Hi

If you need it as global object, you need to declare a type table and then declare your internal table based on that type.

So in the TYPE section:

TYPES: BEGIN OF TY_LINE,
                 FIELD1 TYPE ......,
                 FIELD2 TYPE ......,
                 FIELD3 TYPE ......,
             END OF TY_LINE.

TYPES: TY_TABLE TYPE TABLE OF TY_LINE.

And then in GLOBAL section u can define the internal table based on the tyoe TY_TABLE

In the global section i have declared it as IT_TABLE TYPE TY_TABLE. But this works as a structure. Is there any other way to define it?

???

IT_TABLE has to be an internal table, but without header line, so u need to define a work are to manage IT_TABLE.

So u need to define IT_LINE type TY_LINE too.

I got it. Thanks.

I was missing following statement.

TYPES: TY_TABLE TYPE TABLE OF TY_LINE.

Hi, you have quite a few areas when you can declare them.

If you want to declare them globally, just declare a custom type in the TYPES area and then declare the variable in the Global Data area (both being in the Global Definitions).

For local internal tables it's just the same as in a normal report.

I have to declare it in global area. i have tried the first option you gave but it acts as a structure and not internal table.
