[SMARTFORMS] Table interface is not seen in generated function module

Question

(I am using SAP ECC 6.0)
I have created a test smartform which prints the contents of the sflight table.
In the Tables tab of the Form Interface page, I have defined a table i_data of type FLIGHTTAB. In the Global Data tab of the Global Definitions page, I have defined a row variable wa_data (Type Assignment: LIKE;  Associated Type: LINE OF i_data). The form activates but when I test it, I encounter a SYNTAX_ERROR.
Here is a fragment of the message:
The following syntax error occurred in program "/1BCDWB/SAPLSF00000007 " in
include "/1BCDWB/LSF00000007TOP " in
line 68:
"Field "I_DATA" is unknown. It is neither in one of the specified table"
"s nor defined by a "DATA" statement. ."
Here is a fragment of the error location (see the TABLES part of the CALL FUNCTION):
   82 IF DESTI IS INITIAL.
   83 IF DEBUG = '1'. BREAK-POINT AT NEXT APPLICATION STATEMENT.
   84 ENDIF.
   85 DEBUG = SPACE.
   86 GET RUN TIME FIELD TIME1.
@@@ CALL FUNCTION '/1BCDWB/SF00000007'
   88 EXPORTING
   89 ARCHIVE_INDEX = %_IARCHIVE_INDEX
   90 ARCHIVE_INDEX_TAB = %_IARCHIVE_INDEX_TAB
   91 ARCHIVE_PARAMETERS = %_IARCHIVE_PARAMETERS
   92 CONTROL_PARAMETERS = %_ICONTROL_PARAMETERS
   93 MAIL_APPL_OBJ = %_IMAIL_APPL_OBJ
   94 MAIL_RECIPIENT = %_IMAIL_RECIPIENT
   95 MAIL_SENDER = %_IMAIL_SENDER
   96 OUTPUT_OPTIONS = %_IOUTPUT_OPTIONS
   97 USER_SETTINGS = %_IUSER_SETTINGS
   98 IMPORTING
   99 DOCUMENT_OUTPUT_INFO = %_ODOCUMENT_OUTPUT_INFO
  100 JOB_OUTPUT_INFO = %_OJOB_OUTPUT_INFO
  101 JOB_OUTPUT_OPTIONS = %_OJOB_OUTPUT_OPTIONS
  102 TABLES
  103 I_DATA = %_OI_DATA
  104 EXCEPTIONS
  105 FORMATTING_ERROR = 001
  106 INTERNAL_ERROR = 002
Does this mean I cannot use the TABLES part of the interface?
In addition, can you tell me more about the visibility of data between the Form Interface and Global Definitions? Are the data in the Form Interface globally visible inside the smartform? In the Form Interface, can I use a type defined in the TYPES tab of the Global Definitions page?

HI,
Form Interface what ever the Import or Export or Table Parameters u pass It should be defined in ur Driver Program with same Type.
  Say I_DATA TYPE MARA      In Form Interface
  In Driver Program T_DATA TYPE TABLE OF  MARA.
The Global Definition Fields are used within the Smartform .
Form Interface is where U interface ur Smartform and ur Driver Program.
Suppose U have defined ur own Internal Table in Driver Program, then u need to define ur own Types in the Types tab in the Global Definitions.
Whatever the parameters that u pass to the Form Interface those are to be passed while calling the FM SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME.
