internal table

[Former Member]

Hi all,

This could be a silly question!! i have a z table with about 70 fields . I have a lot of criteria to check if a record canbe inserted into the ztable.

My questions is i have an internal table with include structure of the ztable. Is it possible to add a field to the internal table - tab- status and then the structure of the table. or do i need to write the internal table with 70 fields + the status. The status is for error check or success check.

data: begin of data occurs 0.

include structure ztable.

data: end of data.

this is what i am presently using how do i add the extra field to this internal table.

this field will not be inserted into the z table but just to check if the record can be inserted or no.

thanks in advance.

Hi,

You don't have to type all 70 fields.

You can do like this.

data: begin of data occurs 0.

include structure ztable

data : status(1),

end of data.

Thanks

Hi,

You can always include structure & add fields to the internal table definition.

So you can define your Internal table as.

data: begin of data occurs 0.

include structure ztable.

data:new_field(10),

.....

.....

data: end of data.

you can add the fields along with include structure in the following way....

data: begin of data occurs 0. 
include structure ztest.
data : status(1), 
end of data.

try this..

you USE

data: begin of data occurs 0.

include structure ztable.

<b>data : v_tab(1) type c.</b>

data: end of data.

so now you will have DATA internal table with some records.but you cant use directly insert command with DATA internal table (if you add field V_TAB).

create a structure of same type ZTABLE.

so in loop at DATA.

move-corresponding DATA TO ZTABLE.

INSERT ZTABLE FROM ZTABLE.

*--check subrc/dbcnt & proceed further.

endloop.
