Hi,

Whats the difference between *T001 and T001? Whats the use of writing an asterisk before the table name?

Thanks.

Hi,

*T001 is internal table declaration. T001 is data base table.

hi,

This kind of declarations you will find in the standard programs here *T001 refers to the work area of T001...

Hi

It's way to declare workarea as image of a dictionary table, so it can use two different workarea for the same table in order to do a select twice without overwriting the data:

TABLES: T001,
        *T001.

SELECT SINGLE * FROM T001 WHERE BUKRS = 'AAAA'.

SELECT SINGLE * FROM *T001 WHERE BUKRS = 'BBBB'.

*T001: It is a internal table declaration.if u give like this it will selects all the tables which are ending with T001.

T001: it is a database table declaration.if u specify like this it will display only t001 table.

*T001 is the Work area declaration and T001 is the internal table declaration. You can find like this in Standard programs.
