Adding fields to the local structure including global structure,

[former_member1322119]

Hi there,

i am a fresher and i am new to abap! while coding i got into situation where

global structure holds n fields and

i want to add an extra field without touching the global structure.

i have tried this thing below but it is throwing an error no fields with that name.

TYPES: BEGIN OF lty_zruledate,

zpidrule TYPE z_s_pidrule(global),

date_popu TYPE sy-datum,

END OF lty_zruledate.

LOOP AT it_zpidrule INTO ls_zpidrule.

ls_zpidrule-werks = ls_zpidruledate-zpidrule-werks.

ls_zpidrule-gate_id = ls_zpidruledate-zpidrule-gate_id.

ls_zpidrule-stncd = ls_zpidruledate-zpidrule-stncd.

APPEND ls_zpidruledate TO lt_zpidruledate.

CLEAR:

ls_zpidrule,

ls_zpidruledate.

ENDLOOP.

thanks in advance

It's invalid syntax:

zpidrule TYPE z_s_pidrule(global),

This is valid syntax:

zpidrule TYPE z_s_pidrule,

What are you trying to achieve with "(global)"?

DO YOU MEAN LIKE THIS?

TYPES: BEGIN OF LTY_DEMO.
TYPES: CHECKBOX TYPE C LENGTH 1.  "add new component
    INCLUDE STRUCTURE SFLIGHT.    "Global structure
TYPES:  END OF LTY_DEMO.

DATA: LT_DEMO TYPE TABLE OF LTY_DEMO,
      LS_DEMO LIKE LINE OF LT_DEMO.


SELECT * FROM SFLIGHT INTO TABLE @DATA(LT_SFLIGHT) UP TO 10 ROWS.

LOOP AT LT_SFLIGHT INTO DATA(LS_SFILGHT).
  LS_DEMO-CHECKBOX = 'X'.
  LS_DEMO-CARRID   = LS_SFILGHT-CARRID.
  APPEND LS_DEMO TO LT_DEMO.
  CLEAR: LS_DEMO, LS_SFILGHT.
ENDLOOP.

sandra.rossi Maybe he's trying to say "this is the global structure".

[Sandra_Rossi]

If Z_S_PIDRULE doesn't exist in SE11, and you defined Z_S_PIDRULE with DATA in your program, then syntax should be with LIKE:

zpidrule LIKE z_s_pidrule,

[former_member1322119]

z_s_pidrule is a global structure which exists in se11.

Your question is unclear. Lots of information are missing about the variables you are using, how they are typed. So I can only answer with different code:

TYPES: BEGIN OF lty_zruledate,
  zpidrule  TYPE z_s_pidrule,
  date_popu TYPE sy-datum,
END OF lty_zruledate.
DATA ls_zpidruledate TYPE lty_zruledate.
DATA(werks)     = ls_zpidruledate-zpidrule-werks.
DATA(gate_id)   = ls_zpidruledate-zpidrule-gate_id.
DATA(stncd)     = ls_zpidruledate-zpidrule-stncd.
DATA(date_popu) = ls_zpidruledate-date_popu.
