need to print ename, eno, design, skill known, no of years exp in the skill.

then u will use template to display the info like ename, eno, design.

u will use table to display skill known, no of years exp in the skill.

hope u r clear.

Reward point if useful
