hi

This is i got it from google

BDC table control is an area on the screen in which you can display data in tabular form. You process it using a loop. Table controls are comparable to step loop tables. While a table control consists of a single definition row, step loop blocks may extend over more than one row. Table controls are more flexible than step loops, and are intended to replace them

When you need to handle a scenario like in sales order,it may contain more than one material,if you have more than one material We have to use table control,it will have number of columns and number of rows.

Table controls allow you to enter, display, and modify tabular data easily on the screen

Check this code,

for coding Please check this link

This is the diff betn Table controls and step loops .

In Table Controls

Data is displayed in the form of table.

Table control gives user the feeling of an actual table.

You can scroll through the table vertically as well as horizontally.

You can select rows and columns.

You can resize the with of columns.

You can have separator lines between rows and columns.

Automatic resizing of the table when the user resizes the window.

You can update information in the table control and it can be updated inthe database table by writing code for it.

In Step Loops ,

Step loops are type of screen tables.

Step loops are nothing but repeated blocks of fields in a screen.

Each block contains one or more fields.

Step loops don't give you feeling of actual table.

You can scroll vertically but not horizontally.

why & when we should go for table control in bdc

we use the table control in bdc when we have a multiple record in a single transaction.

like : In pp module we have multiple line items(SFG, RW etc.) to upload a BOM of FG Item.

if u need some bdc for table control, pls revert back...i will send u bdc for bom uploading..

which will be helpful to understand u better..
