SELECT-OPTIONS in global class definitions

[Former Member]

I'd like to 'type' selection ranges inside a global class created with SE24.

For example:

The data element PRODH_D (Product hierarchy) has no range structure or range table in SE11.

Before I go to the trouble of defining the structure and table type in SE11, I'd like to define them in my global class and then use the 'type' for selection parameters.

For example:

types: begin of ty_kunnr_select,

sign(1) type c,

option(2) type c,

low type kunnr,

high type kunnr,

end of ty_kunnr_select.

data: st_kunnr_range type ty_kunnr_select.

data: ta_kunnr_range type standard table of ty_kunnr_select.

I've tried entering the code in multiple areas of the global class. I can get the code to compile just fine. But, when I try to use the type with a parameter definition of a method it won't compile.

Does anyone know how to do this?

A type pool is not needed instead create the type in the classs attributes public section, then this will be available for all method interfaces. Beter than a type-pool is to create a DDIC object directly.

Hi,

Create a TYPE-POOL and store in it your global fields. At your "Properties" screen(SE24) add your type pool. Then you can use your types.

Thank you very much Svetlin. That worked perfectly.

I'm a newbie in using global classes and this really cleared up a major stumbling block for me.

not direcly related to your problem but you can save some lines by declaring the type with the range statement:

types : ty_kunnr_range type range of kunnr.

Exactly where have you tried to put this code, in the Types Section.
