[Former Member]

Abapers,

I am declaring internal table like this way in 4.7, will it work in ECC 6.0?

data : begin of i_mara occurs 0,

matkl like mara-matkl,

end of i_mara.

thanks

as also said by others it will work.

however it is obsolete statement in ECC 6.0, so we general avoid using OCCURS statement..

With luck,

Pritam.

Hi,

Yes it will work.

Note: Table with header line shows error in EPC in ecc 6.0.

Yes it will work.

but instead of like better use type, if u use the like ther it will throw an EPC error so better use TYPE instead
of LIKE as showne below.
data :
   begin of i_mara occurs 0,
      matkl type mara-matkl,
   end of i_mara.

Hi,

yes You can use the statement in ECC6.0 also but now it is obsolete statement, so better not to use.

It does work in ECC 6, but the declaration of an internal table using OCCURS is obsolete. The EPC check will throw up a message when you use the declaration. Its better to declare a table using LIKE or TYPE referring to a field string or work area.

DATA:
  Begin of fs_string,
    matkl type mara-maktl,
  End of fs_string.

DATA:
  IT_Table like standard table
                 of fs_string
            initial size 0.
