Declaring a table like another table

Former Member — Fri, 21 Jul 2006 20:11:37 GMT

Hello,

I am trying to define another table, say itab, that has the same structure as, say, EDISEGSTRU so that I can use it in the function call: SEGMENTDEFINITION_READ as a parameter for Tables. May I know how can I declare the itab? Thanks a lot!

Regards,

Anyi

In order to reference a structure in the interface of a function module, the structure must be created in the data dictionary. Check that your structure exists via SE11, if so, then you can use it in the tables parameter section of your function module.

 
<b>
Parameter Name       Type Spec   Reference Type</b>
name_of_table        LIKE        EDISEGSTRU

You can use the above statement.
