CE_CONVERSION in ABAP AMDP method

Question

Hi,
I'm trying to get some knowledge about the usage of the AMDP procedures in the business suite on HANA. I've been trying to create a simple example where i convert a currency from one to another using and AMDP procedure and the CE_CONVERSION.
However i gives me an SQL script error and i can't figure out why.
My source code can be found here: abap_source_code - Pastebin.com
I hope someone can give me a hand

Hi Sagar,
Thanks so much for your help, i'm have gotten it to work, however i would like to use this method a bit more strategically.
I have an input table with the values
in_amount
out_amount
source_unit
target_unit
ref_date
i use these in my conversion function, however i can't seem to get the data into the out_amount column.
I have tried different methods such as specifying the input as an output as well. as i found in this documentation
CE_CONVERSION - SAP HANA SQLScript Reference - SAP Library
However it still isn't working, can you see what i am missing?
This is the source code for the method.
    PRICES = select id as id, in_amount as in_amount, out_amount as out_amount, source_unit as source_unit, target_unit as target_unit, ref_date as ref_date from :demo_prices;
    et_amount = select * from :demo_prices;
      lt_uom_std_conv  = CE_CONVERSION(:PRICES, [family = 'currency',
      method = 'ERP',
      client = '900',
      conversion_type = 'M',
      steps              = 'shift,convert,shift_back',
      target_unit_column = target_unit,
      source_unit_column = source_unit,
      reference_date_column = ref_date,
      output = 'input,passed_through' ],
      [in_amount as out_amount]);
        et_amount = select id as id, in_amount as in_amount, out_amount as out_amount, source_unit as source_unit, target_unit as target_unit, ref_Date as ref_date from :lt_uom_std_conv;
