Hi

In step loops how many rows you will create only those many records will be displayed in the run time, where as in table control you can define any no of rows and you can set vertical scroll bar, to go to any no of lines, where as in case of step loops you can't create vertical scroll bar. So in step loop the no of rows displayed are static, but there is no limitation in table controls.

Hi

It's only graphic diff. managed by diff. ways (of course):

in steploop there isn't a table control so in PBO and PAI it has only the stataments LOOP/ENDLOOP or LOOP AT ITAB/ENDLOOP.

The step loop is way older than table control to display the data of a table.

check this

a step-loop constists of a line of gui-elements like labels and edittexts, which are repeated in each line of the step-loop. each line is filled by a row of an internal table. this was the only way to display tables on abap-dynpros.

the table-control was added later to the abap-dynpros (perhaps R/3 3.0 or R/3 3.1 ?) to give a better look and feel. it is still filled by an internal table and the dynpro-run-logic is very similiar to step-loops.
