  • Key Concepts: 
    Table parameters are a type of parameter used in the ABAP Runtime Environment of SAP. They are used to pass data from one program to another, and can be used to store data in a table-like structure. Table parameters are similar to internal tables, but they are not stored in the database and can only be used within the program. 
    
    How to use it: 
    Table parameters can be used in ABAP programs to pass data from one program to another. To create a table parameter, you must first define the structure of the table parameter, which includes the name, type, and length of each field. Once the structure is defined, you can then create the table parameter and assign values to it. Finally, you can pass the table parameter as an input or output parameter in a program. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When creating a table parameter, it is important to make sure that all fields have been defined correctly. This will ensure that the data is passed correctly between programs. Additionally, it is important to make sure that all fields have been assigned values before passing the table parameter as an input or output parameter.
