Internal Tables: It Are Tables For Holding Data During Runtime

Internal tables are dynamic data objects in ABAP that save programmers from manually managing memory. They can be accessed line by line using a work area interface and are created by defining a table type then a data object, or directly in the DATA statement. Common types include sorted tables defined with a unique key. Loops with DO statements are commonly used to iterate through internal table lines.

internal tables: It are tables for holding data during runtime

In ABAP, internal tables fulfill the function of arrays. Since they are dynamic data objects, they save the programmer the task of dynamic memory management in his or her programs. Internal table will usually be associated with a structure or work area.

Internal table cannot be accessed outside the program environment. Accessing Internal Tables You access internal tables line by line. You must use a work area as an interface for transferring data to and from the table.

Creating Internal Tables There are two ways by which you can create internal tables 1. First create an internal table data type using the 'TYPES' statement and then create a data object referring that data type. 2. Create an internal table data object directly with the 'DATA' statement. TYPES: BEGIN COLUMN1 TYPE COLUMN2 TYPE COLUMN3 TYPE END OF LINE. OF LINE, I, I, I,

TYPES ITAB TYPE SORTED TABLE OF LINE WITH UNIQUE KEY COLUMN1. The program defines a table type ITAB. It is a sorted table, with line type of the structure LINE and a unique key of the component COLUMN1. TYPES ITAB TYPE SORTED TABLE OF LINE WITH UNIQUE KEY COLUMN1. The program defines a table type ITAB. It is a sorted table, with line type of the structure LINE and a unique key of the component COLUMN1.

There are mainly four types of loops in ABAP programs, they are Loops with DO statement (Mainly for unconditional loops
