Just add the length of each field defined in your internal table to get the default initial size.

another way is to go to debugger and do the following.

a. Setting->Memmory display on/off

b. Click on tables

c. Enter Internal table name

You will see the details of the memory usage.

You dont need to worry of the initial size as the internal table is free to grow till the memory allocation gets full.

Do reward points if this helps.

hi

The size does not belong to the data type of the internal table and does not affect the type check.you can specify occurs <n> when you declare.Note when this initial size is full the system makes twice as much extra space avialabe <b>up to a limit of 8KB</b>. Further memory areas of <b>12 KB</b> each are allocated. you can leave <n> on system , the first time you fill the table , little memory is used , <b>the sapce used depends on the line width ie 16 <= <n> <=100</b>

thanks
