Passing values to an internal table and use it with the table painter

Question

Hi,
I have seen this topic here before but the answers didn't help me. Maybe I,m doing something wrong.
The problem is that I defined the following structure on the |Types| tab of the |Global Definitions| section:
TYPES: BEGIN OF DETAILS,
       EBELP  TYPE EKPO-EBELP,
       BSMNG  TYPE EBAN-BSMNG,
       LFDAT  TYPE RM06P-LFDAT,
END OF DETAILS.
Then defined the following definition on the |Global Data| section:
WA_DETAILS TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF DETAILS WITH HEADER LINE
The problem is that when I try to assign a value to one of the fields in the program code like this:
LOOP AT WA_EKPO.
     WA_DETAILS-EBELP = WA_EKPO-EBELP.
     WA_DETAILS-EMATN = WA_EKPO-EMATN.
     MODIFY WA_DETAILS.
ENDLOOP.
gives me the following error:
"WA_DETAILS" is not an internal table -the "OCCURS n" specification is missing.
Then if I add the "OCCURS 10" to the definition of the Global Data the error "OCCURS 10" is not expected.
How can I define, assign values and use as a parameter an internal table defined with types for use it with the table painter?

Hi,
if it is one record in wa_details. you can directly write as follows..
REPORT  ZCR_TEST1                               .
TYPES: BEGIN OF details,
          ebelp TYPE ekpo-ebelp,
          bsmng TYPE eban-bsmng,
          lfdat TYPE rm06p-lfdat,
          ematn TYPE ekpo-ematn,
       END OF details.
DATA: wa_details TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF details WITH HEADER LINE,
      wa_ekpo    TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF details WITH HEADER LINE.
wa_details-ebelp = '1'.
append wa_details.
wa_ekpo-ebelp = '3'.
append wa_ekpo.
LOOP AT wa_ekpo.
  wa_ekpo-ebelp = wa_details-ebelp.
  wa_ekpo-ematn = wa_details-ematn.
  modify wa_ekpo.
endloop.
Normally it wont be one record, so u need to put <b>read statement with key</b> in LOOP and ENDLOOP.
