What does it do? If the FROM wa or TO wa addition is not
specified when data is exported or imported with the database table or
shared memory , the ABAP runtime environment attempts to transport
the components between
SRTF2 and
CLUSTR of the table work area
declared with TABLES dbtab . If the table work area is not
found, these components are not transported.
Latest notes: In any case, table work areas cannot be used in global
classes. In local classes of programs except
class pools , the implicit mechanism
affects table work areas of the framework program.
The implicit use of table work areas is obsolete, which means that the
short forms shown here should no longer be used for data transports.
Instead, FROM wa and TO wa must be specified explicitly if
the components between SRTF2 and CLUSTR are to be written
or read.
