Documentation

Definition

A table can be buffered using one of the following types of buffering (see SAP Note 47239 - Behavior of Table Buffers)

P - individual records buffered

R - completely buffered

Using "individual records buffered", the buffer manages individual records in a table. A record is added to the buffer when it is accessed for the first time with the open SQL command SELECT SINGLE.

Using "completely buffered", the entire table is held in the buffer, or key value areas of the table are held in the buffer. When one or more of the records in the table is read accessed for the first time, all records in the table are read into the buffer.
