Table name variable with * prefix

[Former Member]

Hi gurus,

It maybe a very easy question but I couldn't find the answer anywhere on the net.

When checking the enhancement on MV45AIZZ I ran into a statement like that :

lv_zztoplam = ( lv_zztoplam  * vbap-kwmeng ) /  *vbap-kwmeng .

I didn't get what *vbap means. Can you tell me what it means.

Kind regards,

it`s just a variable name from global definition or from somewhere.

It works like a normal variable as Archer said (more precisely like a variable declared with keyword TABLES). It's called "Additional Table Work Area". It's obsolete. Cf ABAP documentation: TABLES * and Obsolete declarations - Interface Work Areas
