Hi

Thats an Obsolete command

This statement declares an additional table work area *table_wa, whose data type, like that of normal TABLES statements of flat, structured data type table_wa, is copied from the ABAP Dictionary.

The additional table work area can be used like the normal table work area. This applies in particular to obsolete short forms of Open SQL statements.

Reward me if it helpful

Regards

Ravi

The *VBAK is an old way of declaring an addition work area in your programs. So both in a TABLES statement would give you two work areas which have the structure of VBAK. This is obselete and you should declare your work areas using DATA statements instead.

Data: xvbak type vbak,
         yvbak type vbak.
