Problem with deep structure in OO Context

[Former Member]

Dear All

As we know deep structures with occurs 0 cannot be declared in Object Oriented context (will give a syntax error). Can some1 please suggest a workaround. I need to declare the following structure in a BADI implementation. But it is a deep structure & gives a syntax error.

BEGIN OF WI

OCCURS 0,

MINDX LIKE SY-INDEX, "Index Merkmal
WINDX LIKE SY-INDEX, "Index in Datentabelle
WSELE TYPE C, "Kz. selektiert
WOHNE TYPE C, "Kz. ohne Wertedefinition
WWERT TYPE C, "Kz. weitere Werte vorhanden
ATSON TYPE C, "Kz. Sonderwerte erlaubt
ESWRT TYPE C, "Kz. Eingeschränkter Wertebereich
SSTRG TYPE C, "Kz. Stringsuche
STATU TYPE C, "Status

ATWRT LIKE CAWN-ATWRT, "Wert sprachneutral

Help needed urgently!!

Hi Buddy

I did try this, but it does not allow me to use a 'type table of" statement inside the types declaration. It gives a syntax error <b>"You cannot use generic type definitions within structures".</b>

Hi Dude,

Try this. Let me know in case u hav any probs..

REPORT  zztest_deeptypes                        .


*--Consider VL    TYPE VALUE_DESCRIPTION,
TYPES : BEGIN OF value_description_line,
        matnr TYPE mara-matnr,
        END OF value_description_line,                                                                        "Line type
        value_description_table TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF value_description_line INITIAL SIZE 0 WITH DEFAULT KEY,"Table type

*--This is my deep structure
        BEGIN OF wi_line ,
        mtart      TYPE mara-mtart,
        t_value    TYPE value_description_table,
        END OF wi_line,
        wi_table  TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF wi_line INITIAL SIZE 0.

*--Create a data variable
DATA : it_deep  TYPE wi_table WITH HEADER LINE,
       wa_value TYPE value_description_line.


CLEAR :  it_deep[],
         it_deep-t_value[],
         wa_value.

*--Material type of HALB and Materials as a deep structure
it_deep-mtart          = 'HALB'.

wa_value-matnr         = 'MATHALB1'.
APPEND wa_value TO it_deep-t_value.

wa_value-matnr         = 'MATHALB1'.
APPEND wa_value TO it_deep-t_value.

wa_value-matnr         = 'MATHALB2'.
APPEND wa_value TO it_deep-t_value.

APPEND it_deep.

BREAK-POINT.

Hello Sudhir

Define your complex structures using <b>type definitions</b>, e.g.:

TYPES:
  ty_s_vl     TYPE value_description,
  ty_t_vl      TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ty_s_vl
                           WITH DEFAULT KEY.

TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_s_wi.
TYPES:   mindx    TYPE sy-index.
TYPES:   windx     TYPE sy-index.
TYPES:   ...
TYPES: vl              TYPE ty_t_vl.  " table type
TYPES: END OF ty_s_wi.
TYPES: ty_t_wi      TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ty_s_wi
                             WITH DEFAULT KEY.

DATA:
  ls_entry TYPE ty_s_wi,
  lt_itab    TYPE ty_t_wi.

Dear Arun/Arnie

<b>I really apprecitiate all ur effort. But u seem to have failed to notice the actual problem that I am facing.</b>

I know it is simple to declare a deep structure in a report program, absolutely no problem, but I am not able to do so in OO context, i.e. i am not able to create a deep structure in a method. Please address this problem if u can.

Regards

You can define a deep structure as a "type ref to" or as a method data element "importing wi type ty_wi" where ty_wi is your custom type, or "Data wi_tab like line of table_tab" where table_tab is a table type.
