Documentation

Definition

Estimated value for the number of view entries expected to be processed.

Use

The view entries are processed first in memory in internal tables. These internal tables are declared when the maintenance modules are generated. An OCCURS parameter must be specified (see the ABAP/4 documentation). The contents of this field is used as an OCCURS parameter.

Procedure

If you can estimate the number of view entries, enter the number. If you do not specify a number, the default value "10" is set.

Examples

Dependencies

The OCCURS parameter influences the performance of table operations. The nearer the specified number is to the actual expected number of entries, the better the performance.
