DATA - BEGIN OF OCCURS
Obsolete Syntax
DATA BEGIN OF itab OCCURS n.
...
DATA END OF itab [VALID BETWEEN intlim1 AND intlim2].
Addition:
... VALID BETWEEN intlim1 AND intlim2
Effect
This variant of the statement list introduced using DATA BEGIN OF (which is forbidden in classes) declares an internal table itab as a standard table with a structured row type and a header line. The declarations between the statements DATA BEGIN OF and DATA END OF define the components of the row type of itab, just as in the regular variant of DATA BEGIN OF. The data object n, which has to be specified either directly as a numeric literal or as a numeric constant, determines the initial memory requirement.
Notes
... VALID BETWEEN intlim1 AND intlim2
Effect
The VALID BETWEEN addition of the DATA END OF
statement is only important if the internal table is to be processed using the obsolete form of the
statement PROVIDE.
intlim1 and intlim2 expect columns from the internal table of the
data type d, i, n,
or t. These columns are used implicitly as interval limits in their obsolete form of the statement PROVIDE.
