Hi,

Please change your code as below :


Tables : zemp. " Employee Table

Data: Begin of STREMP1 ,

Empno type zemp-empno,
deptno like zemp-deptno,
empname like zemp-empname,

end of STREMP1.

data : stremp like stremp1 occurs 0 with header line.


STREMP1-Empno = 120.
STREMP1-Deptno = 40.
STREMP1-Empname = 'Jenni'.

append stremp1 to stremp.


Insert into zemp values STREMP.

Thanks,

Sriram POnna.

Hello Jenni

Is there any reason why you do not define your workarea exactly as your DB table???


REPORT Zinsert.

Tables : zemp. " Employee Table

"Data: Begin of STREMP ,
"
"Empno type zemp-empno,
"deptno like zemp-deptno,
"empname like zemp-empname,
"
"end of STREMP.

DATA: gs_STREMP     TYPE zemp.

gs_STREMP-Empno = 120.
gs_STREMP-Deptno = 40.
gs_STREMP-Empname = 'Jenni'.

Insert into zemp values gs_STREMP.

Regards

Uwe

ur data base table has mandt field also..... so declare mandt field in the internal table also u will not get syntax error.. but industry practice is to declare internal table using 'include structure db table' whenevr u do a insert on the custom data base table
