internal table to a form

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am trying the code to pass an internal table with header line to a form .

data: dtab type standard table of itab with header line.

data: dtab1 type standard table of itab1 with header line.

PERFORM lookup USING dtab

CHANGING dtab1.

form lookup using p_dtab type any

changing p_dtab1 type any.

loop at p_dtab.

read table p_dtab1

with key a = p_dtab-a.

move-corresponding p_dtab1 to p_dtab.

endloop.

endform.

What am i doing wrong here ??. It keeps complaining p_dtab not defined in data statement.

thanks

Amit,

Instead of looping at p_dtab use loop on dtab only.

Amey,

Thanks but why am i not able to use p_tab. Am i missing something.If i needed to use dtab i would not even need a subroutine.

thanks

hi amit,

defined the form like this.

FORM LOOKUP USING P_DTAB STRUCTURE ITAB

CHANGING P_DTAB1 STRUCTURE ITAB1.

.....

ENDFORM .

try this ,and i think you will get the result you want

Hi,

Check this code. Let me know if you have any question.

*----------------------------------------------------------------------*
*----------------------------------------------------------------------*
DATA: BEGIN OF itab OCCURS 0,
       a TYPE c,
      END OF itab.

DATA: BEGIN OF itab1 OCCURS 0,
       a TYPE c,
      END OF itab1.

DATA: dtab  LIKE itab  OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA: dtab1 LIKE itab1 OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.

PERFORM lookup TABLES dtab
                      dtab1.

*---------------------------------------------------------------------*
*       FORM lookup                                                   *
*---------------------------------------------------------------------*
*       ........                                                      *
*---------------------------------------------------------------------*
*  -->  P_DTAB                                                        *
*  -->  P_DTAB1                                                       *
*---------------------------------------------------------------------*
FORM lookup TABLES p_dtab  STRUCTURE itab
                   p_dtab1 STRUCTURE itab1.
  LOOP AT p_dtab.
    READ TABLE p_dtab1 WITH KEY a = p_dtab-a.
    MOVE-CORRESPONDING p_dtab1 TO p_dtab.

  ENDLOOP.
ENDFORM.

use TABLES clause and in the subroutine do the operation as mentioned by RS.

Hi..,

It gives syntax error ...like p_dtab is not an internal table...

Because till the runtime , it doesn't the type of the Object p_dtab. In the runtime onli it gets the properties of the DTAB , then onli u can loop at this p_dtab....

So in syntax checking it doesn,t know that it is a table... so it is not allowing the loop at !! that is your problem !!

Hope u understood the problem..

Try this.. this solves your problem !!!

<b>PERFORM lookup USING dtab

CHANGING dtab1.

form lookup using p_dtab type dtab <u><i>** here if it doesnt work , write STRUCTURE instead of TYPE )</i></u>

changing p_dtab1 type dtab1. <u><i>** here also)</i></u>

loop at p_dtab.

read table p_dtab1

with key a = p_dtab-a.

move-corresponding p_dtab1 to p_dtab.

endloop.

endform.</b>

Or u can use the Tables statement also.. as one of the friend suggested !! But the problem in your coding is this !!
