Function Module Tables parameter

Former Member — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 05:09:02 GMT

Hi Experts,

Iam creating a Functional Module in ecc 6.0. It is accepting import and export parameters properly. Once I provide the tables parameter with " material " as parameter name , "type" as typing and ztable as Associated type and after pressing enter key, it is giving error saying that

" TABLES parameters are obsolete! ".

Please tell me where it is going wrong.

Your suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,

Murali Krishna T

H Muralii,

SAP does not reccomend use of Tables, since it has high memory consumption and poorer performance.

Alternative : Create an exporting/changing parameter of the Table type/ztable.

If it's a structure you are using, create a Table type for the structure and use.

Least case : You can still use Tables, since it is a warning & make sure you use LIKE instead of TYPE.

Press Enter twice to ignore the message.

Cheers,

Remi

Hi Murali,

You will get a warning, you can still go ahead and use it.

Second option is :

Create a table type for structure and use the table type in Import or Export parameters instead of Tables paramter.

This willl not give you any warning.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Murali,

Tables statement is Absolete now.Instead of using tables you can use Internal table in Import(or) Export statement of FM.

For this you need to Decalre a strcture in database for which you need to pass a table parameter.

For Example , If you want to pass VBAK as Internal table, Declare a Table type of VBAK and Use that in FM

Importing

IT_VBAK = ztt_vbak

here ZTT_VBAK is table type of VBAK

If you want to use your own strcture for internal table, Declare that strcture in Database and create a table type for it and use that

in FM.

Hope this will helpful to you.
