incompatible formal parameter in from a Perform program

Former Member — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 23:17:44 GMT

hello abapers!

I am new to abap and having trouble with this error message

In PERFORM or CALL FUNCTION "EXECUTE", the actual parameter "INT_EMP" is incompatible with the formal parameter "E_INT_EMP".

I have this include statement written out

Include ZPERFORMSUB

Hi,

The problem is that your are passing parameters as follow:-

PERFORM EXECUTE USING INT_EMP[] I
                                            INT_SAL[] 
                                            INT_FINAL[]
                                            WA_EMP
                                            WA_SAL
                                             WA_FINAL

The form is defined as follows:-

FORM EXECUTE USING E_INT_EMP    TYPE EMP
                                      E_INT_SAL    TYPE PAY
                                      E_INT_FINAL TYPE FINAL
                                      E_WA_EMP   TYPE EMP
                                      E_WA_SAL  TYPE PAY
                                      E_WA_FINAL TYPE FINAL.

If you notice that you are passing internal table INT_EMP to parameter E_INT_EMP and so on.

However the parameter E_INT_EMP if of TYPE EMP.

The type EMP is declared as follows:-

TYPES: BEGIN OF EMP, 
                NO    TYPE Z105TT216EMPNO,
               AGE   TYPE Z105TT216_EMP-EMPAGE,
               NAME TYPE Z105TT216_EMP-EMPNAME, 
               SEX    TYPE Z105TT216_EMP-EMPSEX,
           END OF EMP

So it is just a structure and not a table. So you cannot pass a table to a structure.

That is why you get the error.

If you want to pass an internal table to the parameter E_INT_EMP .

Then E_INT_EMP should have a table type instead.

Declare a table type as follows:-

TYPES : TT_EMP TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF EMP.

Then use it in the form definition as follows:-

FORM EXECUTE USING E_INT_EMP    TYPE TT_EMP

Similary do it for the other tables.
