Question:
acgl_item-shkzg = *acgl_item-shkzg.
I had a question about the above mentioned assignment declaration. I was wondering what the asterisk meant here. I am thinking it is how the value is passed, here it is by reference. I am not sure however.
Any idea on this will be appreciated .
thnx.
Answer:
This was discussed recently in this forum. If you want to define the same table twice in TABLES section, you define once normally and with an asterisk the second time.

Im not sure about this, but, I think it acts just like another internal table. Such as if it had been named zacgl_item-shkzg instead of *acgl_item-shkzg. In other words, the * has no significant meaning.

This is a hangover from the days of R2 when multiple work areas for a table and 'SELECT INTO TABLE' were unavailable and should not be used.
Instead you should use SELECT INTO TABLE, or 'LOOP AT ITAB into WA'.

Answer:
When you declare a table by the tables statement, you
are creating a work area structure with fields = the database
table fields.
You are doing the exact same thing by using the asterix.
It is a new work area.
