Giving Error When Selecting From a Custom Table

Question

There is a custom report 'Z*'  which archives data.
In this report, while selecting data(needs to be archived) from a custom table 'Z*_T', giving runtime error in Production Server.
The select statement is written below :
*data izX like z_t occurs 1000 with header line._
*select * from z*t into table i_zX.*_
How can I change the select statement so that it will work properly?

From your example code it appears you are trying to use a wild card for both your dbtable and the internal table.
To do this, you will lilkely need to use a Field Symbol for the target internal table and your FROM will need to be a varible
FROM (dbtabname)
The ABAP Helps gives this example for the Select Table
DATA  TABNAME(10).
DATA: BEGIN OF WA,
        ID   LIKE SCUSTOM-ID,
        NAME LIKE SCUSTOM-NAME,
        REST(134),
      END OF WA.
TABNAME = 'SCUSTOM'.
SELECT * INTO WA FROM (TABNAME).
  WRITE: / WA-ID, WA-NAME.
ENDSELECT.
