Syntax error in program

[Former Member]

Hi All,

When i check the syntax check for a program i got the below error.

The line structure of the table LIFNR_WORKTAB is incorrect.

The declaration and select statement is like this.

data:   begin of lfa1_tab occurs 200.       
        include structure lfa1.
data:   end   of lfa1_tab.

data:   begin of lifnr_worktab occurs 500,  
         lifnr like lfa1-lifnr,
        end   of lifnr_worktab.      

          select * from lfa1 appending table lfa1_tab
                           where lifnr in lifnr_worktab.

How i can solve this one.

Regards

Jai

Well to be honest, this is not the only thing that fails / will fail.

In this case you are comparing two different things actually. This would be the way

select * from lfa1 appending table lfa1_tab

where lifnr in lifnr_worktab-lifnr.

But now you will face problem that this is not an internal table. But what you need here is a range.

Some well meant advice: Better check ABAP help first.

Just to be complete about this:

Stop using the OCCURS statement. Obviously no one is using ABAP OO yet??

Hi,

data: begin of lfa1_tab occurs 200.

include structure lfa1.
data:   end   of lfa1_tab.
 
data:   begin of lifnr_worktab occurs 500,  
         lifnr like lfa1-lifnr,
        end   of lifnr_worktab.      
 
          select * from lfa1 appending table lfa1_tab
                     for all entries in lifnr_worktab " As per your code this happens to be Internal Table
                           where lifnr = lifnr_worktab-lifnr

.
