Dynamic Internal tables

[former_member2382]

Hi,

Would like to know about the Dynamic Internal tables. How do we use them and in what conditions. Can you please elaborate in detail.

Many thanks.

hi,

Dynanmic internal table has nothing to do with include file etc.

It has to do with field-symbols.

If your requirement is creating a dynamic internal table,

(provided u have the information about which-which fields should be in the table)

, then u can use the below code

There is an INDEPENDENT FORM

whose inputs are FIELD LIST

and from those, it consructs dynamic table.

. Here is the program.

the dynamic table name will be

<DYNTABLE>.

U can use this program (FORM in this program)

to generate any kind of internal table

by specifying some inputs (ie. field list)

REPORT abc.

COMPULSORY

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <dyntable> TYPE ANY TABLE.

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <dynline> TYPE ANY.

DATA: lt TYPE lvc_t_fcat.

DATA: ls TYPE lvc_s_fcat.

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fld> TYPE ANY.

DATA : fldname(50) TYPE c.

GET INFO

CONCATENATE 'P' infty INTO iname.

CALL FUNCTION 'DD_NAMETAB_TO_DDFIELDS'

EXPORTING

tabname = iname

ddfields = ddfields.

CONSTRUCT FIELD LIST

LOOP AT ddfields.

ls-fieldname = ddfields-fieldname.

APPEND ls TO lt.

ENDLOOP.

Hi,

dynamic internal table is a table which is not defined until runtime, inside ABAP code.

Dynamic internal table is internal table that we create on the fly with flexible column numbers.

Sample OCde:

 type-pools : abap. 
  field-symbols: <dyn_table> type standard table, 
               <dyn_wa>, 
               <dyn_field>. 
  data: dy_table type ref to data, 
      dy_line  type ref to data, 
      xfc type lvc_s_fcat, 
      ifc type lvc_t_fcat. 
  selection-screen begin of block b1 with frame. 
parameters: p_table(30) type c default 'T001'. 
selection-screen end of block b1. 
  start-of-selection. 
    perform get_structure. 
  perform create_dynamic_itab.      **********Creates a dyanamic internal table********** 
  perform get_data. 
  perform write_out. 
  form get_structure. 
  data : idetails type abap_compdescr_tab, 
       xdetails type abap_compdescr. 
  data : ref_table_des type ref to cl_abap_structdescr. 
  * Get the structure of the table. 
  ref_table_des ?=  
      cl_abap_typedescr=>describe_by_name( p_table ). 
  idetails[] = ref_table_des->components[]. 
    loop at idetails into xdetails. 
    clear xfc. 
    xfc-fieldname = xdetails-name . 
    xfc-datatype = xdetails-type_kind. 
    xfc-inttype = xdetails-type_kind. 
    xfc-intlen = xdetails-length. 
    xfc-decimals = xdetails-decimals. 
    append xfc to ifc. 
  endloop. 
  endform. 
  form create_dynamic_itab. 
  * Create dynamic internal table and assign to FS 
  call method cl_alv_table_create=>create_dynamic_table 
               exporting 
                  it_fieldcatalog = ifc 
               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>. 
  endform. 
    
  form get_data. 
  * Select Data from table. 
  select * into table <dyn_table> 
             from (p_table). 
  endform. 
   Write out data from table. 
  loop at <dyn_table> into <dyn_wa>. 
    do. 
      assign component  sy-index   
         of structure <dyn_wa> to <dyn_field>. 
      if sy-subrc <> 0. 
        exit. 
      endif. 
      if sy-index = 1. 
        write:/ <dyn_field>. 
      else. 
        write: <dyn_field>. 
      endif. 
    enddo. 
  endloop.

How to create a Dynamic Internal Table or Array?

Can you create an internal table dynamically? (at run time)

Yes , you can create a Dynamic Internal table .Just chek out this program .

type-pools : abap.

field-symbols: <dyn_table> type standard table,

<dyn_wa>,

<dyn_field>.

data: dy_table type ref to data,

dy_line type ref to data,

xfc type lvc_s_fcat,

ifc type lvc_t_fcat.

selection-screen begin of block b1 with frame.

parameters: p_table(30) type c default 'T001'.

selection-screen end of block b1.

start-of-selection.

perform get_structure.

perform create_dynamic_itab. *********Creates a dyanamic internal table*********

perform get_data.

perform write_out.

form get_structure.

data : idetails type abap_compdescr_tab,

xdetails type abap_compdescr.

data : ref_table_des type ref to cl_abap_structdescr.

• Get the structure of the table.

ref_table_des ?=

cl_abap_typedescr=>describe_by_name( p_table ).

idetails[] = ref_table_des->components[].

loop at idetails into xdetails.

clear xfc.

xfc-fieldname = xdetails-name .

xfc-datatype = xdetails-type_kind.

xfc-inttype = xdetails-type_kind.

xfc-intlen = xdetails-length.

xfc-decimals = xdetails-decimals.

append xfc to ifc.

endloop.

endform.

form create_dynamic_itab.

• Create dynamic internal table and assign to FS

call method cl_alv_table_create=>create_dynamic_table

exporting

it_fieldcatalog = ifc

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>.

endform.

form get_data.

• Select Data from table.

select * into table <dyn_table>

from (p_table).

endform.

Write out data from table.

loop at <dyn_table> into <dyn_wa>.

do.

assign component sy-index

of structure <dyn_wa> to <dyn_field>.

if sy-subrc <> 0.

exit.

endif.

if sy-index = 1.

write:/ <dyn_field>.

else.

write: <dyn_field>.

endif.

enddo.

endloop.

or Just try out this simpler dynamic internal tables

*line = ' CITYFROM CITYTO '.
