Return/pass dynamic table in a method

Former Member — Mon, 04 May 2009 07:28:17 GMT

How can I retrieve a dynamic table (empty though) from a method if the structure of the dynamic table depends on the import parameters?

E.g.:

CALL METHOD zcl_aansl_util=>create_itab_connection
  EXPORTING
    i_name = 'FRUIT' " e.g. FRUIT or VEGETABLES and so on.
  IMPORTING
    e_dyn  = lt_dyn_table. " dynamically built table which differs for each call

So, in case of 'FRUIT' I want a certain dynamic table structure which would be different when I pass 'VEGETABLES'. The method already creates the dynamic table without any problems, the only challenge lies in PASSING the dynamic table. The dyn table should be/is empty.

If I would be able to predict how the dynamic table would look like, there would be no problem. The point is, that the structure differs for each call. I browse at SDN and I didn't found any solution, I did find posts about how to create a dyn table and so on... but that is not the problem. One suggestion I was thinking of, is to pass a string (with table information).

Problem solved.

I left out 1 line of code within my method (the assigning part).

So:

CALL METHOD zcl_aansl_util=>create_itab_connection
    EXPORTING
      i_name      = 'FRUIT' " Just as an example
    IMPORTING
      et_newtable = lt_newtable. " .... = TYPE REF TO data.
  ASSIGN lt_newtable->* TO <fs_collection>. "This part I put outside the method...
