Syntax error: generic typing?

[former_member185943]

Hello!

I'm on WAS 620, ABAP patch 41.

I tried to create a deep table type as follows:

TYPES: BEGIN OF s_fname_pair,
           fname_itab TYPE fieldname,
           fname_ddic TYPE fieldname,
         END OF s_fname_pair,
         ty_t_fname_mapping
                TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF s_fname_pair,
         ty_tt_fname_mappings
                TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ty_t_fname_mapping.

However, I get a syntax error saying that "TY_T_FNAME_MAPPING" is a generic type.

Why is it generic? It seems to me that it's a fully typed table. When I declare the same types as dictionary types, everything works fine.

What is wrong here?

Thanks!

if u need to define an internal table, u need to do it using the DATA statement and not TYPES statement.

TYPES: BEGIN OF s_fname_pair,

fname_itab TYPE fieldname,

fname_ddic TYPE fieldname,

END OF s_fname_pair.

TYPES : BEGIN OF ty_t_fname_mapping,

d1 TYPE s_fname_pair,

END OF ty_t_fname_mapping.

DATA :

ty_tt_fname_mappings

TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ty_t_fname_mapping.

Hi Igor,

Your code will work but you need to add 'WITH DEFAULT KEY'.

TYPES: BEGIN OF s_fname_pair,

fname_itab TYPE fieldname,

fname_ddic TYPE fieldname,

END OF s_fname_pair,

ty_t_fname_mapping

TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF s_fname_pair WITH DEFAULT KEY,

ty_tt_fname_mappings

TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ty_t_fname_mapping.

After this you have to use the DATA statement to define the internal table.

Cheers

It works - thanks, Vinod!

Kind regards,

P.S. You'll get your points as soon as those option buttons decide to show at my screen.
