declaring packed field in types in OO context

[Former Member]

hi,

i'm declaring an internal table of type sorted and using a type for that in a method. however, i have problem using 'P' as data type for one of my fields.

types : BEGIN OF ty_test,

field1(10) type c,

field2(12) type c,

packedfield TYPE P DECIMALS 4,

END OF ty_test.

during syntax check it says 'explicit length specification are necessary with types C,P....'

Thanks,

KK.

Hi,

For packed data types you have to mention the size specification to allocate memory.

Try this.

types : BEGIN OF ty_test,

field1(10) type c,

field2(12) type c,

packedfield(5) TYPE P DECIMALS 4,

END OF ty_test.

Hope it helps you.

Murthy.
