difference between BSID and *BSID

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I am new to abap. Can u please explain me what is the main difference between BSID table and *BSID table.

Is any field reference (Pointer) indication or normal comment.

I found This type of statements in Standard programs.

Thanks,

Munna.

Hai,

BSID and *BSID are just work areas of the table BSID (we have to declare using TABLES statement).

This is an advantage because we can declare 2 work areas at a time for the same table.

Example:

Tables: BSID, *BSID.

select single * from BSID where <condition1>.

*BSID = BSID.

select single * from BSID where <condition2>.
