Passing tables between functions - compilation error ?

Former Member — Wed, 21 Feb 2007 16:32:20 GMT

Hello,

I am trying to append a line to a table and pass this tables in the tables parameter to the other function but i am getting a compilation error. Here is what i have.

in the declaration of function f1 in the tables section i have a table called component:

FUNCTION f1.

*" TABLES

*" COMPONENT STRUCTURE SDOKCOMPRP OPTIONAL

Here i write code to append one line to COMPONENT*******

then i want to call function 'SDOK_PHIOS_FILE_PROPERTIES_GET'

and i am calling it this way:

call function 'SDOK_PHIOS_FILE_PROPERTIES_GET'

tables:

component = COMPONENTS

BAD_OBJECTS = BADOBJ.

Now this is giving a compilation error saying that COMPONENTS is unknow,

After modifying the table in function f1 i want to send it to function ''SDOK_PHIOS_FILE_PROPERTIES_GET' which will modify the table again and return it to fucntion f1. Does anyone know how to do this ?

Thank you'

Hi,

Is this a typo..

You have given the parameter as COMPONENT ..But you are passing COMPONENTS..

*" TABLES

*" COMPONENT STRUCTURE SDOKCOMPRP OPTIONAL

call function 'SDOK_PHIOS_FILE_PROPERTIES_GET'

tables:

component = COMPONENTS

THanks,

if the table is modied by the function f1 it returns sy-subrc = 0 if it is 0 then pass it to function F2 and here to check the sy-subrc and if it is 0 then pass it again to function F1 by calling it.

No it is not a typo,

When i try components = component.

it compiles and works, but this will assign the table components found in function 'SDOK_PHIOS_FILE_PROPERTIES_GET'

to the table component declared in my function f1. But this is not what i want, i want to modify the table component "which is declared in my fucntion and is of the same type of COMPONENTS declared in the second function" after mmodifying it i want to send it to fucntion 'SDOK_PHIOS_FILE_PROPERTIES_GET' to further process it and then i want to send COMPONENTS function from 'SDOK_PHIOS_FILE_PROPERTIES_GET' back to f1 so that i can read the values from it. Any ideas on how to send these tables back and forth ?

thank you

Hi,

I still didn't understand your requirement..

You have the tables parameter

*" COMPONENT STRUCTURE SDOKCOMPRP OPTIONAL

If you don't want to modify the COMPONENT parameter..

Then declare a local internal table..

DATA: T_COMPONENT LIKE SDOKCOMPRP OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.

T_COMPONENT[] = COMPONENT[].

***APPEND THE LINE to the table T_COMPONENT.

pass T_COMPONENT to the FM..

call function 'SDOK_PHIOS_FILE_PROPERTIES_GET'

tables:

component = T_COMPONENT

BAD_OBJECTS = BADOBJ.

If this is not what you want..Please explain your requirement in detail..

Thanks,

Naren

i cannot understand it clearly...

but i wht i think is...

component is an internal table

which ur passing it to function module F1 and here the values in the table component changes, noe u want to send the changed component table to function F2 and here too component table get changed and u want this component table to be send back to function F1...

yes,

f1 has a table call it x, f1 modifies x and want to send it to f2 "f2 is an internal sap function, and has an internal tables called y which is the same type as x" f2 also changes table x and now it returns it to f1 which prints its content. this is what i want to do but it is not working. for some reason, this is not taking place, i am not knowing how to send the tables back and forth,

inside f1 i say

call function 'f2'

tables:

y=x.

but when i am debugging, i enter into fucntion f2 and its copy of table y is not equal to the values inside x, so how to send this table x from f1 to f2 ?
