Cannot Use TABLES Statement
In ABAP Objects, the following syntax causes an error message:
TABLES dbtab.
Correct syntax:
DATA wa TYPE dbtab.
Reason:
The semantics of the TABLES statement is ambiguous.
Explicit work areas should be defined for database accesses instead of implicit table work areas.
Common interface work areas for passing data between programs and
procedures are not supported
in ABAP Objects. In classes, only the components that a user can see are used as interface, that is, visible attributes and the interface parameters of methods and events.
The data transport between ABAP programs and
logical databases or
dynpros via global table work areas is not allowed in ABAP Objects and is replaced with other concepts.
