ABAP News for Release 7.40 - Table Expressions

Table expressions with the syntax

... itab[ ... ] ...

are a new way for accessing table lines in operand positions. You can view a table expression simply as a short form of a READ TABLE statement. The result of a table expression is a single table line. All you have to know is the syntax that does the same as a given READ TABLE statement.

If a table line is not found, the exception CX_SY_ITAB_LINE_NOT_FOUND is raised. No sy-subrc from expressions, of course.
