Hi Tony,

Use <b>TYPES</b> in place of <b>data</b> in declaration.

Refer this code :

Types: BEGIN OF wa_file,

matnr(15) TYPE c,

v1 TYPE c VALUE ',',

maktx(30) TYPE c,

v2 TYPE c VALUE ',',

v3(15) TYPE c VALUE '""',

END OF wa_file.

Reward points if helpful.

Hi Tony,

ya, Its Correct. You can Simplify your code like,

data : Begin of wa_file,

matnr(15), -

---

> System knows that its a type c.

v1 type c value ' ',

maktx(30),

v2 TYPE c VALUE ' ',

v3(15) TYPE c VALUE ' ',

end of wa_file.

Thanks.

Reward if Helpful.

Ok. thanks.

However, these values inserted are cancelled by a clear wa_file.

Is there a command that blocks these values inserted in the declarations(as constants for example)?

you can use a temporary workarea and use that

data : wa_file_temp type wa_file.

move-corresponding wa_file to wa_file_temp.

then use wa_file_temp for calculation purposes and u can use

CLEAR wa_file_temp.
