Pattern not working

[shivangi_pant]

Hi experts, I got a question. I am working on a report and to create structure from a table, I am using pattern key... It worked fine for all the tables except bsak and bsik.. I am unable to find the reason so can anyone help me here?? Thanks in advance...

I guess that by "create structure from a table, I am using pattern key" you mean to generate ABAP code by using the Pattern button in SE38/SE80, for declaring a structured data object.

e.g. for BKPF

and selecting 3 columns

you get:

DATA: BEGIN OF ts_bkpf,
        gjahr TYPE bkpf-gjahr,
        budat TYPE bkpf-budat,
        cpudt TYPE bsak-cpudt,
      END OF ts_bkpf.

Unfortunately, BSAK and BSIK are CDS Views in S/4HANA so you can't use this old Pattern button:

With Eclipse/ADT, Quick Assist and Inline Declaration, you don't need to type the component names. Otherwise you're stuck or you need to enhance the standard Pattern or create your own Patten.
