Update question

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have the following code: I would like to update the table t_yeban with the value in z_menge. I am getting an error at the statement

update t_yeban. I know this is not the right statement. Please help.

Code:

FUNCTION Z_XYZ.
*"----------------------------------------------------------------------
*"*"Local Interface:
*"  TABLES
*"      T_XEBAN STRUCTURE  EBAN OPTIONAL
*"      T_XEBKN STRUCTURE  EBKN OPTIONAL
*"      T_YEBAN STRUCTURE  EBAN OPTIONAL
*"      T_YEBKN STRUCTURE  EBKN OPTIONAL
*"----------------------------------------------------------------------



data: z_menge LIKE EBAN-MENGE.

if lines( t_xeban[] ) gt 0.


 z_menge = t_yeban-menge.
 z_menge = z_menge * -1.
 t_yeban-menge = z_menge.
 update t_yeban.



endif.




ENDFUNCTION.

Thanks.

Try keyword MODIFY instead of UPDATE. If t_yeban is a table without a header line you will need to specify a header line with the modify statement, eg: modify t_yeban from s_yeban.

Hye..

There is no update on internal tables.

Use either append or modify.

append wa to itab. " inserts row in the internal table at the end.

modify itab from wa. " inserts the row in current loop index.

Thanks,

Thanks a lot Roger and Imran. Modify statement within LOOP...ENDLOOP worked.

I have assigned points and closing the thread.

Thanks again.
