1 ->If you want to access one record then READ is the

best form to use.

If you have more than 1 record to be moved, the use

the LOOP.

2 ->Use the LOOP FROM .. TO.. form of loop statement.

Hi

read with binary search is always preferred for better performance..

sort the internal table with the required keys before using read on that table.

loops cant be avoided in specific conditions...

hi,

1. Loop is used when you want to check the condition for all the table entries(more than one entry for some condition). and read is used when there is only in one record for the condition specified in your internal table(only one entry for condition).

2. You can simply read the records with index(provided you know the index).

read table itab index 1.

read table itab index 2.

However, this is only when you know which index to be read or if there is some condition then you can use where clause with binary search(You have to sort the internal table before this). Otherwise You have to use loop through the table.
