User-defined SYST Structure

Former Member — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 03:27:04 GMT

This may sound strange, but is there a way to create a structure like SYST and make it available to all ABAP programs the way the SY structure is?

Hi Jglenn,

What is your exact requirement. Please explain why do you want the table like 'SYST'.

Thanks,

Chinmay

Hi ,

Z structure can be created similar to SYST in database dictionary.

This will be avaliable to all ABAP programs.

Only system values will not be populated automatically as in case of system variable.

Hope this helps you.

Yes, I can create a Z structure, but I want it act like the SYST system fields. You can access them like sy-subrc, sy-tabix, etc. without defining anything in your program. I would want the z structure to always be available like SY.

No, you cannot expect your zstructure to act like syst in all standard programs.

Alternatively you can pass the syst structure to your zstructure at runtime

using enhancements related to some particular transactions in which you want

the zstructure to be used.

This is basically what I want to do: I want to set the z struct in the main program and populate it with data. From within the main program, call a function module and have the z struct with the data that was populated in the main program available in the function module. I do not want to pass the data to the FM with import params or tables.
