Syntax Error with Table Parameter (type: ANY) when Creating Function Module

[Former Member]

Hello experts,

I want to create a function module with a table parameter and table type is ANY. But when I check (Ctrl+F7) this function module, syntax error occurs - "In this statement, the internal table "MSG_TABLE_ITEM" must have the type "STANDARD TABLE"."

Could anyone tell me what the wrong is? And how can I fix it?

Thanks,

Hi,

It should be TYPE STANDARD TABLE

Hi,

For table parameters, you can only pass

MSG_TABLE_ITM   TYPE STANDARD TABLE

or

MSG_TABLE_ITM  ( don't fill other columns TYPING ASSOCIATED TYPE  ).

For reference check FM 'GUI_UPLOAD' - Table parameters

Hi Shelwin,

your error message clearly indicates the error, so you have to use only standard table type in the associated type of   MSG_TABLE_ITEM.

Hi all,

Thank you for your replies! And all of your opinions are correct in my case. Thanks again!

your first consideration should be not using the TABLES statement, as it is obsolete. Why not using CHANGING instead?

Hi Jozef,

I'm new to ABAP programming, and could we use CHANGING to transfer internal table parameters between function module and the program which calls this FM?

You can. Whatever you send via TABLES can be sent via changing.
