Reg:table declaration in a top include

Hi gurus,
I have declared few tables in the top include of a function module,but while activating the FM it's throwing error that "the table has already been declared".Where as I have not declared those tables anywhere else.
Please give me a solution regarding this.
Thanks in advance.

hi,
it might be dat u have declared the required tables in ur Function module and also declared in Top Include. check this. when ever you declared all required elements in ur Top include then try to avoid them declaring in ur FM.
if helpful reward some points.
with regards,
Suresh Aluri.

Problem with variable declared in TOP Include

Hi,
I have declared a variable P_TEXT in TOP include ZPGM_TOP. In main program ZPGM, I have declared this TOP include ZPGM_TOP and another include ZPGM_F01.
I am accessing P_TEXT in include ZPGM_F01, but it is giving me following error when I do syntex check.
Error : Field P_TEXT is unknown. It is neither in one of the specified tables nor defned by DATA statement.
But when I double click on P_TEXT in ZPGM_F01, it takes me to TOP include declaration.
Please advise what I am doing wrong.
Thanks.

Check the sequence in which your includes are declared e.g.
include zpgm_top. "data
include zpgm_f01. "code
would work, but:
include zpgm_f01. "code
include zpgm_top. "data
will give syntax error in "zpgm_f01".

Hi Claudia,
Welcome to SDN Forum. Don't forget to read the [rules of engagement|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/home/rulesofEngagement].
Take a look at Report "EXAMPLE_PNP_GET_PAYROLL" it demonstrate how to use Logical database and GET events.
Logical database      PNP                   HR Master Data
Selection screen      900                   Selection screen on payroll results
* These three tables need to be declared for the selection screen-.
* Currently, the declarations of pyorgscreen, pytimescreen HAS to
* be done in addition to setting selection screen = 900 .
TABLES: pernr.
* Declare the country specific structure:
* payXX_result with XX = country code, e.g. payDE_result for Germany
* Country = 99 is an exception: If this structure is used, the
* international part of every payroll result is returned regardless
* of country code. In the other case, pernr's whose country code do
* not fit the structure are skipped.
NODES: payroll TYPE pay99_result.
DATA: wa_wpbp LIKE LINE OF payroll-inter-wpbp.
GET pernr.
WRITE: / 'Currently working on:'(021), pernr-pernr.
GET payroll.
LOOP AT payroll-inter-wpbp INTO wa_wpbp.
    WRITE:   / 'Personal Area ='(018), wa_wpbp-werks,

Top include in Function module

Hi All,
I have written a select statment in a FM.I want to retain the values selected so that it is available even when the FM is executed next time.Is it possibe to retain values selected by declaring the internal table in the TOP include?
Thanks,
Rakesh.

hi Rakesh,
if you declare the internal table in the TOP include, that only means it will be avaliable for each FM in the function group. The internal table will be avaliable, not the data (which is filled with the SELECT statement)!
The question is when do you execute the FM next time? It it's only a while, you can export the data into the memory, import by the next FM call and you don't need to select again. but it only works if it is still the same user, same session. can you enlight the scenario?
thanks

Type pools VS Top Include.

Hi all,
Is there any difference between a top include and Type pools.
As both are used for data declaration purpose, i would like to know any differences between these two.
Please kindly clarify me on this.
Thanks in advance.

It might come as a surprise to some, but this is all information that can be easily derived from the online SAP documentation. Here we go...
A type group (which can be defined via the [TYPE-POOL|http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_70/en/ABAPTYPE-POOL.htm] statement) is more or less a historical artifact, which allowed you since release 3.0 to define any type globally in the data dictionary (and at that time the data dictionary was limited and didn't allow for example types for internal tables). For further reading I recommend the online help on [data types in the ABAP dictionary|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp2/helpdata/en/fc/eb3138358411d1829f0000e829fbfe/frameset.htm].
Now, a type group is not like any include, because it only allows certain statements (see [TYPE-POOL|http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_70/en/ABAPTYPE-POOL.htm] in the online ABAP help) and is designed as a global object for re-use. E.g. in TOP includes you would also define your global data (e.g. if you have a module pool for a dialog program), whereas in type groups you cannot do that. And obviously a TOP include is not necessarily a global object that should be shared across programs (though of course you can do that).
As Clemens already pointed out, type groups are nowadays considered obsolete, because you have different alternatives (see comments in [data types in the ABAP dictionary|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp2/helpdata/en/fc/eb3138358411d1829f0000e829fbfe/frameset.htm]). Note also that with 7.0 EhP2 the ABAP compiler automatically loads type groups on demand (which also shows you their global nature) and thus making the statement [TYPE-POOLS|http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_70/en/ABAPTYPE-POOLS.htm] obsolete (see the comments there).
Cheers, harald

