Difference between internal table definitions

Former Member — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 07:30:59 GMT

What is the difference between the following table definition syntax?

(Def 1: Data: g_t_vbak type table of Vbak occurs 0.

Def 2: Data: begin of g_t_vbak occurs 0,

<Field1> type <Data type>,

…

End of g_t_vbak.)

a. Both are same

b. Def 1 and Def 2 create an internal with header line.

c. Def 1 creates an internal table without header line but Def 2 creates internal table with header line.

d. Def 1 creates an internal table with header line but Def 2 creates internal table without header line.

if possible explain

Regards

Hi,

A is the answer

Data: g_t_vbak type table of Vbak occurs 0.

Here, OCCURS statement is used to declare a structure as an internal table. The initial size of internal table ranges from 0 to 7.

Data: begin of g_t_vbak occurs 0,

<Field1> type <Data type>,

…

End of g_t_vbak.)

Any internal table created using BEGIN OF - END OF statements is called as structured internal table.

if it has Begin,then it is with header line – Creates work Area

Occurs n – Creates the body of the internal table

Hope this helps u,

Begin of itab creates internal table with ur own fields.

In this u can define as many fields u want and with any type.
