Tables in the subroutine

Former Member — Tue, 16 Oct 2007 07:58:50 GMT

Hi All,

Can I declare tables in the subroutine?

Since I am accessing table fields in the subroutine I need to declare them in subroutine.

Is it a bad practice or what?

Regards,

Shaily

Hi Shaily,

Yes u can definitely use tables in a subroutine.

The syntax goes like this :

PERFORM subroutine_name TABLES itab1 USING field1 changing field2.

In this the TABLES should always preceed the USING and CHANGING addition.

then in the definition of subroutine, the code goes like this :

FORM subroutine_name TABLES itab1 structure <Structure same as that of itab> USINg field1 CHANGING field2.

Hope it helps.

Regards,

Himanshu

variable declared with tables statement are always global , whether u declare it in the main prog or a subroutine.. they are always accessable globally.,..

so it is always recommended to declare tables in the main prog.

hi,,

all tables which u are using in a subrotine should be declared in program n not in subroutine as u r calling sub routines using perform statement using tables keyword u must call. if u dont declare them in main program u ll get an error stating dat tables ........... are not declared.

generally wat objects u require locally are declared in a sub routine using keyword LOCAL.

if useful reward some points.

with regards,

Suresh Aluri.

My subroutine is in a include , which is again in standard User exit(FM).

I cannot declare the tables in the FM global data as it is standard Program.

Should I use subroutine also within this Include is a doubt for me...

Only problem is I wanted if use the statement :

<b>Tables: mara,mard.</b>

I want to confirm if this is not a bad practice.
