Function Definition

Former Member — Wed, 22 Jun 2005 15:48:00 GMT

Hi,

As part of declaring a function I am defining myself,

on the "TABLES" tab , I need to define an table made of

just characters , say about 4000.

What is the easiest way to find one which already exists, hence I could give it a name , specify the "LIKE" clause and type in the associated type.

Thanks

Try with 'CRMCH4000'.

Hi,

when I try that , I keep getting

Tables using LIKE may only reference flat structures

I tried with TYPE as well, that give me the same message

Sims, hi

Use the Repository Information System, transaction SE84 (also integrated into SE80 from WAS 6.10).

In the ABAP dictionary folder you can search for data elements and/or domains by type and length (including complex search criteria for both).

If you use table parameters, you must create a flat structure (se11) with a field like CRMCH4000, for example like structure 'MGENWA'.
