Creating a table at runtime from a parameter(Work area)

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

In a global class method i have a parameter cs_data type ref to data. At the run time I am getting some value in this work area.

Now my requirement is to call another method which will receive this cs_data in one internal table.

So how to make that internal table from cs_data?

Thanks and Regards,

Hi,

Try this:

DATA lt_data LIKE TABLE OF cs_data.
APPEND cs_data TO lt_data.
method_that_need_table( it_table = lt_data ).     " call your method here

Hi Adam,

I am getting below error while doing so.

The field "CS_DATA" specified under LIKE either has no type or a generic type.

In parameter list cs_data has been declared as CS_DATA Changing Type DATA.

Hi Ajeet,

Ok I thought you are just saying about data example. In case of generic data type, solution is more complicated. Try this:

FIELD-symbols <fs_table> type standard table.
DATA l_ref TYPE REF TO data.
CREATE DATA l_ref like table of cs_data.
ASSIGN l_ref->* to <fs_table>.
APPEND cs_data TO <fs_table>.

Then your <fs_table> is a table that contains single row.

Hope it helps.
