INSERT DATA TO STRUCTURE

Former Member — Thu, 09 Nov 2006 20:02:40 GMT

Hi!

How can I insert data in a structure ?

For example:

I have this code to insert data in a table of db:

REPORT ZLOAD.

tables T006a.

data: tab type standard table of T006a with header line.

tab-mandt = '100'.

tab-spras = 'D'.

tab-msehi = 'G'.

tab-mseh3 = 'G'.

tab-mseh6 = 'g'.

tab-mseht = 'g'.

tab-MSEHL = 'Gramm'.

move-corresponding tab to T006A.

insert T006A.

but,if I want to insert data in the structure RMMG1, which is the form?

Thanks.

Hi Ana,

change the last two lines to as written below:

append tab.

insert t006a from tab.

Sajan.

ANNEX: you cannot insert data into a DDIC structure..Structures doesnt hold data except in runtime..

you can move data to a structure..but that will not get saved in the database.

rmmg1 = tab will polulate the structure rmmg1 when the header line of tab is not initial (if initial read with index 1).

Hi, welcome to SDN. There are couple things wrong with your program, first, you are trying to directy update a standard SAP table which is not a good idea. Second you are using the header line of an internal table as a work area which is not a good programming practice. If tab was a work area, defined like below, then really you are filling a structure(or work area), this is how you would fill the structure RMMG1, remember that a structure defined in the data dictionary does not actually hold data, it is just a skeleton or blue print of how the data may look, usually structures are used to defined the fields in a screen and the data is moved from the database table into the structure at runtime of the program.

data: tab type  T006a  .
