Doubt regarding the statement declaration within method and endmethod

[lakshminarasimhan_n4]

Hi,

I have a method and i have coded the below inside the method,

Types : begin of itab,

vbelv type /bic/oizopp_num, " opportunity number

vbeln type /bic/oizquot_num, " quotation number

vbeln_a type /bic/oizord_num, " sales order number

vbtyp_n type /bic/oizvbtyp, " category either A or B or C

end of itab.

Data : it type standard table of itab.

Data : wa_it type line of itab.

Data : it_vbfa type standard table of vbfa.

Data : wa_vbfa type line of vbfa.

Now when i check the syntax of the program i get the error "Type VBFA unknown.".

i am suprised why the standard table declaration is not recognized.

I know that we cannot use "Tables" statement.

Please guide me to resolve the issue.

Regards,

You are declaring work area incorrectly. Should be either like this

Data : wa_vbfa like line of it_vbfa.

or

data wa_vbfa type vbfa.

Hi,

You can't you like in OOPS. In case of local data declare and you can give the refrence of local data in current scope.

Actually the code is typed in BI system and BI system does not have table VBFA. Its only available in R3 system. Hence the error.
