Hello experts,

I wanna a include a table into each item in VBRP.

TYPES: BEGIN OF ITM_INFO_LN,

...

END OF ITM_INFO_LN.

TYPES ITM_INFO_TAB TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ITM_INFO_LN.

TYPES BEGIN OF CART_MAT_TYP.

INCLUDE TYPE VBRP.

TYPES T_ITM_INFO TYPE ITM_INFO_TAB OCCURS 0.

TYPES END OF CART_MAT_TYP.

Error Message: ITM_INFO_TAB has a generic type. Use of this type is only possible for typing field symbols and formal parameters.

Best regards,

For one, I don't think you need the TYPES keyword before "T_ITEM_INFO TYPE ITM_INFO OCCURS 0".

As fas as the error message you are getting, can you post a screenshot of your code and the error?

Hi ts,

That error could be rectified by the following code :

TYPES BEGIN OF CART_MAT_TYP.

INCLUDE TYPE VBRP.

TYPES T_ITM_INFO TYPE ITM_INFO_LN.

TYPES END OF CART_MAT_TYP.

and for the detailed description why the error occurred go through the link below :

Hello Kumar Akshat,

What does 'OCCURS 0' mean?

You can see the SAP Help documentation on that - just do an F1 on the keyword. In short, it's an obsolete way to declare internal tables in ABAP. The zero after OCCURS can be a non-zero number giving an indication about the anticipated size of the internal table.
