There are two different ways of exchanging data with tables. One way includes information about line breaks, the other does not. The sets of methods have the suffix AS_STREAM (containing line break information) or AS_R3TABLE (without line break information).

CautionIf you use GET methods with the type AS_R3TABLE and use a table with shorter lines than those in the SAP Textedit, the text from the control is only passed up to the length of the table line. The remaining text is lost.

If the lines of the table are longer than the lines of the control, the table lines are filled with trailing spaces.
