via import parameters. Table should be typed like TYPE TABLE OF <referring to internal table type from Data Dictionary>.

For example in DD you define a Table Type. this will be your reference type in the import parameter.

Table type you define in transaction SE11.

You can also use a local type which you define in SE24 within your class. At the top there is a button with <Local types>.

HI Micky,

Thanks,

I'm currently working on NW 7.0 ,

the table that i want to transfer is declared in se11 (Transp. Table),

when i put the table in the associated type i have just the value type ,like , type ref to ,

(I GETTHIS ERROR WHEN I TRY TO PUT TYPE TABLE OF : The typing method can be 'Like', 'Type', or 'Type Ref To') .

i try to do that via type tab in the code (button direct type entry ) like

a type table of b

my question is if this is the recommended way to do so?

Best Regards

Ricardo

Hi,

In tables parameter use


my_tab LIKE your_db_table_name

or via importing/exporting/changing parameters:

- go to se11, select Data type

- type in new table type in Z_MY_TABLE_TYPE and Create

- select Table type

- Pass description and as Line type type in your DB table name

- activate

- pass this table type to one of FM / method parameter


my_tab TYPE my_new_table_type.

Regards

Marcin
