internal table in smartform

[Former Member]

I am creating internal table in smartform by defining it in form itnerface->tables as itab like intab and I have declared intab in Global Definitions->types as begin of intab, 4 fields forn one table only. Also passed as input para in program lines but still I am getting dump saying ""INTAB" must be a flat structure. You cannot use internal tables, strings, references, or structures as components. -" I want to fetch data in itab and process it and accordinly apply condition. In smartform only not in print program. Is anybody know how to do?

hi,

If u r not getting data from print program then do not declare that itab under tables tab in form interface. There is a tab called types in fglobal definitions under that declare ur itab with types keyword and define it global data tab.

And write the retrieving logic under initialization tab in global definitions, and after that u can use that through out the smartform.

Thanks sujata but when I did teh same it is sayign ITAB is not defined under TABLES and not an internal table. what to do?

Hi Deva,

1) Create TYPES in Types tab of Global definitions.

for example: -

TYPES: Begin of ty_mara,

matnr type mara-matnr,

mtart type mara-mtart,

End of ty_mara.

2) Go to "Global Data " Tab in Global definitions.

<u>Variable Name Type Assighnment Associated Type</u>

declare table as - IT_MARA TYPE TABLE OF TY_MARA.

Hope This will work.

try to define the itab using command lines in the smartforms...

also the itab that you are defining should be of type structure.. so create a structure of the desired type and then define your itab accordingly...
