Dear all,
Could ne 1 plz tell me why does * come while using AT END OF syntax.
eg loop at it_table into wa_table.
some processing.....
at end of wa_table-field.

Why does * come into work area? Also all numeric fields turn to 0.
This question is just out of Curiosity

The components of the current control key remain unchanged.
All components with a character-type, flat data type to the right of the current control key are set to character "*" in every position.
All the other components to the right of the current control key are set to their initial value.
When the AT-ENDAT control structure is exited, the content of the current table line is assigned to the entire work area wa.

AT END OF & ENDAT has a characteristic where the field which is specified in this statement all the fields to the left of the fields in the table will turn in to its initial value (i.e **** for character fields and '0' for the numeric fields. Right fields will be printed with its value.
Rewards if useful.

Hi
Using AT FIRST , AT NEW, AT THE END OF , AT LAST.
DATA: BEGIN OF ITAB OCCURS 0,
F1 TYPE I,
F2(6) TYPE C,
F3(10) TYPE N,
F4(16) TYPE P DECIMALS 2,
END OF ITAB.
DATA: SUB_TOT(10) TYPE P DECIMALS 3.
**--1
ITAB-F1 = 1.
ITAB-F2 = 'ONE'.
ITAB-F3 = 10.
ITAB-F4 = '1000.00'.
APPEND ITAB.
CLEAR ITAB.
ITAB-F1 = 1.
ITAB-F2 = 'ONE'.
ITAB-F3 = 20.
ITAB-F4 = '2000.00'.
APPEND ITAB.
CLEAR ITAB.
ITAB-F1 = 1.
ITAB-F2 = 'ONE'.
ITAB-F3 = 30.
ITAB-F4 = '3000.00'.
APPEND ITAB.
CLEAR ITAB.
*--2
ITAB-F1 = 2.
ITAB-F2 = 'TWO'.
ITAB-F3 = 10.
ITAB-F4 = '1000.00'.
APPEND ITAB.
CLEAR ITAB.
ITAB-F1 = 2.
ITAB-F2 = 'TWO'.
ITAB-F3 = 20.
ITAB-F4 = '2000.00'.
APPEND ITAB.
CLEAR ITAB.
*-- 3
ITAB-F1 = 3.
ITAB-F2 = 'THREE'.
ITAB-F3 = 10.
ITAB-F4 = '1000.00'.
APPEND ITAB.
CLEAR ITAB.
ITAB-F1 = 3.
ITAB-F2 = 'THREE'.
ITAB-F3 = 20.
ITAB-F4 = '2000.00'.
APPEND ITAB.
CLEAR ITAB.
SORT ITAB BY F1.
LOOP AT ITAB.
AT FIRST.
WRITE: /35 ' MATERIAL DETAILS:'.
ULINE.
ENDAT.
AT NEW F1.
WRITE: / 'DETAILS OF MATERIAL:' COLOR 7 , ITAB-F1.
ULINE.
ENDAT.
WRITE: / ITAB-F1, ITAB-F2, ITAB-F3, ITAB-F4.
SUB_TOT = SUB_TOT + ITAB-F4.
AT END OF F1.
ULINE.
WRITE: / 'SUB TOTAL :' COLOR 3 INVERSE ON, SUB_TOT COLOR 3 INVERSE ON.
CLEAR SUB_TOT.
ENDAT.
AT LAST.
SUM.
ULINE.
WRITE: 'SUM:', ITAB-F4.
ULINE.
ENDAT.
ENDLOOP.

Just going through i again,i guess it is coz of this:-
Loop at int_table into wa_table.
some processing.
at end of field
endat
endloop
so i guess what must be happening is that when we are looping ,an event is getting triggered .the moment at end of is triggerd ,while looping SAP understands that the previous data has to be processed with before moving on,,so the new data is converted to * .i guess there cant be any other reason...(As xplained by Imtiyaz)
