U can see some ALV prog. which contains COLOR, STYLE functionality, so that, u can get an idea of filling these itabs.

Pls. write here in english to get quick & effective repliyes

types: begin of person, " hier steht im Debugger flat struktur oder structure

name(20) type c,

resid type adres,

end of person.

The above shuld show like,

types: begin of person, " In debug mode, system is saying that, it is a flat strcture or Structure!!

name(20) type c,

resid type adres,

end of person.

thanq
