Hi,

You can just create

PARAMETER: p_tablen TYPE <b>tabname.</b>

data : it_st like table of <b>tabname.</b> with header line.

I receive a syntax error

"TABNAME" must be a flat structure. You cannot use a structure or

internal table as a component.

PARAMETER: p_tablen TYPE tabname.

data : it_st like table of tabname with header line.

What can be change?

Hi,

I think you are looking for dynamic internal tables.

Just search forum with dynamic internal table and you will get lots of idea on it.

Hi Gray ,

If your requirement some thing like this , that the user enters a table name and you have to preocess data from the table .

If that is the case then i feel you need a paramtere which as input the name of table , you can define it using the data type TABNAME, please check the table DD02L .

and as per the post by Shiba , you can create a dynamic internal table to retreive the data and store it

feel free to revert back in case you still have any further queries.

Dear Gary,

IMHO we can't use a structure type as a parameter ,

especially when the structure does not consist of string fields only.

This is the case why there is the need to define several select-options in the selection screen pointing to the same table ( ie : s_vbeln for vbak-vbeln, s_auart for vbak-auart ) .

In case of yours, if the parameter has a basic type, then the internal table definition should be just fine .

====

I have just read this thread again and find out that your requirement is to define a dynamic table .

In that case, you can ignore this reply
