TRY.
CREATE DATA LR_DATAREF TYPE TABLE OF ('LT_TABLE').

ASSIGN LR_DATAREF->* TO <LT_UPDTAB>.

CREATE DATA LR_DATAREF TYPE TABLE OF ('LT_TABLE').

tries to find LT_TABLE as a data type, but there's none (LT_TABLE is a variable).

What you want to do:

CREATE DATA LR_DATAREF LIKE LT_TABLE.

Or better define the internal table type as a type (I've removed the OP's prefixes as they're not in accordance with the SAP style guide or DSUG recommendations:

TYPES: BEGIN OF my_DATA,
COLUMN1 TYPE CHAR50,
COLUMN2 TYPE CHAR50,
COLUMN3 TYPE CHAR50,
COLUMN4 TYPE CHAR50,
COLUMN5 TYPE CHAR50,
end of my_data.
TYPES my_data_set type standard table of my_data with default key.
DATA DATAREF TYPE REF TO DATA,
MY_TABLE TYPE my_data_Set.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <UPDTAB> TYPE STANDARD TABLE.
TRY.
CREATE DATA DATAREF TYPE my_data_set.
ASSIGN DATAREF->* TO <UPDTAB>.
