Create Data type table in 46B

IanStubbings — Wed, 03 Aug 2005 11:06:16 GMT

Quick one, can I dynamically create tables in 46B using the 'create data dref type table of ty_table' in 46B. It seems not but I just wanted to check. Otherwise I will resort to using the construct below:

CALL METHOD cl_alv_table_create=>create_dynamic_table

EXPORTING it_fieldcatalog = gt_fieldcat

IMPORTING ep_table = gp_table.

From what I can see the RTTS has not been fully implemented yet.

Cheers

Ian

Thanks Svetlin but I can already create my table like this. What I wanted was a 'cleaner' version so that I can have for example:

if p_plant = 'X'.

create data dref type table of ty_plant.

elseif p_workcentre = 'X'.

create data dref type table of ty_workcentre.

endif.

assign dref->* to <gt_output>.

However I get a syntax error when I use the above or even when I create a table such such as;

begin of ty_gbp,

plant TYPE qals-werk,

insp_end TYPE qals-paendterm,

workcentre TYPE QAQEE-PRPLATZ,

lwr TYPE qals-zz_lwr,

insp_lot TYPE qals-prueflos,

end of ty_gbp,

ty_gbp_table type table of ty_gbp.

create data dref type ty_gbp_table.

It says the type specification of ty_gbp_table is incomplete.

Hi´Ian,

it's not possible with rel. 4.6 (B / C)

-> 6.1 / 6.2

Hi Ian,

I think that using this sample code you can create a dynamic table even in 46B.

DATA: dref TYPE REF TO DATA.

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs> TYPE ANY.

data: booking TYPE sbook occurs 0.

CREATE DATA dref like booking[].

ASSIGN dref->* TO <fs>.

Regards,

Svetlin

Hi Ian,

You seem to be quite fast in post closing
