abap program to create tables from spread sheet

Former Member — Tue, 19 Mar 2013 17:54:03 GMT

Any one developed a program to create custom tables in a mass like 100 + Z* tables.

We will have table name, field name and semantic attributes of fields in spread sheet file, program should take care creating them automatically based on input file.

Appreciate if any one can help.

Thanks,

Mahesh.

Search for Function Modules in SE37 using ' DDIF_* '. or search from table TFDIR. You will get many function modules which can help to create a dictionary object. Upload the excel and pass the parameters to the function module to create the respective objects. Ex- DDIF_TABL_PUT, DDIF_TABT_ACTIVATE, DDIF_TABT_PUT etc..

Hope this helps.

Thanks Sahoo, for your inputs, I was wondering if we have any method given by sap throw LSMW or any BDC program or utility given by SAP to make it simpler.

I cannot spend more time to do some research with FM and creating program... now..

Thanks,

Mahesh

Hi Mahesh,

I think there is no standard program to accomplish this. You can create a BDC for SE11 for this otherwise. Found this link useful while searching..

Good Luck!

Hi Mahesh,

In addition to what wrote, you can refer function module COM_CFG_DB_CREATE_VTABLE. This may not be doing exactly what you need (looking up an excel and creating tables) but it does create database tables. The logic to create database tables can be found in the subroutine cfgdb_create_ddic_table which is called from the above mentioned FM.

Re: abap program to create tables from spread sheet

Former Member — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 13:10:33 GMT

Thanks Kumar,

I could not able to run the above FM successfully.

getting activation error.

I have entered table name and field names.

But not sure what to use in change parameters for CFG_Tables.

Could you try once and let me know what are all required parameters.

Re: abap program to create tables from spread sheet

RaymondGiuseppi — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 13:22:35 GMT

Did you perform some search at scn, as there are already some (...) threads that suggest FM

DDIF_TABL_PUT and DDIF_TABL_ACTIVATE (*) to create and activate db tables.

Regards,

Raymond

(*) On older threads DB_CREATE_TABLE.

Re: abap program to create tables from spread sheet

kakshat — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 15:12:25 GMT

Do not try to execute that function module. Creating database tables is one of the things it does. I shared the name of the FM (and the relevant subroutine it calls) so that you can have a look at the code and pick the relevant parts. The FM is a part of a bigger and complex process and it may not be so simple to execute it independently (plus, executing it may lead to creation of unwanted objects/data in the system.)

If you look into the subroutine I had mentioned, you would see that it also uses the DDIF* function modules pointed out by Satyabrata.
