Update structure does not contain any elements error

Question

Dear Friends in am a newbie in WDA. My Function Module  has the following decalarations.
TABLES
*"      U_P9006 STRUCTURE  P9006
*"      IT_P9006 STRUCTURE  P9006
IT_P9006 is used to fill all the values in the Table, if the user wants to create a new entry in the table then he will click on the new button and U_9006 will be used to hold the new value and save in the database.
when i binded U_9006-EmployeeNumber to a Input box to accept values and tested the application dumps giving the error
"Adapter error in INPUT_FIELD "TC_1_EMPLOYEE_CODE" of view "ZHOLIDAY.MAINVIEW": Context binding of property STATE cannot be resolved: Node COMPONENTCONTROLLER.1.ZESS_EDU.1.CHANGING_1.1.U_P9006 does not contain any elements "
i have 3 basic questions please help me.
1. Currently the cardinality of the Node U_9006 is 0..n and Selection 0..1 , i reffered few sdn threads where it says change the cardinality to 0..n and issue will resolve , my issue is cardinality is already 0...n and even if i try to change it at the context tab it is not changing.
2. if map the INPUT BOX a String attribute ctx_employee rather than mapping it to the U_P9006-EmployeeNumber the page does not dumps , but how do i assign this ctx_employee value to the u_9006-employeenumber in the coding?
3. any sample of SAVE code so that on those lines i write SAVE coding and try to update the record.
Regards,
Jack

Jack,
Bind_table , bind_element methods are used to insert records into NODE, not into database table.
As you said you want to insert records into custom infotype, you need to use function modules to create .
For infotype tables we use below function module to insert records
HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION
  DATA return1 TYPE bapireturn1.
DATA: wa_9006 TYPE p9006.
NOW PASS ALL THE VALUES OF WA_9006.
WA_9006-PERNR = LV_EMPID.
    wa_9006-begda = " provide start date'
    wa_9006-endda = ' provide end date
    wa_9006-aedtm = sy-datum.
    wa_9006-uname = sy-uname. ///LY PASS ALL THE VALUES OF P9006 TABLE( CHECK SE11 FOR FIELDS )
THEN CALL BELOW FUNCTION MODULE.
CALL FUNCTION 'HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION'
               EXPORTING
                        infty                  = '9006'
                         number                 = wa_9006-pernr
*                         subtype                = wa_9006-subty
*               OBJECTID               =
*               LOCKINDICATOR          =
                        validityend            = wa_9006-endda
                        validitybegin          = wa_9006-begda
*               RECORDNUMBER           =
                        record                 = wa_9006
                        operation              = 'INS'
*                TCLAS                  = 'A'
*                DIALOG_MODE            = '0'
*                NOCOMMIT               =
*                 VIEW_IDENTIFIER        =
*                 SECONDARY_RECORD       =
              IMPORTING
                      return                 = return1
*              KEY                    =
Hope this will be useful
