Issue with Tables in with Method Call

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am getting the error:

"ME->GT_EMAIL_ATTACHMENT" IS NOT TYPE-COMPATIBLE WITH FORMAL PARAMETER "ET_EMAIL_ATTACHMENT"

and I can't see why, possibly another set of eyes can do so.

Definition:

    DATA: gt_e070v            TYPE tt_open_repairs,
          gt_username         TYPE tt_send_email,
          gt_email_attachment TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF tt_formatted_message.

    METHODS format_message
            IMPORTING
              it_e070v  TYPE tt_open_repairs
            EXPORTING
              et_email_attachment TYPE tt_formatted_message
            EXCEPTIONS
              format_failed.

implementation:

*----------------------------------------------------------------------*
  METHOD format_message.

    DATA:
          ls_e070v TYPE e070v,
          ls_email_attachment LIKE LINE OF gt_email_attachment.

    LOOP AT gt_e070v INTO ls_e070v.
      MOVE-CORRESPONDING ls_e070v TO ls_email_attachment.
      APPEND ls_email_attachment TO gt_email_attachment[].
    ENDLOOP.

  ENDMETHOD.                             "format_message

Method call:

*--Format the table so that it is more readable
    CALL METHOD format_message
          EXPORTING
            it_e070v = gt_e070v
          IMPORTING
            et_email_attachment = gt_email_attachment
          EXCEPTIONS
            format_failed = 1.

Wel, I don't know what

APPEND ls_email_attachment TO gt_email_attachment[].

will do. Try

APPEND ls_email_attachment TO gt_email_attachment.

instead.

hi Rob,

i had the no bracket there first and was still getting the same error. I put them in as a desperation move.

[Former Member]

OK - is this a syntax error or a dump or something else?

I don't have any error on syntax checks... I assume it if something wrong in my definition?

[Former Member]

So it's a dump?

It's definitely not compatible. You have an EXPORTING parameter declared with type tt_formatted_message and the associated internal table declared with TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF tt_formatted_message. How is tt_formatted_message declared? That's the only thing missing from your post. It looks like you intend to pass a table so the definition of tt_formatted_message needs to be a table type (not a line type) and the associated definition of your internal table would use the same type (drop the STANDARD TABLE OF part).

Try..

DATA: gt_e070v            TYPE tt_open_repairs,
      gt_username         TYPE tt_send_email,
      gt_email_attachment TYPE tt_formatted_message.
