Error Table

Former Member — Wed, 18 Apr 2007 19:08:14 GMT

During function calls, I will be importing error tables. What is the best way to import them? I am thinking I shold put them into a itab. What is the code to do that

Should I have something like

begin of itab 
error type string
end of itab

what you decalred will only be a work area.. use types ie

TYpes:begin of typ_itab

error type string

end of typ_itab

data itab type table of typ_itab.

Hi,

It Depends on the type of the importing parameter given in the function module..

Use the same type..Otherwise you might short dumps..

But for general string internal table.You can use

DATA: ITAB TYPE TABLE OF STRING.

When you sue TYPE TABLE OF <something > .. this <something > should be a Table Type either in the Data Dictionary or in your Program..

Hi Suresh,

It will work..if we use TYPE TABLE OF STRING.

Check this example..

data: itab type table of string.

data: wa type string.

wa = 'test'. append wa to itab.clear wa.

wa = 'test123'.append wa to itab.clear wa.

loop at itab into wa.

write: / wa.

endloop.

Thanks,

Naren

Are these function modules that you wrote or are they standard ones? If they are standard ones, you have to use the table type that the function module expects. If it custom function modules, I would recommend designing similar to a BAPI'd RETURN table paramater which is of type BAPIRET2. Then your calling programs can define an internal table of the same type and process it. This will give you some standardization as well as flexibility of using messages.
