The code in bold if uncommented raises error, why. In the commented code, Both itab and jtab are declared in a similar way. Error: The type of "ITAB" cannot be converted to the type of "JTAB".

Note that the two definitions of JTAB are different in the sense that the commented one has a header line while the other one has not. Because ITAB[] also has no header line the assignment of ITAB[] to JTAB will only work when JTAB has no header line. If you want to use the definition of JTAB with the header line you will need to assign ITAB directly to JTAB, no need for the hooked brackets.
