hi,

in declaration, the asterisk means?

TABLES: *ZMM0123 .

TABLES: ZMM0123 .

thanks

This is simply the "old way" of declaring a second work area for a table. It has the same structure as the table name, just another memory area that can be used in your program. For example, *ZMM0123 could hold the data before manipulation, and ZMM0123 could hold the data after, like if a value has been changed by the user, then you can do a comparison. This is just one example of the use.
