convert old internal table to new internal table

[adalbert_biadatz2]

Hi,

can anybody tell me, how to convert an old internal table with header into a new internal table without header. My first idea was to copy all records, but it might be memory expensive.

I worte a method that has a changing parameter:

CHANGING

data_tab TYPE STANDARD TABLE

...

CALL METHOD lcl_downloader=>download

EXPORTING

filename = datei

filetype = 'DAT'

CHANGING

data_tab = aus_tab.

When I am calling the method, I get this error:

AUS_TAB is not type-compatible with formal parameter DATA_TAB.

The DATA_TAB was created in a peace of old ABAP code.

DATA: BEGIN OF aus_tab OCCURS 100, ...

Please let me know, if there is a possibility to cast the tables.

Best regards!

Simply specify the body of the internal table by using [], Should work.

CALL METHOD lcl_downloader=>download
EXPORTING
filename = datei
filetype = 'DAT'
CHANGING
data_tab = aus_tab[].
