<b>APPEND:</b> Appends a new line to the end of the internal table.After the APPEND, the system field SY-TABIX contains the index

of the last line in the table.

<b>INSERT</b>:Adds new records to a database table

<b>MODIFY:</b>Inserts new lines or updates existing lines in a database table

The entries in the internal table are sorted in ascending order

using the key from the table definition .

<b>READ:</b>Reads an entry from an DS:ABEN.ITAB>internal table, using

either its key or its index.

<b>COLLECT:</b>COLLECT allows you to create unique or summarized datasets. The system first tries to find a table entry corresponding to the table key . The key values are taken either from the header line of the internal table itab, or from the explicitly-specified work area wa. All components that are not part of the key

must be have numeric types If the system finds an entry, the numeric fields that are not part of the table key are added to the sum total of the existing entries. If it does not find an entry, the system creates a new entry instead.

<b>EDITOR-CALL:</b> Displays the internal table itab in an editor similiar to the

ABAP Editor. You can then use normal editor functions to make changes.

Changes to the table contents are only adopted if you save before leaving the editor.

<b><b>CLEAR:</b> Resets the contents of header line of internal table to its initial value.

<b>REFRESH:</b>The internal table itab is reset to its initial state, i.e. all

table entries are deleted.

<b>FREE:</b> FREE f has the same effect as CLEAR f, namely that a Data

object f is reset to the initial value corresponding to its type. Unlike CLEAR,

FREE also releases any resources taken up by the data object f. This can be important with internal tables , structures containing tables, and table work areas

After FREE f, the data object f can be re-addressed at any time. The only condition is that you may need to re-allocate resources to the object.

DELETE:</b>Deletes one or more lines from an internal table.If you delete lines within a LOOP ... ENDLOOP block, the deletion affects subsequent loop passes.

Hope this helps.

Reward if helpful.
