Dynamic DATA declaration

Former Member — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 11:27:55 GMT

Hi All,

How do i declare a variable in ABAP so that the type is dynamic?

I've seen dynamic parameters, internal tables and select-options.

But, I need to declare a variable and declare the type dynamic, Something like below:

DATA gv_field LIKE (gv_dynamic_type).

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Check out this code:

PARAMETERS: P_TABLE LIKE DD03L-TABNAME.

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <FS_TABLE> TYPE TABLE,

<WA_TABLE> TYPE ANY.

DATA: XTABLE TYPE REF TO DATA." It tells compiler that the data object type will be defined at runtime

CREATE DATA XTABLE TYPE TABLE OF (P_TABLE)." It creates data XTABLE at runtime

ASSIGN XTABLE->* TO <FS_TABLE>." before using this field symbol in LOOP, its must be assigned

SELECT * FROM (P_TABLE) INTO TABLE <FS_TABLE> ORDER BY PRIMARY KEY.

LOOP AT <FS_TABLE> ASSIGNING <WA_TABLE>.

ENDLOOP.

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_field> type any.

data g_field type ref to data.

data g_name type string.

g_name = 'BUT021_FS-ADDRNUMBER'."could be any name

create data g_field type (g_name).

ASSIGN g_field->* TO <FS_FIELD>."is now of type BUT021_FS-ADDRNUMBER
