4. Edit the table step with the “Edit step” button.

Remark:
Access via key columns is possible for text tables in the same way as for standard SAP tables. For more information, see Test Case – Automation of SAP-Tables / Table step – Control via key columns.
Table variables can also be used as data sources in text table steps. For more information, see Test Case – Automation of SAP-Tables / Table step – Table variable as data source.
