Method call with dynamic types

Former Member — Thu, 13 Nov 2014 10:22:13 GMT

Hi,

I have created a method with 2 parameters:

i_struc type any (import)

ct_table type any table. (changing)

in my method call I have the types for the parameters defined already, so e.g.

data: ls_struc type my_struc,

lt_table type standard table of my_struc.

call method xyz

exporting

i_struct = ls_struc

changing

ct_table = lt_table.

Now in my method I need to refer to the types in the method call, so e.g.

ls_struc-field1 = 'ABC'.

ls_struc-field2 = 'DEF'.

append ls_struc to ct_table.

But of course the ls_struc inside the method has no structure, so I am missing the part where the type from the method call can be used inside the method. The method logic should be generic because I will have different method calls with different types for structure and table. Do I need to use ASSIGN COMPONENT.....?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Tim

Hi Tim,

Since you have not given the (static) structure type in the method declaration, I guess Assign component and dynamic programming is the only option left for you. You can get some help from the following post. Best of luck.

Tim,

check some of the standard methods are function modules from SAP like Function module GUI_DOWNLOAD with DATA_TAB parameter

Thanks
