Khan,

Do it this way

DEFINE m_fieldcat.
    itfieldcat-fieldname = &1.
    itfieldcat-col_pos = &2.
    itfieldcat-seltext_l = &3.
    itfieldcat-emphasize = &4.
    itfieldcat-outputlen = &5.
    append itfieldcat to itfieldcat.
    clear itfieldcat.
END-OF-DEFINITION.


  m_fieldcat 'AENNR'    '' 'Change Number'  '' 12.
  m_fieldcat 'REVLV'    '' 'Revision Level' '' 02.
  m_fieldcat 'TEXT1'    '' 'Description'    '' 250.

Hi,

obviously you don't know how to use macro. Why don't you start with reading documentation for ABAP statement DEFINE? It has a nice example of simple macro with good explanation. You should try to understand solution for your problem, not just copy and paste solution from different sources such as this forum.

Good luck
