    hi siva

    The primary index and the secondary indexes of a table are distinguished.

    The <b>primary index</b> contains the key fields of the table as well as a pointer to the non-key fields of the table. The primary index is <b>automatically generated when the table is activated.</b>

    Further indexes to a table can also be <b>created in the ABAP/4 Dictionary</b>. These are called the <b>secondary indexes</b> of the table

    Hi

    A difference is made between Primary & Secondary indexes to a table. the primary index consists of the key fields of the table and a pointer to the non-keys-fields of the table. The Primary index is generated automatically when a table is created and is created in the datebase as the same times as the table. It is also possible to define further indexes to a table in the ABAP/4 dictionary, which are then referred to as Secondary indexes.
