It may also be useful if you are using an older version of SAP as some of the newer syntax above, such as the @DATA is not available until 4.70 EHP 8.

DATA:

 LIKE LINE OF it_shlp_tab,
ld_callcontrol
 
 TYPE DDSHF4CTRL ,
it_record_tab
 
 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF SEAHLPRES ,
wa_record_tab
 
 LIKE LINE OF it_record_tab.


ld_shlp = 'Check type of data required'. 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_shlp_tab to it_shlp_tab.
