Hi,

if you need to pass a data from internal table into a function module you need to create a structure (data type) and then use this structure to create table type(data type). Both objects can be created in tcode SE11.

Karol

Hi Seman,

Other than creating the structure is there any other way to pass an internal table to report fromfunction module.

Please help me in finding the solution for this.

you may use memory : EXPORT ... TO MEMORY... in the function module, and IMPORT ... FROM MEMORY ... in the report.

If we are talking about RFC function module we cannot use it (the function module is used in different system than report).

Yes, there are also other possibilities. You have possibility to not specify table type in the function module. Then it will use automatically the type you are using in your report when you call FM.

You can also look at FM TABLE_ENTRIES_GET_VIA_RFC which is reading data from any DDIC table and passing values back ...

Okay. So: you may use memory : EXPORT ... TO MEMORY... in the function module, and IMPORT ... FROM MEMORY ... in the report.

Function module normally have Export and import and Tables parameter.

So you ca nuse this parameters to pass the data back to your report.
