If a class method exporting a value with the generic type 'data'.

Former Member — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 10:02:56 GMT

Then how can I get the information?

For exmple.

cl_my_clss->get_value( exporting ev_data = .... ) .

ev_data is a type of data.

I can not use DATA : lv_mine type data. because generic data should be used in formal parameter, however , if I use a field symbol, how to assign value with out knowing the data type?

Best regards,

Hi Kunjal,

I just want to know, for example there is a method called set_attribute:

set_attribute( importing type data )

in my program where invoke the set_attribute

I also don't know the data type of my code. Because they are get from a table.

which type I should use ? I can not use

DATA : lv_data type data.

Because it can only be used as a formal parameter.

Best regards,

Hi Black,

In the data declaration Declare a data object with type ANY and then use this data object as the Type of importing Parameter.

like.

field-symbols <v_data> type ANY.
method get_value importing lv_data like <v_data>.

Hi Blake,

As per my understanding,

You are getting the data type from the database table....

You want to use the same data type....

Lets say for example:

You have a db table x with field y having data type Z.

What you do is that, while declaring the data type for the attribute in the method use the reference as table_name-field_name(x-y).

Or....

use ANY. This will give you a chance to map any field type to this method....

Note: Using ANY will limit the syntax that you can use within the method......
