ABAP SELECT FROM table fields

[former_member233313]

hi,

there is a new option to select data into an internal table :

SELECT FROM dbtab FIELDS ...

here you can see the description incl. an example code:

https://help.sap.com/doc/abapdocu_751_index_htm/7.51/en-US/abapfields_clause.htm

We're on 7.4 SP14 and it doesn't work. So, is it really only working as of 7.51 onwards?

cheers!

Is there aynone who can explain the difference between two usage?

I just want to understand advantage of ...fields usage.

Thank you.

Best regards

I think it came with 7.50 ('ABAP - Release-Specific Changes', Open SQL in Release 7.50, Arrangement of SELECT clauses and FROM clauses)

As explained in the change info I linked:

This arrangement supports tools such as Code Completion in ABAP Editor.
