problem with BSP tutorial from SAP website

[Former Member]

Hello friends

I am trying to learn BSP using the tutorials from SAP website.

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/1a/c5133a62983c0ae10000000a114084/frameset.htm

I have checked and re-checked the steps and I have done everything correctly.

During tutorial 2, it fails to activate giving errors like

Type AUTHOR_TAB doesn't exist.

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/47/113ef6c77911d4ad320000e83539c3/content.htm

Similarly BOOK_TAB doesnt exist either.

The Type 'BSBOOKLINE' is unknown. This is due to the code on page

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/47/113ef9c77911d4ad320000e83539c3/content.htm

Similarly 'BSAUTHLINE' is unknown.

Please let me know what i am supposed to be doing. I am pretty new at ABAP and BSP.

Thanks

Hi... Infact I was going thru the same tutorial for basic learning.. In that tutorial while defining the authors and books in page attributes.. u need to take declare ur own associated type and then define that type in TYPE DEFINITION tab separately using types statement .

can consider this example

IN page attributes tab

Attribute         Typing      Associated type
 
AUTHORS     TYPE          TAUTHORS 

Now u need to define this TAUTHORS in TYPE DEFINITION tab like

 types TAUTHORS like table of BSAUTHORS.

Hope this works for you . It worked for me.

Thank you,

Kusuma
