I have output data from a list in ABAP memory, is there a way to read data into an internal table?

Use the import statement, if you have already expoted it using an export statement.

examples,

TYPES: BEGIN OF TAB3_TYPE,

CONT(4),

END OF TAB3_TYPE.

DATA: INDXKEY LIKE INDX-SRTFD,

F1(4), F2 TYPE P,

TAB3 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF TAB3_TYPE WITH

NON-UNIQUE DEFAULT KEY,

WA_INDX TYPE INDX.

INDXKEY = 'INDXKEY'.

IMPORT F1 = F1

F2 = F2

TAB3 = TAB3 FROM DATABASE INDX(ST) ID INDXKEY

TO WA_INDX.

**************************************************************

Example 2

TYPES: BEGIN OF TAB3_LINE,

CONT(4),

END OF TAB3_LINE,

BEGIN OF DIRTAB_LINE.

INCLUDE STRUCTURE CDIR.

TYPES END OF DIRTAB_LINE.

DATA: INDXKEY LIKE INDX-SRTFD,

F1(4),

F2(8) TYPE P decimals 0,

TAB3 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF TAB3_LINE,

DIRTAB TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF DIRTAB_LINE,

INDX_WA TYPE INDX.

INDXKEY = 'INDXKEY'.

EXPORT F1 = F1

F2 = F2

TAB3 = TAB3

TO DATABASE INDX(ST) ID INDXKEY " TAB3 has 17 entries

FROM INDX_WA.

...

IMPORT DIRECTORY INTO DIRTAB FROM DATABASE INDX(ST) ID INDXKEY

TO INDX_WA.

That's it!!! 😃

- IMPORT obj1 ... objn FROM MEMORY.

- IMPORT obj1 ... objn FROM DATABASE dbtab(ar) ID key.

- IMPORT obj1 ... objn FROM LOGFILE ID key.

- IMPORT DIRECTORY INTO itab FROM DATABASE dbtab(ar) ID key.

- IMPORT obj1 ... objn FROM DATASET dsn(ar) ID key.

- IMPORT obj1 ... objn FROM SHARED BUFFER dbtab(ar) ID key.

the internal table <b>list_asc</b> containes the o/p of specified report.

i have used that content of internal table to download in c:\abc.txt file.

you can do whatever you wish, with the content of list_asc as per your requirements.

just run it once, enter the report name in caps in selection screen.

<u>plz reward points if it helps you.</u>

REPORT zanid_test4 MESSAGE-ID zz.

parameter: reportnm LIKE sy-repid .

DATA : list LIKE TABLE OF abaplist WITH HEADER LINE.

DATA : BEGIN OF list_asc OCCURS 0,

msg(300) TYPE c,

END OF list_asc.

DATA : wa_c_filename(30) TYPE c.

SUBMIT (reportnm) EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY

after using LIST_FROM_MEMORY you need to use FM

call function 'LIST_TO_ASCI'

exporting

list_index = -1

tables

listasci = int_ascitab

listobject = int_abaplist

exceptions

empty_list = 1

list_index_invalid = 2

others = 3.

yes, but this is giving the output in a line, not as records in the table.I want to pass this as an input to resue_alv_list_display fm to display the output in alv.it is possible?

Re: Reading from memory

Former Member — Tue, 22 Nov 2005 11:40:15 GMT

yes its very much possible..

you just have to loop at list_asc, and feed the value to a corresponding internal table that you will be using for alv(say its itab).

something like..

loop at list_asc.

itab-matnr = list_asc-msg(20).

itab-matkx = list_asc-msg+20(10).

*--so on by strng offsert you hav to take it in itab

append itab.

endloop.

now use itab in your alv.

cheers.
