TABLES parameter obsolete, how to solve this?

Question

Hi,
I am trying to port a function module from a CRM 4 to a CRM 5 system, and the original module had a TABLES parameter. Unfortunately, the CRM 5 system will not allow me to add a TABLES parameter (they have become obsolete).
The problem remains that I need to export/change a table full of data, and have not yet figured a way to do this, since (at least when I tried it) I can add EXPORT or CHANGING parameters with a type of the table, but they will be added as a structure of that type.
Any idea?
Thanks
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
What kind of a problem are you facing..? I was able to pass an internal table as an exporting parameter to a Functoin Module.
I tried passing some values stored in an internal table used in an FM to a program.
Following steps are to be followed.
1) In SE11, create a table type for a table (I created a table type of KNA1 and its name was ztabtype).
2) In the EXPORT tab of the FM, specify the parameter of type ztabtype.
my_tab  TYPE ztabtype 
3) In the FM, I gave some values to the internal table my_tab.
4) In the main program, I called the function module, whose name was ZSP_FMOD .
CALL FUNCTION 'ZSP_FMOD'
IMPORTING
MY_TAB = ITAB[].
where ITAB declaration was as follows.
data: itab type table of kna1 with header line.
5) I got the values of internal table by using LOOP....ENDLOOP statement.
Hope this answer satisfies your query.
