include table in structure

[Former Member]

Hi,

I've a requirement wherein i have to define a internal table , this internal table should have all fields of a standard table say MARA plus some new fields. I don't want to declare its as follows,

begin of rec,

fielda like mara-fielda,

fieldb like mara-fieldb,

customfield type i,

end of rec.

I've tried following method,

begin of rec,

include type MARA,

customfield type i,

end of rec.

But for any field of mara in structure i've refer to it as tab_include-fielda .....Is there any way to refer to it directly like tab-fielda (tab is my internal table of type rec)

Bye

Hi,

Thanks for your interest, Ive tried following code but its giving syntax error

begin of st_it,

include structure mara,

pick,

end of st_it.

The syntax error is "," expected after include.

Kindly help.

begin of st_it,

include structure mara,

pick,

end of st_it.

try:

>types: begin of st_it.

>types: include structure mara,

> pick,

> end of st_it.

Hi Mac,

You need to write your code like this:

DATA: begin of st_it.

include structure mara.

data: pick,

end of st_it.

try this and let me know.

Hi,

You can do one thing

Go to se11 and create a structure say ZMARA.

there include mara and your other required fields in structure ZMARA like .INCLUDE in field name and MARA in component name.

in se 38 declare 'itab like table of zmara with header line' and use the itab

thanks nd regards

beware at the last character of the line, I highlighted:

TYPES : BEGIN OF ty_... . "dot
INCLUDE STRUCTURE mara. "dot 
TYPES : field1 TYPE ..., "comma
field2 TYPE ..., "comma
END OF ty_... . "dot
