You have to create the append under a different name, usually starting with "ZA...". Then you can include your structure in this new append.

Actually, since it is a Z-Table, you don't need an append at all, you include your structure directly.

Thats the wrong way of creating Append Structure

Go to the main table in SE11,

Click on Append Structure.

A window will apear, there will be a create button at top row.

click on that , it will ask you for Append structure name

and then it will take you to a screen where you will add fields to that structure.

As others mentioned: it's a Z table so you could simply add the fields in the table.

However, if you choose not to and want your ZSTRUC in ZTABLE, then you need to include ZSTRUC in ZTABLE and not perform an append structure (since it already exists): where you normally insert a field name, type .INCLUDE and as data element insert your structure name.

As Swastik Bharati mentioned you are trying to create the append structure in a wrong way.

The right way to create is through by pressing Append Structure button and then giving a structure name which is not existing.

With in ztable you create an append structure, you cant include append structure out side of that ztable.
