hi,,

data it_kna2 like wa_kna2.

wa_kna2 is not defined in types...so u should use like and not type.

Hello Madhumitha,

I feel sorry for you. Spandana hasn't provided you with a single point even you answered his/her question correctly (though there was a little typing mistake: "like table" instead of "like"). Spandana gave all 10 points to ABAPer 007. That's not fair.

Hi

The problem is, if u declare WA_KNA1 in TYPES...the stmt

data it_kna2 type table of wa_kna1 ..will go and check WA_KNA1 in TYPES declaration. In general if u define TYPE TABLE OF in data declaration,, ABAP will go and check in TYPES declaration.....

But if u define LIKE TABLE OF it will go and check in DATA declaration whether refering table exists or not...

Rewards if usefulll !!!!

Hi,

1. wa_it has the structure as ztab has,

2. wa_it has the structure of mara and

3. wa_it has the structure of wa_kna1, i.e. it consists of the fields cno, country and name.

None of the three data declarations is an internal table!

Have success,

Hi Spandana,

Statement 1 shows you the body in case when your ztab is declares as TYPE TABLE.

Hope it helps,
