Below is a number of ABAP code snippets to demonstrate how to select data from SAP RELATION_ADDRESS_VERSION table and store it within an internal table, including using the newer @DATA inline declaration methods. It also shows you various ways to process this data using ABAP work area, inline declaration or field symbols including executing all the relevant CONVERSION_EXIT routines specific to RELATION_ADDRESS_VERSION. See here for more generic Select statement tips.

Sometimes data within SAP is stored within the database table in a different format to what it is displayed to the user. These input/output conversation FM routines are what translates the data between the two formats.

There is also a full declaration of the RELATION_ADDRESS_VERSION table where each field has a char/string type for you to simply copy and paste. This allows you to use processing that is only available to these field types such as the CONCATENATE statement.

DATA: IT_RELATION_ADDRESS_VERSION TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF RELATION_ADDRESS_VERSION,
      WA_RELATION_ADDRESS_VERSION TYPE RELATION_ADDRESS_VERSION,
      GD_STR TYPE STRING.

*--Further methods of using ABAP code to  select data from SAP database tables

*You can also declare the header/work area using the in-line DATA declaration method
READ TABLE IT_RELATION_ADDRESS_VERSION INDEX 1 INTO DATA(WA_RELATION_ADDRESS_VERSION2).


*Demonstrate how to loop at an internal table and update values using a FIELD-SYMBOL
LOOP AT IT_RELATION_ADDRESS_VERSION ASSIGNING <RELATION_ADDRESS_VERSION>.

*To update a field value using a field symbol simply change the value via the field symbol pointer
