Hi,

Here are the steps for creating the structure.

1) Go to transaction SE11.

2) Check the radio button "data element", enter the name of the structure Z*** or Y*** and click the create button.

3) You will be prompted to selected whether it is a data element or structure or table type. Select the structure radio button and click okay.

4) Now enter all the data elements one by one that you want in the structure. If you are creating a structure using existing data elements, all the associated component type, data type length, etc will be automatically picked up and displayed by the system. If you are creating a structure with new data element, you should first create those data elements using SE11 prior to creating the structure. The process for the data eleemnt is similar as the structure.

5) Next, save, check and activate the structure. This structure can be used in any of your function module or program.

regards

Hello Jiku

Of course there are function modules available for creating structures. Have a look at function group SDIF.

If you structure consists of fields out of existing structures and tables I would recommend to read the meta-data of these structures/tables using function module DDIF_TABL_GET.

Collect the required fields for your structure. Next call function module DDIF_TABL_PUT.

Finally, activate your new structure using DDIF_TABL_ACTIVATE.
