Data statement cretaes a Structure or Table

[Former Member]

Hi friends,

I ahve one syntax... like this...

TYPES : BEGIN OF ITAB,

MATNR LIKE MARA-MATNR,

AEDAT LIKE MARA-AEDAT,

END OF ITAB.

DATA : JTAB TYPE ITAB..

I know that JATB is work as WORKAREA.. but .my doubt is Now JTAB is a structure.. or it's a table... because.. i use type statement in the second declaration..

thanks

Hi,

Its a strucutre.

COZ in your TYPES statement you are using BEGIN OF to start declaring a STRUCTURE TYPE not a TABLE TYPE

hi,

no u cannot write into table jtab.

u can perform operation into jtab

it is a structure it can hold only one record.
