ABAP_DESCRIPTION
The example shows a read performed on a nested internal table using the statement READ TABLE and using a table expression .

Reads performed using statements require the statement READ TABLE

to be used twice and two explicitly declared field symbols. The first field symbol, wa1 , is used in the second READ statement and the second field symbol, wa2 , is used to pass the result to a method.

When reads are performed using table expressions, the expressions can be chained and passed to the method directly. No explicitly declared field symbols are required.

The result of both reads is the same.
