Obsolete Syntax

... itab-sys ...

Effect

If itab is an obsolete standard table with a header line, instead of specifying itab[] to address the table body, the pseudo component itab-sys can be used. This also addresses the table body.

Note

If you also need to access tables with header lines, only use itab[] to address the table body, not itab-sys.

Example

This example shows that itab-sys has the same meaning as itab[].

DATA itab TYPE TABLE OF scarr WITH HEADER LINE. 

SELECT * 
       FROM scarr 
       INTO TABLE @itab. 

ASSERT itab[] = itab-*sys*.
