Create data ststement problem

[Former Member]

Hello friends,

I am working on 2 systems in 4.7 and 4.6.

I have to create a dynamic internal table based on the table name passed on the selection screen.

I am able to do this in 4.7 with the below statement.

DATA:  i_table_update TYPE REF TO data.

PARAMETERS: p_table TYPE tabname OBLIGATORY.

  CREATE DATA i_table_update TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF (p_table).

the above statement has a syntax error in 4.6

the error is

Unable to interpret "TABLE". Possible causes of error: Incorrect spelling or comma error.

Any suggestions.

That's right, the TYPE TABLE syntax is not available in 46c.

Try this way

  call function 'LVC_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE'
    exporting
      i_structure_name = p_table  " Table Name 
    changing
      ct_fieldcat      = i_fcat
    exceptions
      others           = 1.

  call method cl_alv_table_create=>create_dynamic_table
    exporting
      it_fieldcatalog = i_fcat
    importing
      ep_table        = i_content.
  if sy-subrc = 0.
    assign i_content->* to <ptab>.
  else.
    write: 'Error creating internal table'.
  endif.

Hi,

Refer to this program:

Write a small subroutine, to create a dynamic table.
