Effect
Reads an entry from a DS:ABEN.ITAB>internal table, using either its key or its index. The return code SY-SUBRC specifies whether an entry could be read. If you specify a non-unique key (the table must have an NON-UNIQUE key for this to be valid), the system returns the entry with the lowest index from the set of entries that meet the condition.