Top include

hi,
what is the meaning of tp include.
regards,
dhiraj

Hi,
top include is usually meant for global delcarations
for eg you have written a function module
and obviously it will be in afunction group
then by default it will be creating two includes
one of it is top include
in a function group we can have many function modules
and we will use so many variables in that
and some times the same variables may be used in many function modules
in that case we used todeclare them in the top include so that all the function
modules can access it..
<b>so top include is a common space for all the related program to declare the
variables and internals tables or what ever the declarations...</b>
same as for the reports
thanks & regards,
Venkatesh

Error in ABAP Report TABLES declaration

Hi,
I am a Basis administrator and trying to write a small program for archiving.
I get a folowing error when user the following statement in a report -
TABLES: RSDAARCHREQ.
The error is as follows -
"RSDAARCHREQ" must be a flat structure. You cannot use internal tables,
strings, references, or structures as components. -
I can include all the other tables requred but somehow this particular table gives me this error which I have never encountered earlier. This is BI 7.0 and it is standard SAP transparent table.
Please help me.
I will appreciate it.
Regards,
Sume

Hi Sume,
Do not declare RSDAARCHREQ in tables.
If you want a internal table declare in the below mentioned way .
data: it_RSDAARCHREQ TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF RSDAARCHREQ.
select * into table
it_RSDAARCHREQ
from RSDAARCHREQ.

How to create a top include for module pool program

hi all..
I want to add my global declarations in one top inlcude.. There are so many other includes in my pgm. But how can i create top include explicitly. Also I have one normal report pgm attached with this module pool.

hi Cynthia ,
there are two ways of creating a top include at your situation ,
1) Insert an include <Prog name >TOP in your mpool program and cut n paste your declarations there .. check if this works ...
2)else .. create another m pool program in SE80 , while creating a pop up will ask for with TOP include ... check mark that and then proceed ..
anything of these two will work ...
Reward if helpful !!

How to include Standard Top include in custom FM ?

Hi Experts ,
I have copied a standard FM to custom RFC. (and also all declarations in a custom TOP include) .
I have a variable that is declared in the Standard TOP include also .
How I can include that Include in my Custom RFC .
This is because the standard TOP include is geting called at run time and overwriting the variable.

Sunitha

Hi Rahul,
You will not find the "CatalogItemImpl" in the 'businessobject.xml'. The 'businessobject.xml' is there to define session based API of modules. Those API have properties and web channel builder values injected when the user start a web session.
For the "CatalogItem", you will have to use the Generic Factory concept. The Generic Factory is used to allocate instance given a configuration. If no configuration exists, the default implementation is used. By adding an entry in the Generic Factory you can choose to allocate your class instead of the default class.
Within the catalog module, the alias to use for classes extending "CatalogItemImpl" is "com.sap.wec.app.common.module.catalog.businessobject.ext.interf.CatalogItemExtInterf".
Please refer to the extension guide on how to manage the Generic Factory configuration file.

Internal table declaration - work area and body

Hi all
I have declared my internal table in my program as
data : itab_wa type ZRESULT_LINE,
       itab    type ZRESULT_ROW.
Where ZRESULT_LINE and ZRESULT_ROW are the structure and table types.
Now I want to add
data: TCOLOR TYPE SLIS_T_SPECIALCOL_ALV.
in my internal table declaration. How can I do this. Please remember I need to have work area and body in my internal table as I have used work area and body in my code.
Waiting..............

How to use a TOP INCLUDE of my_function_module for/into my_report?

Hello Experts,
I put the below code in my_function_module
PERFORM my_routine
IN PROGRAM my_report_prog
USING xyz.
Now, i want to use the TOP INCLUDE/Data declaration part of my_function_module for/into my_report_prog, because i do not want to declare all again.
Pls. let me know how to use a TOP INCLUDE of a my_function_module for/into my_report?
Thank you

Hi,
I think we can directly use the include using INCLUDE stat.
Go to your function group get the top include name
and use it in your report.
Thanks,

Ranges in top include

helllo all,
In my function mdoule i have a top inculde
where i need to declare ranges but it gives me a error
message when i declareranges
-->statement not accessible
Very strange problem....any clue??

Hi Bhanu,
By saying "In my function mdoule i have a top inculde" do you mean you have added an INCLUDE statement inside the code of the function module? If so, that is not the way.
Instead, every function module is attached to a function group, and the every function group has a top include (which is accessible to all function modules under the function group).
Hence, e.g. say your function group is ZFGRP, then your function module's top include would be program LZFGRPTOP which is added as an INCLUDE in the function group main program.
Please declare your RANGE in the LZFGRPTOP program and everything should be fine.
Regards,
Aditya
