Hi naveena,

1. This is actually a facility provided in abap syntax.

2. It is usually checked while saving a record.

3. For eg.

If we have one variable

EKKO

and another *EKKO

(They both are same only, with same structure)

(but two different variables)

4. The functional meaning, for usage purpose,

of *EKKO is OLDEKKO.

5. While saving the transaction,

the data is saved only if there is any change

in the values.

IF EKKO <> *EKKO.

*--- SAVE

ELSE.

MESSAGE 'NO DATA CHANGED'

ENDIF.

6. We can aswell use any other variale

eg. oldekko

oekko

myekko

etc,

7. But for business meaning,

R/3 has the facility for *

*----

---

1. we can use almost everywhere.

2. just copy paste

report abc.

*----

---

TABLES : T001.

TABLES : *T001.

DATA : ITAB LIKE EKKO.

DATA : *ITAB LIKE EKKO.

DATA : NUM TYPE I.

DATA : *NUM TYPE I.
