What is the objective?

You can use the declarations like that in a internal table. If you want just the year part of the date, you can use the data element GJAHR for reference instead of giving like this.

Hello Kranthi,

Since u r not mentioning the refrence field ERDAT(4) will be character variable of length 4.

The code u have written for declaring the Itab. is correct.

If useful reward points.

ya u can take any variable of any length ...

but erdat is used for date...

if u fetch date value in this variable it show error.

if u want only the year there , use

erdat(4) type n

Yes u can . the control would treat it as a field of character field of length 4.
