What are advantages of using a field symbol for internal table row access? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Using a field symbol is faster than using a work area.
• B. The field symbol can be reused for other programs.
• C. The row content is copied to the field symbol instead to a work area.
• D. A MODIFY statement to write changed contents back to the table is not required.

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

Option A is correct because field symbols provide direct access to the data without the overhead of copying it to a work area, making it faster. Option D is also correct as using field symbols eliminates the need for a MODIFY statement to write back changes to the internal table, streamlining the process. Options B and C are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the advantages of using field symbols in this context.
