Error in Include....Pls Suggest

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

I am designing one application. In that application in top include I am declaring one Database table as TABLES ZABC.

I am also desiging selection screen blocks using fields of Table ZABC.

But while activating the TOP include I am getting the message as "ZABC must be a flat structure. You cannot use internal table, strings, references or structures as components."

Can anybody will suggest me what is the root cause & how to resolve it?

Thanks,

Hi Neha,

Please post the data declaration part here.

I believe you might have done some mistake in defining the internal table or Defining the Selection-screen.

Hi Abhii,

I had declared as mentioned below.

TABLES: ZABC.

SELECTION-SCREEN: BEGIN OF BLOCK B1 WITH FRAME TITLE TEXT-001.

SELECT-OPTIONS: S_F1 FOR ZABC-F1 NO-EXTENSION NO INTERVALS,

S_F2 FOR ZABC-F2 NO-EXTENSION NO INTERVALS,

S_F3 FOR ZABC-F3 NO-EXTENSION NO INTERVALS,

SELECTION-SCREEN: END OF BLOCK B1.

I am really surprised to get the error as mentioned earlier.

Hi Neha,

Everything looks okay to me.

Just do some more checks, Have you defined the TABLES declaration in another include & Selection screen in another.

Also check if table ZABC is activated in Data Dictionary.

Also when error is displayed just double click on error & see where in the program the the control points.

Your table may consist of string components. Thats why this error is appearing.

Instead of declaring as a table declare with DATA as below.

* TABLES: ZABC. " Comment it

DATA: ty_so_zabc TYPE zabc.

SELECT-OPTIONS: s1 FOR ty_so_zabc-f1.
SELECT-OPTIONS: s2 FOR ty_so_zabc-f2.
SELECT-OPTIONS: s3 FOR ty_so_zabc-f3.

Hello Experts,

Thanks for your reply. I am not sure why I am getting error. But while following Asik's approch, I am able to declare selection screen.
