Table type SXMSMGUIDT declaring error

[Former Member]

Hi,

I'm trying to declare an internal table of type SXMSMGUIDT and insert one row into it. However when I try to do so it's giving me an error.

Here is my code:

data: i_message_guid type STANDARD TABLE OF SXMSMGUIDT.
  
i_message_guid-SXMSMGUID = '123'.

The type of "I_MESSAGE_GUID" cannot be converted to the type of "'123'".

I even tried to declare a work area and append the work area to the internal table but no luck. Does anyone know what I have done wrong with the declaration?

Thanks, Warren

How does this type look like?

Hi,

You can declara the work area

data: i_message_guid type STANDARD TABLE OF SXMSMGUIDT.

data: w_message_guid like line of i_message_guid.

then you can add your text to this work area and append it to the internal table.

I think it is helpful for you.

This kind of depends on the type. I recon, that this type consists NOT of a structure, but of one single field only. This means you can not just declare the workarea and name the field.

It is probably something like this:

w_message_guid = '123' and not

w_message_guid-SXMSMGUID = '123'.

I already tried this and got an error:

The type of "W_MESSAGE_GUID" cannot be converted to the type of "'123'".

data: i_message_guid type STANDARD TABLE OF SXMSMGUIDT.

data: w_message_guid like line of i_message_guid.

w_message_guid = '123'.

No that does not work.

Warren,

the type SXMSMGUIDT is already a table type (hence my first question, what is the type, is it a line type or a table type):

 DATA: i_message_guid TYPE sxmsmguidt,
      wa_message_guid TYPE sxmsmguid.

wa_message_guid = '123'.
APPEND wa_message_guid TO i_message_guid.

This will work.
