+## Prefer INSERT INTO TABLE to APPEND TO
+
+### What is the intent of the check?
+
+This check searches for `APPEND` statements and reports a finding. `INSERT INTO TABLE` works with all table and key types, thus making it easier for you to refactor the table's type and key definitions if your performance requirements change.
+
+### How to solve the issue?
+
+Use `INSERT INTO` instead of `APPEND TO`.
+
+### What to do in case of exception?
+
+In exceptional cases, you can suppress this finding by using the pseudo comment `"#EC PREF_INSERT_INT`:
+
+```abap
+   DATA prefer_insert_into_table TYPE TABLE OF string.
+   APPEND `example` TO prefer_insert_into_table. "#EC PREF_INSERT_INT
+```
+
+### Example
+
+Before the check:
+
+```abap
+   DATA prefer_insert_into_table TYPE TABLE OF string.
+   APPEND `example` TO prefer_insert_into_table.
+```
+
+After the check:
+
+```abap
+   DATA prefer_insert_into_table TYPE TABLE OF string.
+   INSERT `example` INTO TABLE prefer_insert_into_table.
+```
