how to create a work area.

data : begin of wa,

f1(10),

end of wa.

data : it like table of wa.

creating internal table from standard table.

data : it like table of mara with header line.

creating work area from internal table.

data : wa like it.

data : begin of it_mara,

matnr like mara - matnr,

enum like mara - enum,

end of it_mara.

data : wa_mara like it_mara.

in this program since this program is internal tables with headerline.

it_mara is work area

it_mara[] is internal table

one is implicit workarea which is automatically created.

ie : it_mara.

and the other one is wa_mara which we have declared.

So there are two work areas for a single internal table

if u r convinced with this answer reward with points

Hi Balu,

I have created an example for you which I think will be of help to your question.

REPORT  z_aris_test_11.

TABLES: vbak. "Work area 1

TYPES: BEGIN OF t_vbak,
        vbeln TYPE vbak-vbeln,
        erdat TYPE vbak-erdat,
       END OF t_vbak.

DATA: gt_vbak TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF t_vbak,
      wa_vbak LIKE LINE OF gt_vbak.             "Work area 2

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_vbak> LIKE LINE OF gt_vbak.  "Work area 3

SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK b1 WITH FRAME.
PARAMETERS: r1 RADIOBUTTON GROUP grp1,
            r2 RADIOBUTTON GROUP grp1,
            r3 RADIOBUTTON GROUP grp1.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK b1.

START-OF-SELECTION.

*Using Work area 1
  IF r1 = 'X'.
    WRITE: / 'Using work area 1...'.
    SELECT vbeln erdat
    FROM vbak
    INTO (vbak-vbeln, vbak-erdat).
      WRITE: / vbak-vbeln,
               vbak-erdat.
    ENDSELECT.
*Using work area 2
  ELSEIF r2 = 'X'.
    WRITE: / 'Using work area 2...'.
    SELECT vbeln erdat
    FROM vbak
    INTO TABLE gt_vbak.

    LOOP AT gt_vbak INTO wa_vbak.
      WRITE: / wa_vbak-vbeln,
               wa_vbak-erdat.
    ENDLOOP.
    REFRESH gt_vbak.
*Using Work area 3
  ELSEIF r3 = 'X'.
    WRITE: / 'Using work area 3...'.
    SELECT vbeln erdat
    FROM vbak
    INTO TABLE gt_vbak.

    LOOP AT gt_vbak ASSIGNING <fs_vbak>.
      WRITE: / <fs_vbak>-vbeln,
               <fs_vbak>-erdat.
    ENDLOOP.
    REFRESH gt_vbak.
  ENDIF.

As you can see from my example, you can use the table(VBAK) itself as work area, or you can define an explicit work area or even a field-symbol if you prefer.

Hope it helps...

P.S. Please award points if it helps...
