Include in Structure - Use Field directly

casualCoder — Wed, 18 Oct 2023 12:29:14 GMT

Hi,

I have included a locally defined Structure in another one.

  TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_record,
           v_begda(10),
           v_endda(10),
       END OF ty_record.

  TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_final_struc,
           INCLUDE TYPE ty_record,
           fsc     TYPE atwrt,
         END OF ty_final_struc.

TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_record,

v_begda(10),

v_endda(10),

END OF ty_record.

TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_final_struc,

INCLUDE TYPE ty_record,

fsc TYPE atwrt,

END OF ty_final_struc.

Is it possible to dissolve the Include so I can directly access the Fields?

Now, I can only access them like this:

 my_struc-include-v_begda = ''.

my_struc-include-v_begda = ''.

Background:

I want to move a filled Table to another one with more Fields in it, but with this Include Structure I cannot use MOVE-CORRESPONDING.

Hello 2cc6e3524cb643fb927edcf872d70427

TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_final_struc.
         INCLUDE TYPE ty_record.
TYPES:
         fsc TYPE atwrt,
       END OF ty_final_struc.

Best regards

raymond.giuseppi If you replace 'INCLUDE TYPE' with a 'STRUCTURE', you'll get

  TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_record,
           v_begda(10),
           v_endda(10),
       END OF ty_record.

  TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_final_struc,
           STRUCTURE ty_record,
           fsc     TYPE atwrt,
         END OF ty_final_struc.

That won't even compile.

I'm pretty sure you've got an example in the ABAP Documentation for "INCLUDE TYPE".
