Hi

Guess your question is populating from a <table>? Am I right?

If yes, it means selecting the data from the <table> based on the conditions into an internal table for processing.

If no, it refers to populating (creating new records) in the <table>, it can be done either thru Trxn SM30 (Table maintenance Generator) or through a program(Interface program).

Akshita Akshita,

data:begin of itab occurs 0,

matnr like makt-matnr,

spras like makt-spras,

maktx like makt-maktx,

end of itab.

select matnr spras maktx from makt into table itab where spras = sy-langu.

The above said select statement will fetch all the records which are corresponding to sy-langu ie EN from MAKT into ITAB.The metho of fetching the records from one table and fillinng up another table is called populating.here we are fetching the records from MAKT and populating ITAB.
