Hi,

Field strings are created in SE38 that means they can be used while writing a program. At runtime we can fill the fields in those strings. But structures are created in SE11 transaction. This can be useful when declaring internal table.

Thanks

structure is only skelton for group of flds. it does not store data (even one row). it stores in Data dict

fld string is also skelton for group of flds. it does stores one row. it stores in ABAP pgm.

now fld strings are obsolte

Reward if useful

Hi,

Field Strings:

These are used in programs, when we want to use few fields from a database table then we declare in this.

Used in SE38.

Structure:

These are used to add feilds ( at the end or any where in between) to the tables without distrubing the existing table.

created in in SE11

hi,

-->Field string is nothing but structure or record.

We create them manually. we can access them in different

programs.

Work area is automatically created in memory when we

activate those field strings. they r limited to program.

-->field string is also work area but we are creating it

manualy but normal work area is the one which will be

created when we define tables

Hi,

The "field string" data object combines internal fields as a unit.The field string is commonly called as structure. when used with an internal table field strings occurs as an headerline and table work areas in database tables.

Irrespective whether used as field string, header line or table work area: the technique is same in all cases..
