HR Reporting

Former Member — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 15:27:58 GMT

Hello everyone,

I am curently wrting a HR report using the PROVIDE * FROM 2001 in my report.

The screen start and end dates are 01/01/2009 and 31/12/2009.

When I debug my program and look at the contents of the P2001 record by

typeinf in p2001-begda it displays 01/01/2009. But the actual contents of

the field on the database is 15/12/2008.

I can see this when i type p2001[1]-begda in the debugger.

How can i reference this p2001[1]-begda at the code level. When I enter

wa_start_date = p2001[1]-begda I get an error.

Any ideas anyone ??

you will have to PROVIDE FIELDS * FROM P2001 INTO your_structure_2001 ...

see documentation for exact syntax

your_structure_2001will contain 20090101

ABAP doesn't use arrays

Youn can't use p2001[1]-begda.

Use this

data l_it2001 like p2001.

read table from pa2001 into l_it2001 index 1.
