How to retreive data from view

Question

hi,
i have created a view with 8 fields. including reference unit for netwr field.
REPORT  ZVIEWTEST.
data: begin of itab occurs 0,
      kunnr type kunnr,
      name1 type name1,
      ort01 type ort01,
      land1 type land1,
      vbeln type vbeln,
      erdat type erdat,
      netwr type netwr,
      end of itab.
      select * from zview001 into table itab.
      loop at itab.
      write: / itab-kunnr,
               itab-name1.
  endloop.  
when i am executing this program i am getting syntax error.
"the type of the database table and work area(or internal table)"itab" are not unicode convertible."
what does it mean?

Answer 1

Hi Prashanth,
Declare the internal table with the type of View.
Data : itab type table of zview001.
or write select query as
select * from zview001 into corresponding fields of itab.
Also you can uncheck the Unicode checks active (checkbox) in the program attributes.
{When you check that unicode checkbox, you should use an internal table without a header line. Instead you should declare a work area)
Hope it helps...
