Hi Victor,

this is a typical ABAP coding question.

Well, this wizard is the same as creating the code directly in SE37 - and there you have to choose between Tables or an Export parameter as well. At the end it is a historical problem: long time ago, it was not possible to have tables as export parameters. Today, to be close to the standard, you should only use import and export parameters - they recommend not to use tables any longer. But at the end - it is your choice which of these two options you choose - both are working at the end.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Oliver
