table type in oops

[Former Member]

hi guys

suppose we have a table type created in abap ddic.

say z_t_tabtyp and it has a line type say z_l_lintyp.

in my oops program i have declared say

data: g_itab type z_t_tabtyp.

By doing this I will achieve an internal table without a header line.

The problem: If i want to add a few more fields to this internal table WITHOUT changing the table type z_t_tabtyp which is a global structrure. How can i do that.

I have tried the following:

data: begin of itab.
         include structure z_t_tabtyp
data:  fields like table-field,
         end of itab.

it gives me an error saying z_t_tabtyp must be a flat structure.

Any suggestions??

Thanks a lot for looking.

Hello,

Try this:

data: begin of itab.
         include structure z_t_tabtyp. (instead of the table type use the line type)
data:  fields like table-field,
         end of itab.

The error occurs because z_t_tabtyp is a table type, try using the line type, not the table type. (Just use the line type declared in the table type z_t_tabtyp).

i achieved the desired result by the following code

TYPES: BEGIN OF gt_char_typ.
         INCLUDE TYPE ZU7_S_HBR_SALES_REPORT_CHAR.
TYPES:   vbelv LIKE vbfa-vbelv,
       END OF gt_char_typ.
DATA: gt_char TYPE TABLE OF gt_char_typ.

all other suggestions are welcome.

Thanks again for looking.
