TABLE into a TYPE

[Former Member]

hi guys,

I would like to create a type including an internal table whithin.

The type declaration might be something like :

BEGIN OF ty_trad,

key TYPE textpool-key,

line TYPE TABLE OF i,

lg TYPE i,

val_fr TYPE string,

val_cs TYPE string,

END OF ty_trad.

This syntax causes a compilation error. I know this is possible in other languages and i would be surprised it is not in ABAP... Is it ?

Thanks a lot !

Hello,

Yes, it's possible to do this in ABAP, too.

Try this:

TY_LINE TYPE TABLE OF I,

BEGIN OF ty_trad,
key TYPE textpool-key,
line TYPE TY_LINE
lg TYPE i,
val_fr TYPE string,
val_cs TYPE string,
END OF ty_trad.

Hi,

the syntax you gave me generate the following compilation error :

"TY_LINE" is a generic type. A type reference is possible only for field symbols and formal parameters . . . . . . . . . ."

You just have to use the full syntax for describing the table:

TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_trad,
  key TYPE textpool-key,
  line TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF i WITH NON-UNIQUE KEY table_line,
  lg TYPE i,
  val_fr TYPE string,
  val_cs TYPE string,
END OF ty_trad.

Hi Yohann,

try this....

DATA:TY_LINE TYPE TABLE OF I.

TYPES:BEGIN OF ty_trad,

key TYPE textpool-key,

line LIKE TY_LINE,

lg TYPE i,

val_fr TYPE string,

val_cs TYPE string,

END OF ty_trad.

Reward if useful.

Thanks & Regards,
