export tables in custom function module

[Former Member]

I am creating a custom function module and want to return a table of contacts i_contacts.

In the global data area I created a structure

TYPES: BEGIN OF t_contacts,

prsnr TYPE knvk-prsnr,

contactinfo TYPE adr6-smtp_addr,

END OF t_contacts.

And then in my interface I am trying to include as a table

i_contacts like t_contacts

But it keeps saying t_contacts not defined. Does that mean I have to define t_contacts as a global structure in SE11. Isnt there another way to define an internal table in the interface. Please advice.

Hi..

Declare like this..

Data: i_contacts type standard table of t_contacts.

i_contacts like t_contacts does not work because t_contacts is not an internal table with header line.

Hope this helps.

I am not doing a data declratation in the program

I want to do declaration in the interface of the function module

Hi

In the interface also you can declare the same way.

Hope it helps.

Create one structure in SE11 like t_contacts

then use that structure in SE37.

Thanks

Hi

Declare it in global variables and use it ..

Data: i_contacts type standard table of t_contacts.

create in SE11. You cannot declare and use within the function module.
