Table Parameters Obsolete

Former Member — Mon, 20 Nov 2006 20:10:50 GMT

I am trying to create a BW Generic Extractor. It insists on me having a "Tables" parameter in my function module called 'E_T_DATA'.

On NW2004s, I am unable to create such a parameter since it is obsolete. Is there a way around this, since SAP themselves are not fully compliant with this restriction?

If it is a program use this

DATA: IT_E_T_DATA TYPE TABLE OF <Structure>.

or create a table type in SE11 for same.

This will work.

Hi,

The work around would be create the "Table Type" in SE11 and you can use this table type as <b>exporting/changing</b> parameter.

Thanks for the responses. I am stuck because transaction RSO2, which is used to create a generic extractor for BW, insists on having a TABLES parameter, and it issues an error saying "Table parameter E_T_DATA is missing".

So it is a bit of a Catch-22 situation. SAP insists on a tables parameter, but it won't let me create one.

Hi Jerry,

Please check your components of the structure which should be referenced in the tables parameters. For the components you are for example not allowed to use Strings, References, etc.

The error message you get is probably not the real issue.
