v4.6C Can't create type-pool

[Former Member]

I'm getting a circular create problem on a version 4.6C system when I try to create a type-pool.

I had a type pool called "ZMATN". I decided to re-write it to clean it up. So, I removed all references to it and then deleted it using transaction SE80.

Now, when I enter "TYPE-POOLS: zmatn" in and ABAP program, I get the message "Type group doesn't exist, would you like to create it". I answer yes and the data-dictionary does not open. The editor simply returns the cursor to the program I'm in.

Has anyone experienced something like this?

Thanks

Creation of the data dictionary objects should be done via 'SE11' only. Try creating from SE11 and not through the program.

Thanks for answering, but I'm still a bit confused.

I went to SE11 and entered ZMATN in the DATA TYPE area, the create options are "Data Element, Structure, Table type".

Which option should I use to create a Type-Pool?

Or, should I be using a different category in SE11?

Hi Edward,

Thanks, that did the trick.

I forgot that those extra options were available.
