Deep Structures in the Dictionary

[Former Member]

I have create a local type in my program as follows:

TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_local_type.
         INCLUDE some_structure.
TYPES:   tline TYPE tline OCCURS 0,
       END OF ty_local_type.

It works fine, however I need the type to also be available in a smartform so I need to create it in the dictionary (SE11) instead.

Can anyone describe how to include a <b>table</b> (specifically "tline") into a structure in the dictionary?

Hi Stuart,

you have to define a table type first. : z_t_tabletype

se11->datatype->create-> table type

Then you can create a structure and make a component with tahe type z_t_tabletype.

se11: datatype->create->structure

A table type for the structure "tline" already exists - it is called "tline_t".

When I try to include tline_t (Edit -> Include -> Insert) I get the error "Tables of type Table type may not be included".

Doh. I appear to have been very dumb.

It's not Edit -> Include -> Insert I should be using.

You simply use the table type in the component type field of the structure component.
