unicode error in MODIFY dtab

Former Member — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 16:16:06 GMT

Hi all,

I am trying to correct a unicode error.

this is the error, when i try to activate the code.

"The work area (or internal table) "w_inttab" is not flat, or

contains reference or internal tables as components . components.

components. components. components."

and the error is due to this code line:

" MODIFY zdtab FROM TABLE w_inttab."

the structure of W_ZCONSMPKG is"

DATA: BEGIN OF w_inttab OCCURS 0.

INCLUDE STRUCTURE zdtab.

DATA: msgs LIKE message_body OCCURS 0,

END OF w_inttab.

can anyone please tell me how to rectify this?

Thanks in advance.

goldie.

Try to move the final details into a internal table that has same structure as zdtab and then use Modify.

Currently your internal table is not a flat structure as it has another message component. This is causing the error.

hi,

it happens evry time you use a nasted structure and a field is also a table or data reference

try this way.

>data: ls_zdtab type zdtab.

>loop at w_inttab.

>move-corresponding w_inttab to ls_zdtab.

>modify zdtab from ls_zdtab.

>endloop.

Hi,

Declare a work area for w_inttab


types : begin of t_zdtab.
   include structure zdtab.
types : end of t_zdtab.

data : w_inttab type t_zdtab.
