Hi,

My requirement is like that i declare one internal table like:

TYPES: BEGIN OF wa_mathead,

matkl TYPE matkl, "Material Group

mvgr1 TYPE mvgr1, "Material Class

matnr TYPE matnr, "Material

end of wa_mathead.

now i want to declare another internal table say itab with some new fields and including wa_mathead structure.

how can i do that.

Amit.

Hi Jony,

matkl TYPE matkl, "Material Group
mvgr1 TYPE mvgr1, "Material Class
matnr TYPE matnr, "Material
end of wa_mathead.

TYPES: BEGIN OF wa_mat1,
   additional fields,
   *INCLUDE TYPE wa_mathead.*
end of wa_mat1.

Probably a little closer to this example.


DATA:
  BEGIN OF wk_0500_scr_rec.
        INCLUDE STRUCTURE zlmfoll.
DATA:
  cont_ty_2 LIKE zlmfoll-cont_ty,
  END OF wk_0500_scr_rec.

INCLUDE STRUCTURE is not valid in all contexts and should be avoided.

Simply use the type you've defined in the definition of your table:

TYPES: BEGIN OF wa_mathead,
        matkl TYPE matkl, "Material Group
        mvgr1 TYPE mvgr1, "Material Class
        matnr TYPE matnr, "Material
      end of wa_mathead.

TYPES: BEGIN OF itab_rec_type,
         hdr TYPE wa_mathead, 
         f1  TYPE blah,
....

You'll have to acess the header data of a record of your itab as wa-hdr-matkl.
