hi you are using Data base table commands instead of internal table commands...
try these types:
DATA scarr_tab TYPE SORTED TABLE OF scarr
               WITH UNIQUE KEY carrid.
DATA scarr_wa TYPE scarr.
SELECT *
       FROM scarr
       INTO TABLE scarr_tab.
READ TABLE scarr_tab INTO scarr_wa
     WITH TABLE KEY carrid = p_carrid.
scarr_wa-currcode = 'EUR'.
MODIFY TABLE scarr_tab FROM scarr_wa
       TRANSPORTING currcode.
SELECT *
       FROM scarr
       INTO TABLE scarr_tab.
READ TABLE scarr_tab
     WITH TABLE KEY carrid   = p_carrid
     TRANSPORTING NO FIELDS.
idx = sy-tabix.
scarr_wa-currcode = 'EUR'.
MODIFY scarr_tab INDEX idx FROM scarr_wa
       TRANSPORTING currcode.
