         | { itab [USING KEY loop_key] } 
           FROM wa

Effect

Changes rows in internal tables.

Additions

  • TABLE itab
    Specifies a row to be changed by matching it with the key values of the wa work area.
  • itab INDEX idx
    Specifies a row to be changed by specifying a row number (idx) of a table index.
  • itab [USING KEY loop_key]
    Defines the row in a loop to be changed using the current row.
  • FROM wa
    Specifies the new content in a wa work area.
  • TRANSPORTING comp1 comp2 ...
    Specifies the components to be changed (comp1, comp2, and so on).
  • ASSIGNING <fs> [CASTING]
    Assigns a single changed row to a field symbol <fs>; casting can be executed.
  • REFERENCE INTO dref
    Assigns the reference for a single changed row to a reference variable dref.
  • WHERE log_exp|(cond_syntax)
    Specifies the rows to be changed by specifying a static condition (log_exp) or a dynamic condition in cond_syntax.
  • USING KEY key_name|(name)
    Statically or dynamically specifies a (secondary) table key that is to be used to search for the rows to be changed.
