Hi

You can access all the fields of the table zrmmast using the structure it_mast

ie you can say it_mast-status or any field followed by it_mast-...

thanx but i tried that and it gave me this error "IT_MAST is a table without a header line and therefore has no component called status". any other idea

HI,

Your IT_MAST is not a strucutre dude..

its an internal table thats why you cannot refer its fields like that,

what you can do is in you second DATA statement use as follows

DATA: IT_MAST like line of t_mast.

Hi,

define work area

wa_mast type t_mast.

you need to loop at it_mast into wa_mast and then refer

select ...... where status = wa_mast-status..

thanks but its now giving me this error: it "wa_mast cannot be converted to the line type of it_mast"

Hi,

If you want to create a work area create it as I have told

<b>DATA: wa_area like line of t_mast.

OR event better

DATA: wa_area type zrmmast.</b>

t_mast is an internal table and for creating a work area you have to use its line type.
