Hi,

what does you mean with container ?

Usually (in ABAP) containers are used in control programming.

Hi,

can you be more explicit please??

The value ranges (for example) usually are defined in the value table connected to a domain or in a search help (based on table or view) or in a type-pools (a group of data declarations). But they aren't container both.

Do you have an example of the transaction you speak about?

Thank you

Andrea

Hi,

in the transaction DWDM you cannot create any container.

DWDM transaction, show some example about containers programming with ABAP.

Double clik on the examples on the left to watch some very good example programs about container programming.

If you tell us what you have to develop in more depth, probably will are able to give you better suggestion or where to look.

Bye

Yes, DWDM is the transaction which gives you examples about the control framework.

You mentioned containers, the control framework uses screen containers to embed the control into. The example are there. You need now not "create" a container via some other transaction. You simply add UI element in screen painter to your screen, it is called "Customer Container". You give it a name, and then in the PBO of your screen, you create the container object by using the CREATE OBJECT statement. Then embed the control(ALV, text editor, picture, etc) into this container. The examples will show this coding.

Is this related to your other questions? Are you trying to build a test script for a FM?

Are you talking about system data container in eCATT? If so, go to transaction STWBM, there you will have options to create a system data container.

Go to SE37 and execute your FM.

Enter the data you want to use as test on the 'Test FM' screen.

Press the save button and and enter something in the comments box

Any time you want to test the FM, you can then press the 'Test data directory' button when you execute it and get the data you just entered.
