Internal tables, index assess with key specification
The example shows an index access to a hashed table.

ABAP_SOURCE_CODE
ABAP_EXEC

ABAP_DESCRIPTION
The table sflight_tab is a hashed table with a unique primary key and a non-unique secondary sorted key. Since a secondary sorted key is specified in the MODIFY statement after USING KEY , it is possible to access the hashed table via the associated secondary table index.
The example only serves to demonstrate the syntax. Generally, instead of using the MODIFY statement such modifications should be carried out using a field symbol or a data reference:
LOOP AT sflight_tab ASSIGNING <(><<)>sflight_wa> USING KEY plane_type
WHERE planetype = 'A310-300'.
<(><<)>sflight_wa>-seatsmax = <(><<)>sflight_wa>-seatsmax + 20.
ENDLOOP.
