** Versions: 4.6b - 4.6c                                              **
************************************************************************
** Notes:                                                             **
**     this program shows how we can use hashed tables to improve     **
**     the responce time.                                             **
**     It shows,                                                      **
**        1. how to declare hashed tables                             **
**        2. a cache-like technique to improve access to master data  **
**        3. how to collect data using hashed tables                  **
**        4. how to avoid deletions of unwanted data                  **
************************************************************************
** Results: the test we run read about 31000 rows from mkpf, 150000   **
**          rows from mseg, 500 rows from makt and 400 from lfa1.     **
**          it filled ht_lst with 24500 rows and displayed them in    **
**          alv grid format.                                          **
**                                                                    **
**          It needed about 65 seconds to perform this task (with     **
**          all the db buffers empty)                                 **
**                                                                    **
**          The same program with standard tables needed 140 seconds  **
**          to run with the same recordset and with buffers filled in **
************************************************************************
** Objetive: show a list that consists of  all the material movements **
**          '101' - '901' for a certain range of dates in mkpf-budat. **
** the columns to be displayed are:                                   **
**          mkpf-budat,                                               **
**          mkpf-mblnr,                                               **
**          mseg-lifnr,                                               **
**          lfa1-name1,                                               **
**          mkpf-xblnr,                                               **
**          mseg-zeile                                                **
**          mseg-charg,                                               **
**          mseg-matnr,                                               **
**          makt-maktx,                                               **
**          mseg-erfmg,                                               **
**          mseg-erfme.                                               **
** or show a sumary list by matnr - menge                             **
**                                                                    **
** You'll have to create a pf-status called vista -                   **
** See form set_pf_status for details                                 **
