  • Key Concepts: 
    Table iteration is a feature of the ABAP Runtime Environment (BC-ABA) that allows users to loop through a table and process each row of the table one at a time. This is useful for performing operations on multiple rows of data in a single statement, such as updating or deleting records.
    
    How to use it: 
    Table iteration can be used in an ABAP program by using the LOOP AT statement. This statement takes a table name as an argument and will loop through each row of the table, allowing the user to perform operations on each row. The syntax for this statement is LOOP AT .
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When using table iteration, it is important to remember that the order in which the rows are processed is not guaranteed. If you need to process the rows in a specific order, you should use the SORT statement before looping through the table.
