Syntax for table

Hi All,

One simple question maybe.

In my selection screen i am getting input as one of the standard table say 'SE11'.

Now in my code i want to make a standard table or internal type/like the input given table name, in this case "SE11".

Is this possible? If yes can you give a hint on the code.

Regds,

Yes it is you need to use réferences and field symbols.

Here is a sample code that select all data of a given table and print it.

PARAMETERS: p_tab TYPE tabname16.

DATA: ls_tab TYPE REF TO data.
  FIELD-SYMBOLS: <ft> TYPE ANY TABLE,
                 <fs> TYPE ANY.

  TRY.
" Create the internal table 
      CREATE DATA ls_tab TYPE TABLE OF (p_tab).
" To access the reference data you need to assign it to a field symbol
      ASSIGN ls_tab->* TO <ft>.                                
      IF sy-subrc NE 0.
        MESSAGE 'Error' TYPE 'E'.
      ENDIF.
" 
      SELECT * FROM (p_tab) INTO TABLE <ft>.

      LOOP AT <ft> ASSIGNING <fs>.
        WRITE : / <fs>.
      ENDLOOP.
    CATCH cx_root.
      MESSAGE 'Error' TYPE 'E'.
  ENDTRY.

Hope it helps

Regards
