Create structure and table for global use

Former Member — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 11:50:37 GMT

Hi,

I want to create a structure and then a table type, which has a line type of the previously created structure.

The thing is that after the table is created, I want to use it as a parameter for a function.

Is that a way to insert these data types by API, so they will be exposed for other programs or functions?

Thanks,

Sivan

Hi,

In my opinion if you create a object in Data Dictionary, then it is global to all programs and functions etc. But i dont understand what exactly you want to know.

Hi,

I want to know how to create these objects using code and not by manual clicking in object navigator.

Thanks,

Hi,

You can create and activate structures, tables and table types using the following APIs:

DDIF_TABL_PUT

DDIF_TABL_ACTIVATE

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the help

One more question regarding this topic. I'm using DDIC_TTYP_PUT\ACTIVATE to create and activate table types.

How can I create a structure, which is a bit different from table. Should I use the FM DDIC_TBL_PUT...?

How can I define that this is a structure and not a table?

Thanks,

Sivan

I can create a structure using RS_DD_STRU_ADD. But Cannot add a description, so I cannot activate it afterwards.

May you help me with:

1) Set the description.

2) Activate the structure.

Thanks,
