Folks,

**--Delivery qty
<lfs_final>-lfimg = VALUE #( lt_lips[ vbeln = <lfs_data>-vbeln_p
posnr = <lfs_data>-posnr_p ]-lfimg OPTIONAL ).

1.Is this the new syntax alternative to read table into workarea ?

2.what does lfimg OPTIONAL mean ?

Thanks,

Yes, it's named a Table Expression https://help.sap.com/doc/abapdocu_latest_index_htm/latest/en-US/index.htm?file=abentable_expressions...

Clean ABAP guide = prefer Table Expression over READ TABLE: styleguides/clean-abap/CleanABAP.md at main · SAP/styleguides (github.com)

OPTIONAL for VALUE/REF and Table Expressions: ABAP Doc - table_exp - default.
