Whether this itab definition has header line

[Former Member]

Hi,

when said: clear prices. the prices itab is not cleared. it is still full of data, but I am not sure whether it has header line. It is not specified explicitly.

Does this prices itab has header line?

Thanks.

DATA: BEGIN OF PRICES OCCURS 0,

MATNR LIKE MBEW-MATNR,

BWKEY LIKE MBEW-BWKEY,

VPRSV LIKE MBEW-VPRSV,

STPRS LIKE MBEW-STPRS,

VERPR LIKE MBEW-VERPR,

END OF PRICES.

If you had checked the sap help about the occurs addition on the data statement you would have found out that it has indeed a header line.

this itab has body as well as work area.

if u want to delete the whole data then use REFRESH ITAB statement.

reward if useful.

Hi

The itab is having header line. If u want to clear the header line of the internal table then use clear statement, it u want to clear the whole contents of the header line use refresh itab.

Hi Deniz,

Whenever you use

DATA: BEGIN OF PRICES <b>OCCURS 0,</b>

MATNR LIKE MBEW-MATNR,

BWKEY LIKE MBEW-BWKEY,

VPRSV LIKE MBEW-VPRSV,

STPRS LIKE MBEW-STPRS,

VERPR LIKE MBEW-VERPR,

END OF PRICES.

that table is with header line.

This is another eg.

DATA: BEGIN OF PRICES <b>OCCURS 0 with header line ,</b>

MATNR LIKE MBEW-MATNR,

BWKEY LIKE MBEW-BWKEY,

VPRSV LIKE MBEW-VPRSV,

STPRS LIKE MBEW-STPRS,

VERPR LIKE MBEW-VERPR,

END OF PRICES.

It is advisable to use tables without header line.

To do that, You can create types like

Types : BEGIN OF ty_PRICES ,

MATNR LIKE MBEW-MATNR,

BWKEY LIKE MBEW-BWKEY,

VPRSV LIKE MBEW-VPRSV,

STPRS LIKE MBEW-STPRS,

VERPR LIKE MBEW-VERPR,

END OF ty_PRICES.

data : i_itab like standard table of ty_prices.

Reward if useful.
