Hi..

GET is faster

GET:

Use GET to handle two types of events after submitting executable programs: Get events and events at the end of a hierarchy level of a logical database. If during a GET event a list is written, previously an automatic line feed is created.

Provide....

The statements PROVIDE and ENDPROVIDE define a loop through a statement block. In this loop, any number of internal tables itab1 itab2 ... are processed together. A single table can appear several times. For every table itab you must specify a FIELDS clause. After FIELDS you must specify the character * for all components or a list comp1 comp2 ... for specific components of the relevant table. The names of the components comp1 comp2 ... can only be specified directly.

GET loads up all the infotypes for a person with each loop pass & PROIVDE is used to loop at the infotype itab, inside the GET event..

You shouldn't be comparing GET & PROVIDE..

hi ,

The purpose of using GET is totally different from the use of provide statements .

Get fills all internal tables of declared infotypes with relevant master data and

provide statements are used to process those internal tables within a GET and END-OF-SELECTION loop.
