Hi Deniz,

This is nothing but the old way of naming structure in SAP. In progam this variables are used to store the old data.

Hi,

this creates a workarea for the database table.

So you can later write a code like this:

Select SINGLE *

from t074u

into *t074u

where <some condition>

Syntax

TABLES *table_wa.

Effect

This statement declares an additional table work area *table_wa, whose data type, like that of normal TABLES statements of flat, structured data type table_wa, is copied from the ABAP Dictionary.

The additional table work area can be used like the normal table work area. This applies in particular to obsolete short forms of Open SQL statements.

Note

The statement TABLES cannot be used in classes. For declaring as many work areas as you want, you can use the addition TYPE to use the data types in the ABAP Dictionary.
