Convert a structure into a table - Function module

Former Member — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 11:31:23 GMT

Hello everyone,

I heard of a function module which converts a structure into a table.

Afterwards every line of the table represents a field of the converted structure. Does anyone know the name of this function module?

thx

Stephan

Hi Stephen,

Use the Method CL_WD_DYNAMIC_TOOL=>CREATE_TABLE_FROM_NODE

Thanks

Hi,

Not sure if this is the one you are looking for. REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE . This function takes a structure as an input and returns the field catalogue.

Hello again!

No, my problem doesn´t concern field catalogues.

Unfortunately i have also problems making any of the other function modules work.

MS_GET_MASTERDATA_STRUCT_TABLE seems to fit best for my problem, however as i said i cannot make it run as a have problems with the parameters. Do i have to modify the function modules to work with my wanted structure or is it possible without modifying?

Again for explanation:

I have a structure containing: name/city/country/gender

Now i want to convert this structure into a table with the lines:

name

city

country

gender

(I need that convertation to be able to loop over the table and define some selectioncriterias.)

Can you do something like this?

REPORT zz_temp.

TYPES: BEGIN OF  ty_table,
  tabline(60)  TYPE c.
TYPES: END OF  ty_table.

DATA:
  g_s_tstc  TYPE  tstc,
  g_s_tab   TYPE ty_table,
  g_t_tab   TYPE TABLE OF ty_table,
  g_lines   TYPE i.


FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_component> TYPE ANY.


SELECT * FROM tstc
  INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF  g_s_tstc
  WHERE tcode = 'SE38'.
ENDSELECT.


DO.
  ASSIGN COMPONENT sy-index
    OF STRUCTURE g_s_tstc TO <fs_component>.
  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    EXIT.
  ENDIF.
  g_s_tab-tabline = <fs_component>.
  APPEND g_s_tab TO g_t_tab.
  WRITE:/ g_s_tab-tabline.
ENDDO.

DESCRIBE TABLE g_t_tab LINES g_lines.

WRITE g_lines.

You can use the method DESCRIBE_BY_DATA method of the class cl_abap_structdescr. This will return you a reference to the CL_ABAP_TYPEDESCR class and then you can cast this to an object of the cl_abap_structdescr class and then use the attribute components to get the list of compnents.
