Hi,

Below code give u the example of nested structure.

REPORT Structure.

TYPES: BEGIN OF name,

title(5) TYPE c,

first_name(10) TYPE c,

last_name(10) TYPE c,

END OF name.

TYPES: BEGIN OF mylist,

client TYPE name,

number TYPE i,

END OF mylist.

DATA list TYPE mylist.

list-client-title = 'Lord'.

list-client-first_name = 'Howard'.

list-client-last_name = 'Mac Duff'.

list-number = 1.

WRITE list-client-title.

WRITE list-client-first_name.

Reward if helpfull.

Hello,

The structure of a data object can be an

elementary field, a

structure, or an

internal table.

Structures and internal tables are complex data obejcts. Since it is possible to combine structures and internal tables in any way, we can can also make a general distinction between different types of structures, internal tables, and data structures.

A structure can be:

A simple structure (as opposed to complex structures). A simple structure is a structure with elementary components.

A nested structure. A nested structure is a structure containing one or more further structures.

A deep structure. Deep structures are structures that contain an internal table as a component, either directly or indirectly).

Here is the sample program with nested structures

REPORT structure1.

TYPES: BEGIN OF name,

title(5) TYPE c,

first_name(10) TYPE c,

last_name(10) TYPE c,

END OF name.

TYPES: BEGIN OF mylist,

client TYPE name,

number TYPE i,

END OF mylist.

DATA list TYPE mylist.

list-client-title = 'Lord'.

list-client-first_name = 'Howard'.

list-client-last_name = 'Mac Duff'.

list-number = 1.

WRITE list-client-title.

WRITE list-client-first_name.

WRITE list-client-last_name.

WRITE / 'Number'.

WRITE list-number.

Why would you want to use nested structures? That's a quagmire you won't get out of. Unless you have a very specific NEED for it, don't bother with them.
