Effect

This statement transfers the content of internal table itab to a text editor and calls this text editor. The internal table must be astandard table withoutsecondary table keys with a character-like row type.

The text editor is based on a GUI control displayed in the current window and has its own GUI statusthat partly corresponds to that of the ABAP Editor. Depending on the settings, the text editor has aline width of 255 or 72 characters. This setting can be configured in the GUI status and applies tothe ABAP Editor at the same time. Equally, if this setting is configured for the ABAP Editor, it also applies to the text editor.

,,The content of the table rows is converted according to theconversionrules for elementary data types row-by-row into a field of type c that is 255 or 72 characterslong and transferred to the text editor. If you exit the text editor by choosing Save,the previous content of the table is deleted and the content of each row of the editor is attached (topto bottom) to the internal table. During this process, conversion takes place (if necessary) from type c with a length 255 or 72 characters to the row type of the internal table.
