ABAP 7.5 create inline table/structure with dynamic type

Hi all,

I'm scratching my head trying to achieve a little goal into inline declaration.

Using standard FMs I receive some tables into REF TO data variables, dynamically determined.

Using the following code, i can fill my internal table COND

TYPES: tty_conds TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF /vgm/ips1ybagce WITH DEFAULT KEY.
ASSIGN bckt_cond->* TO FIELD-SYMBOL(<tab>).
DATA(cond) = VALUE tty_conds( ).
cond = CORRESPONDING #( <tab> ).

My issue is: COND can have different structure than /VGM/IPS1YBAGCE, given by customizing settings.

I tried with

DATA: simo_tabname TYPE tablename_umg VALUE '/VGM/T_IPS1YBAGCE_DB'. "it's the table type for my prev structure
ASSIGN bckt_cond->* TO FIELD-SYMBOL(<tab>).
DATA(cond) = VALUE simo_tabname( ).
cond = CORRESPONDING #( <tab> ).

But, of course, SIMO_TABNAME doesn't exist.

So i tried with the ( )

DATA: simo_tabname TYPE tablename_umg VALUE '/VGM/T_IPS1YBAGCE_DB'. "it's the table type for my prev structure
ASSIGN bckt_cond->* TO FIELD-SYMBOL(<tab>).
DATA(cond) = VALUE (simo_tabname)( ).
cond = CORRESPONDING #( <tab> ).

But i got error anyway.

There is chance to achieve it?
Thanks!

Simone

EDIT

Yes, i can use

DATA cond type ref to data.

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <tab_new> type standard table

.CREATE DATA cond ('/VGM/T_IPS1YBAGCE_DB').

ASSIGN cond->* to <tab_new>.

but it wouldn't be inline 🙂

Constructor operators require static types so you'll have to stick to the old construct

CREATE DATA dref TYPE (dynamictype).

sandra.rossi i feared it, but since i'm still struggling here and there with the new syntax, i hope i was missing something i wasn't able to find in the help.
Would you mind to convert the comment to Answer? So i close the question 🙂
