Lakshmi,

I am not sure about the form, but as far as the tables are concerned *MSEG is something internally used by SAP. I would suggest you go with MSEG.

Hello guys , one of confusion in answer that, if we are going with this way

Tables : MSEG,*MSEG .

Then it will be affected for your program because we r using here select * mesg .

So you guys please sort out my confusion.

In this following statement...

TABLES: MSEG,

*MSEG.

These are two different work areas of the same structure(MSEG). So you can do two select statement into each one of these work areas.

Select * from mseg where ...

and

Select * from *mseg where ...

now MSEG and *MSEG can be accessed and could have two totally different records.

Just remember that saying

 Tables: MSEG, *MSEG.

is just like saying...

Data: wa_mseg1 type mseg,
      wa_mseg2 type mseg.

Make sense?
