creating dynamic sorted internal table.

[Former Member]

<l_table1> is defined as an sorted table and new_table from method create_dynamic_table is coming as standard table.

when we write a statement "ASSIGN new_table1->* TO <l_table1>." Its giving runtime error type conflict.

Could you please let me know how to create sorted internal table by using method create_dynamic_table.

• Create a new Table

CALL METHOD cl_alv_table_create=>create_dynamic_table

EXPORTING

it_fieldcatalog = it_fieldcat1

IMPORTING

ep_table = new_table1.

• Create a new Line with the same structure of the table.

ASSIGN new_table1->* TO <l_table1>.

Hello Veerendranath Pichikala,

you have to use method CREATE of class CL_ABAP_TABLEDESCR. Here you can define the type of the table via parameter P_TABLE_KIND (e.g.TABLEKIND_SORTED for sorted table).

As an example you can have a look at the following snippet from the article Advanced and Generic Programming in ABAP by Björn Mielenhausen and Gerd Kluger.

DATA: lineType  TYPE REF TO cl_abap_structdescr,
      tableType TYPE REF TO cl_abap_tabledescr,
      key       TYPE abap_keydescr_tab.
      
lineType ?= cl_abap_typedescr=>describe_by_name( 'SPFLI' ).

APPEND 'CARRID' TO key. 
APPEND 'CONNID' TO key.

tableType = cl_abap_tabledescr=>create(
              p_line_type  = lineType
              p_table_kind = cl_abap_tabledescr=>tablekind_sorted
              p_unique     = abap_true
              p_key        = key ).

Check the following (It's working and in 4.6 Version). The code is part of a Rich Heilman's Blog.

field-symbols: <dyn_table> type standard table,

<dyn_wa>,

<dyn_field>.

data: dy_table type ref to data,

dy_line type ref to data.

• Create dynamic internal table and assign to FS

call method cl_alv_table_create=>create_dynamic_table

exporting

it_fieldcatalog = (fieldcatalog)

importing

ep_table = dy_table.

assign dy_table->* to <dyn_table>.

• Create dynamic work area and assign to FS

create data dy_line like line of <dyn_table>.

assign dy_line->* to <dyn_wa>.

With regards
