hi

yes u can give ur own fields also in the internal table apart from DB table fields

but u have to populate them explicitly...

like u cant use select <fields> from <dbtable > into table itab..

something like this type...

tables mara.

data : begin of itab occurs 1,

matnr like mara-matnr,

name(20),

end of itab.

select matnr from mara into corresponding fields of table itab.

loop at itab.

itab-name = 'xyz'.

modify itab transporting name .

write : / itab-matnr,

itab-name.

endloop.

*

hope it helps

hi,

u can give but u should create a internal table with TYPES keyword then asign all database fields and your own required fields to find and create a internal table with respect to types.

ex:

types: begin o itab,

matnr like mara-matnr,

ersda like mara-ersda,

ernam like mara-ernam,

num type i,

name type ,

aluri type char,

end of itab.

data: jtab type itab occurs 0 with header line.

\if helpfl reward some points.

Hi,

Yes, you can give field name without corresponding of original tabl, but you should use Corresponding key in syntax.

EXAMPLE:

DATA: BEGIN OF ITAB OCCURS 0,

WAERS LIKE TCURC-WAERS,

ALTWR LIKE TCURS-ALTWR,

END OF ITAB.

SELECT * FROM TCURS INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE ITAB.

Hi mohit,

You can use your own name in internal table.It wont affect DB tables.

But you should use properly.Mostly internal tame will be related to DB table name

For example.

MARA table.

so internal name will be ITAB_MARA or IT_MARA.

before using internal table you have to declare.

example:

DATA : ITAB LIKE MARA OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.

SELECT * FROM MARA INTO TABLE ITAB_MARA WHERE MATNR = MARA-MATNR.

LOOP AT ITAB1.

.................................................

.................................................

....................................................

ENDLOOP.

.

If its useful reward points.

Thanks

Hi Mohil,

Wel i would like to add a point...

u can give ur own names for the Internal table fields...but it wil always good if u maintain the same name....

whenever we are writing a program...we should think in others perspective view also ie good programming...since other should also understand ur coding easily ...for this purpose in every project we use a standard notations for coding techniques like..

for select option should start with S_

parameter P_

Internal table GT_

Types TY_

Global var G_

Local var L_

HI.

It is depending upon your requirement.

First create Work area with all required field and create internal atble if you want particular fileds.

eg:data: begin of wa.

<required fields>

end of wa.

data:itab like table of wa.

ELSE.

if you want all fields from database table

eg:itab like EKKO with header line.

Reward all helpfull answers.

Regards.
