Hi Kiran<BR>
<BR>
Thanks, but what I'm doing is the other way around I think.<BR>
<BR>
I have some SAP code that has already read a table in to <fs>, <fs> is an object ref (lh_int_tab->*<fs> , call function using <fs>.. etc)<BR>
<BR>
What I want to do is take the contents of <fs> and copy them in to a normal internal table (standard table), when I try I get a short dump stating that the conversion is incompatible.<BR>
<BR>
How do I read the contents of the data object reference table in <fs> in to an internal table?<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Kind Regards<BR>
Sunni<BR> <BR>
