Add a new column in a internal table

[former_member1156109]

How can I add a new column to a internal table using APPEND ?

I have already created a table in SE11 and I want to add a new column with the content 'Concluido' at the end of each row of the table.

How can I do that ?

Thank you

Hi maria_ines_almeida:

Question: How can I add a new column to a internal table using APPEND ?
Answer: You can't add a new column to an internal table using APPEND.
If that is not the answer please elaborate on your question a bit further.

You don't add columns with APPEND, you add columns to a table thru SE11 also. Just look up your table with SE11 and add a field with related data types, etc:

Unless you use an APPEND structure.

If it's via SE11, it's not an internal table. That is an abap construct, not a data dictionary construct.

maria_ines_almeida,

As already suggested above can you please explain what is the actual requirement here?

1) You want to add a column to your database table and you want to have a constant value for it?

or

2) You want to add a column to your internal table and you want to have a constant value for it?

Are you displaying any report?

If you mean the following statement

APPEND row TO itab.

then there is no way, of course.

However, if you mean using an append structure with additional fields (like in database tables and dictionary structures) then the answer is that you need to apply the append structure to the line type.

You might need to create a dictionary structure mimicking the structure of the original line type plus the append structure and then declaring a new internal table or table type on the amended copy -- as long as you do not want to change it for everything using the original structure or database table.
