Cannot Use TABLES Statement

Creation of table work areas with the TABLES statement is not allowed in ABAP Objects.

In ABAP Objects, the following syntax causes an error message:

TABLES dbtab.

Correct syntax:

DATA wa TYPE dbtab.

Reason:

The semantics of the TABLES statement is ambiguous.

Explicit work areas should be defined for database accesses instead of implicit table work areas.

Common interface work areas for passing data between programs and procedures are not supported in ABAP Objects. In classes, only the components that a user can see are used as interface, that is, visible attributes and the interface parameters of methods and events.

The data transport between ABAP programs and logical databases or dynpros via global table work areas is not allowed in ABAP Objects and is replaced with other concepts.
