Accessing a progam variable from a function module

Hi all,

ABAP newbie here, so excuse the silly questions.

This code calls the GUI_UPLOAD function and stores the the values from a csv file into table type i_load.

My thought is that this table should be globally defined so I can access its contents from another function module that will read records.

FUNCTION YMSEN_DEMO.

*"----------------------------------------------------------------------

*"*"Local Interface:

*"----------------------------------------------------------------------

call function 'GUI_UPLOAD'

exporting

filename = 'c:\temp\infile.csv'

tables

data_tab = i_load.

if sy-subrc <> 0.

message s368(00) with 'Unable to read file'.

stop.

endif.

ENDFUNCTION.

So in my program I defined the table as such

*&---------------------------------------------------------------------*

*& Module Pool YMSEN_DEMO

*&---------------------------------------------------------------------*

include ymsen_demotop . " global Data

* INCLUDE YMSEN_DEMOO01 . " PBO-Modules

include ymsen_demoi01 . " PAI-Modules

* INCLUDE YMSEN_DEMOF01 . " FORM-Routines

data: i_load type table of ymsen_t_load.

But when I activate everything I get an error

Field I_load is unknown. It is neither in one of the specified tables nor defined by a "DATA" statement.

Define the data in the top include of the function group, not in the caller program...

(some LyfunctiongroupTOP include)

Hint: Try to double-click the field in the source and follow pop-up guide. (Also re-read your course material)

Regards,

Raymond

PROGRAM YMSEN_DEMO.

data: i_load type table of ymsen_t_load.

after tranfering the variable to the top include the problem is the same
