How to use VALUE in a method

[former_member648393]

Hi,

I'm trying to learn the new 7.4 ABAP syntax for Value and adding new records into an internal table. I have code like:

BEGIN OF ty_data,
           fld1 TYPE CHAR10,
           fld2 TYPE i,
           fld3 TYPE i,
END OF ty_data.
data: it_data type standard table of ty_data.

do 10 times.
  it_data = value #( base it_Data ( fld1 = 'ITERATION'
                                    fld2 = sy-index
                                    fdl3 = 1 ) ).
enddo.

This works. But when I do this in a method and parameterize the internal table as a changing parameter, I get: No component exists with the name "(". "(". error.

  methods example
    changing
      !C_DATA type ty_data.
 methods example
   c_data = value ty_data( base it_Data ( fld1 = 'ITERATION'
                                          fld2 = sy-index
                                          fdl3 = 1 ) ).
 

What am I doing wrong?

@Dae Jin Swope I noticed one thing, there is spell mistake in last line it should be fld3 = 1, as in your declaration it is fld3. Also I tried with below similar code and it doesn't give any syntax, you can try like below.

CLASS lcl_local DEFINITION.
  PUBLIC SECTION.
    TYPES:ty_t009 TYPE TABLE OF t009.
    METHODS example
      CHANGING
        c_data TYPE ty_t009.
ENDCLASS.




CLASS lcl_local IMPLEMENTATION.
  METHOD example.
    c_data = VALUE #( BASE c_data ( mandt = '100'
                                    periv = 'Z9' ) ).
  ENDMETHOD.
ENDCLASS.

Hi Thanga,

Thanks for the quick feedback. Yes, you're right. Those are typos when writing up the sample code. I can try to fix it if I can edit my original post. Using your example, can you try this:

CLASS lcl_local DEFINITION.
  PUBLIC SECTION.

    METHODS example
      CHANGING
        c_data TYPE t009.
ENDCLASS.


CLASS lcl_local IMPLEMENTATION.
  METHOD example.
    c_data = VALUE #( BASE c_data ( mandt = '100'
                                    periv = 'Z9' ) ).
  ENDMETHOD.
ENDCLASS.<br>

It's because you declared your parameter as type TY_DATA which is a structure instead of a table type...

Thanks Sandra! That did the trick.
