You can not use an internal table as a parameter.

Hi Yu,

Try like this. Instead of Parameter use Data to define the field lt_prodnr.

types: prodnr(3) type n.

types: pnr TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF prodnr WITH DEFAULT KEY.

<b>DATA</b>: lt_prodnr type pnr.

This should work.

Reward points if helpful.

oic! Thanks Rich.

Originally I want to define internal table PARAMETERS in the program with NO-DISPLAY and then SUBMIT this program by WITH v1 = value1...

Then if I want to pass internal table to the program which will be submitted in background, how can I do?

I think the easiest way would be to have the submitting program export the internal table to memory and have the submitted program import it.

You can do this using the EXPORT and IMPORT statements.

data: itab type table of mara.


export itab = itab to memory id 'ZRICHTEST'.

SUBMIT zrich_0002 and return.

Then in the submitted program......



data: itab type table of mara.

import  itab = itab from  memory id 'ZRICHTEST'.

loop at itab.

write:/ itab-matnr, itab-mtart.
endloop.
