Declaration of WA for Table Type

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am trying to append a structure data to a table type.

For example:

I have a Table Type called ZTABLE_TYPE of Line Type ZSTRUCTURE.

In my program, my declaration is as below:

DATA itab TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ZTABLE_TYPE.
DATA work_area TYPE ZSTRUCTURE.

work_area-field1 = 'abc'
work_area-field2 = '123'
APPEND work_area TO itab.

However, when I try to activate, I received a syntax error:

"WORK_AREA" cannot be converted to the line type of "ITAB".

Can I get some help on whether I have declared wrongly, or is there a more appropriate way to append data into a table type.

Thanks!

Hi Adrian ,

Go for the below declaration

DATA itab TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ZTABLE_TYPE.
        work_area TYPE ZTABLE_TYPE
 
(or)

DATA itab TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ZSTRUCTURE..
        work_area TYPE ZSTRUCTURE.

Thanks Shruti, Santosh and Vijetasap for your help and explanation. Works now.

Prasath and Harsh, sorry I should have explained this in my initial post, but I couldn't declare both the same as I was using the table type as an export parameter for a function. Thanks for the help anyways.

Hi Adrian

The TYPE of Work Area as well as the internal table should be the same either ZSTRUCTURE or ZTABLE_TYPE.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Try the below code.

DATA itab TYPE ZTABLE_TYPE.

DATA work_area TYPE ZSTRUCTURE.

work_area-field1 = 'abc'

work_area-field2 = '123'

APPEND work_area TO itab.

Hope it helps.

Hi,

Declare like this:

DATA itab TYPE ZTABLE_TYPE.

DATA work_area TYPE ZSTRUCTURE.

work_area-field1 = 'abc'

work_area-field2 = '123'

APPEND work_area TO itab.

This is because ZTABLE_TYPE is already a table type. So you need not mention "type table of" in your declaration part.

Thanks and Regards,

Firstly ZTABLE_TYPE, is it a database table ora table type.

If its a table type then you need to declare it as:-

Data : itab type ZTABLE_TYPE.

and if its a database table then declare:

Data: itab type tbale of ZTABLE_TYPE.
