Passing empty internal table to FM

[Former Member]

Hi,

Is there any way that I can pass an empty or initial internal table to an FM?

In my requirement the FM DDIF_TABL_PUT will be called, at times with internal tables with filled data and sometimes with empty ones, for some of the TABLES parameters . For eg, it is not necessary that DD05M_TAB has value during all the calls to the FM.

When I tried to pass empty IT, I am getting "Interal Error Occured" message.

Do you guys know any solution?

Hi Aparna,

Hi Aparna

In this case you should not pass the empty table also. Please read the documentation it clearly states when you dont have anything to passed do not pass it. 

Caution:

A TABLES parameter is considered to be defined if a table without lines is passed to it. In this case the effect is totally different from that when this parameter is not mentioned in the call."

Hi Aparna,

You can use if statement to check table should not be initial. If its initial then comment DD05M_TAB parameter.

If DD05M_TAB is initial.

CALL FUNCTION 'DDIF_TABL_PUT'

   EXPORTING

     NAME              = 'ZMARA1'

     DD02V_WA          = TABLE_HEADER

     DD09L_WA          = TECHN_SET

   TABLES

     DD03P_TAB         = LT_FIELDS " Table fields

*     DD05M_TAB        = LT_05M_TAB     "Comment DD05M_TAB

Else.

CALL FUNCTION 'DDIF_TABL_PUT'

   EXPORTING

     NAME              = 'ZMARA1'

     DD02V_WA          = TABLE_HEADER

     DD09L_WA          = TECHN_SET

   TABLES

     DD03P_TAB         = LT_FIELDS " Table fields

     DD05M_TAB        = LT_05M_TAB " Remove comment

endif.

Hi Shailesh,

But there is a combination of four tables to be passed.

That would make your solution too tedious. Is there any other way out?

Hey, I got it working with another FM DD_TABL_PUT.

This FM accepts blank internal tables.

Thank you guys for all the help.
