Effect

Executes a table iteration as a loop across an internal table itab. itab is a functional operand position.

The statements LOOP and ENDLOOP define the statement block of the loop. The statement LOOP reads rows from the internal table itab sequentially that meet an optional condition cond.

• If the addition GROUP BY is not specified, the statement block is executed for each read row and the row can be processed here. The way in which the read row is addressed in the statement block is specified in the output behavior result.
• The addition GROUP BY is used to group the read rows by a group key group_key and the statement block is then executed for every group. The way in which the current group is addressed in the statement block is specified in the output behavior group_result.
  

To exit processing of the statement block, the statements described in the leave loops section can be used.
