What is the difference between Collect statement and Append
Statement?
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
Answer / anu
Append adds the record at the end of internal table.
Collect sums up the numeric fields of the records whose
primary keys are equal and adds it as a single record i.e
To fill an itab with lines which have unique standard keys
we use collect statement.If an entry with the same key
already exists,the collect statement does not append a new
line as append statement but adds the contents of the
numeric fields in the work area to the contents of the
numeric fields in the existing entry.
