Below is a number of ABAP code snippets to demonstrate how to select data from SAP TKA07 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 TKA07.

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 TKA07 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_TKA07 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF TKA07,
      WA_TKA07 TYPE TKA07,
      GD_STR TYPE STRING.

DATA: lo_typedescr type REF TO cl_abap_typedescr.
DATA: lv_fieldname type fieldname.

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <FIELD> TYPE any.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <TKA07> TYPE TKA07.


*Original SAP ECC Select statement 
SELECT *
*restrict ABAP select to first 10 rows
 UP TO 10 ROWS      
  FROM TKA07
  INTO TABLE IT_TKA07.

*Select data and declare internal table using  in-line method @DATA 
SELECT *
  FROM TKA07
  INTO TABLE @DATA(IT_TKA072).

*You can also declare the header/work area using the  in-line DATA declaration method 
READ TABLE IT_TKA07 INDEX 1 INTO DATA(WA_TKA072).


*Latest ABAP cloud SELECT statement using the FIELDS syntax. But note to following the clean core principles you should not select directly from an SAP table 
* and should instead use a CDS view or create you own CDS and use that.
SELECT FROM TKA07
  FIELDS *
*  WHERE would go here
  INTO TABLE @DATA(IT_TKA072).


*Demonstrate how to loop at an internal table and update values using a FIELD-SYMBOL
LOOP AT IT_TKA07 ASSIGNING <TKA07>.

*To update a field value using a field symbol simply change the value via the field symbol pointer
<TKA07>-MANDT = 1.
<TKA07>-KOKRS = 1.
<TKA07>-VERSN = 1.
<TKA07>-GJAHR = 1.
<TKA07>-VSPKZ = 1.

ENDLOOP.

LOOP AT IT_TKA07 INTO WA_TKA07.
*Write horizonal line to screen report.
  WRITE:/ sy-uline.

*Write selected data to screen/report before conversion.

  WA_TKA07-REFERENZ, sy-vline,
  WA_TKA07-KURST, sy-vline,
  WA_TKA07-PLDAT, sy-vline.
ENDLOOP.
   
*Add any further fields from structure WA_TKA07 you want to display...

  WRITE:/ sy-uline.
* Aternatively use generic code to Write field values (and NAME) to screen report
  DO.
    ASSIGN COMPONENT sy-index OF STRUCTURE wa_TKA07 TO <field>.

  ENDDO.

  
*Redo loop but convert all fields from internal to out value  
LOOP AT IT_TKA07 INTO WA_TKA07.
