smartform data transfer without ddic

[Former Member]

Good day,

I want to transfer data from the program to the smartform via a structure that is not in the

DDIC.  I create a structure in the calling program to pass data from VBEP and VBAP through

a function module to the smartform.  In the smartform global section I create a structure in

the types tab that has the same fields.  I then instantiate it in the initialization section.  I have tried

putting an instance of this with a header line and without in the global tables section and form interface

to no avail.  Is there anybody that has done this and how?  I would also like to know where the code is failing

in conjunction with the DDIC table.  I have been stepping through code but have not yet found the place

where the smartform checks to see if the table exists in the DDIC.  Any insight would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Doug

Hi

the local type defined in a smartform can be used to defined global data but not to define parameters of the interface.
