Occurs 0 Versus Type standard table of

Question

Is there a distinct advantage of using "TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF" instead of "OCCURS 0" to declare table. Other than the code being more systematic with type. Is there any difference in terms of advantage.
Is there any advantage other way round?
Will award points for the right answer, thanks for reading

Answer 1

Declaring an internal table with OCCURS 0 is not advisable now a days because it does not work in object oriented abap like BADIs.
Instead, we need to create a work area like line of internal table.
    TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_itab,
           category_id TYPE comt_category_id,
           category_text TYPE comt_category_text,
           hierarchy_guid TYPE comt_hierarchy_guid,
           non_assignable TYPE comt_non_assignable_category,
         END OF ty_itab,
         ty_t_itab TYPE TABLE OF ty_itab.
  DATA: lt_itab TYPE ty_t_itab WITH HEADER LINE.
OR
DATA: lt_itab TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ty_t_itab,
      wa_itab like line of lt_itab.
