Working with workareas

Former Member — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 11:23:36 GMT

Hello,

I have a problem using workareas:

I want to use a internal table as a puffer:

Data:
BEGIN OF SAPOUTPUTtemp occurs 50,
 PK like Zse11table-PK,
 FNCODE like Zse11table-FNCODE,
END OF SAPOUTPUTtemp.

Furthermore I define a work are like this:

DATA:
wa_Zse11table LIKE Zse11table.

There is a database from se11 I read from:

SELECT * FROM zse11table into corresponding fields of table SAPOUTPUTtemp
WHERE STATE = '0'.

So this code writes everything to my puffer.

Once I want to write the data from puffer to the workarea I wont get a error message but the contents of the workarea is empty:

LOOP AT SAPOUTPUTtemp.
wa_Zse11table-FNCODE = SAPOUTPUTtemp-FNCODE.
wa_Zse11table-MATNR = SAPOUTPUTtemp-MATNR.

Write : / 'Ouput:'.
skip.
write : / wa_Zse11table-FNCODE,
wa_Zse11table-MATNR,
wa_Zse11table-MAKTX,
wa_Zse11table-ZEINR,
wa_Zse11table-MATKL.
ENDLOOP.

As I said the output is empty.

For the background understanding: I want use the workarea to UPDATE the se11 table afterwards. Therefore I copy all the dataset beside the one column I want to change. This one will get the new vallue.

Then I say:

UPDATE Zse11table FROM wa_Zse11table.

Can you help me?

What is wrong with the work area?

The internal table and work area declaration is different and hence u get errors..

You have declared ur internal table with only two fields-

Data:

BEGIN OF SAPOUTPUTtemp occurs 50,

PK like Zse11table-PK,

FNCODE like Zse11table-FNCODE,

END OF SAPOUTPUTtemp

whereas, the work area declaration has all the fields from the structure "Zse11table".

Correction:

Declare internal table like this:

DATA: SAPOUTPUTtemp like Zse11table occurs 50 with header line.

This will solve ur problem!

Thanks,

Shakir

i think insted of writing AS

LOOP AT SAPOUTPUTtemp.

write like

LOOP AT SAPOUTPUTtemp into wa_Zse11table.

then it shoud work.

NOTE : here u r internal table and Work Area must have the same

structure.

Note 2 . : if u r using Work Area then u not required to define Internal Table with Header Line .

Hi,

declare the internal table with header line........

You have internal table with 2 attributes and in the select statement

only 2 field get fetched.

so only....

wa_Zse11table-FNCODE,

wa_Zse11table-MATNR,

should come....but not

wa_Zse11table-MAKTX,

wa_Zse11table-ZEINR,

wa_Zse11table-MATKL.

also check out the update........

it is updating the dbtab with blank fields :

wa_Zse11table-MAKTX,

wa_Zse11table-ZEINR,

wa_Zse11table-MATKL.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Daniel,

Try the below changed code

TYPES:

BEGIN OF ty_sapoutputtemp,

pk LIKE ztdm_sapoutput-pk,

fncode LIKE ztdm_sapoutput-fncode,

END OF ty_sapoutputtemp,

ty_ztdm_sapoutput TYPE zse11table.

DATA:

it_sapoutputtemp TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ty_sapoutputtemp,

it_ztdm_sapoutput TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ty_ztdm_sapoutput.

wa_sapoutputtemp type ty_sapoutputtemp,

wa_ztdm_sapoutput type ty_ztdm_sapoutput.

SELECT * FROM zse11table INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE sapoutputtemp

WHERE state = '0'.

LOOP AT sapoutputtemp INTO wa_sapoutputtemp.

wa_ztdm_sapoutput-fncode = wa_sapoutputtemp-fncode.

wa_ztdm_sapoutput-matnr = wa_sapoutputtemp-matnr.

wa_ztdm_sapoutput-maktx = wa_sapoutputtemp-maktx.

wa_ztdm_sapoutput-zeinr = wa_sapoutputtemp-zeinr.

wa_ztdm_sapoutput-matkl = wa_sapoutputtemp-matkl.

INSERT wa_ztdm_sapoutput INTO it_ztdm_sapoutput.

CLEAR wa_ztdm_sapoutput.

OR.
Lock the data
Use your update statement
Release locked data

WRITE : / 'Ouput:'.

SKIP.

WRITE : / wa_ztdm_sapoutput-fncode,

wa_ztdm_sapoutput-matnr,

wa_ztdm_sapoutput-maktx,

wa_ztdm_sapoutput-zeinr,

wa_ztdm_sapoutput-matkl.

ENDLOOP.

LOck the custom table

MODIFY ztdm_sapoutput FROM TABLE it_ztdm_sapoutput .

Release the lock.

Hopes it will help for you.

thanks sachin, that was the problem.

@ the others: sorry I forgot to mention that I posted only parts of the code in this thread so it doesn't get too unclear.

thank you all.

edit:

I was too fast. That wasn't the point the values from the temp table a walk through are still empty.

I changed the problem another way that is not so performant but I don't find a better solution.
