Dynamic type definition

[h_senden2]

Hi,

is it possible in 6.20 to create a type dynamically ?

I have a type TY_OUTPUT with 3 fields F1, F2 and F3. And depending on some user selections i want to add several fields to the TY_OUTPUT type, for instance D1, D2, D3 and D4.

I know that it is possible in 6.40 with RTTS, but we're not on 6.40

I am not sure if you can create a type, you can have a structure or a table.

Take a look at these blogs which are based on WAS < 6.40

Hi Ravi,

i'm known with these blogs, but i was looking for a dynamic TYPE definition. In my program the type is used several times in several ways. So the most efficient way to modify the program is by modifying the TYPE on runtime.

Hans,

Did you find a way of defining a type dynamically? If you found a way I would appreciate it if you could let me know.

Thanks and regards

Hi,

May this one help you.

parameters: p_tabnam type tabname default 'MARA'.
data: dref type ref to data.
field-symbols: <struc> type any.
create data dref type (p_tabnam).
assign dref->* to <struc>.
select single * from (p_tabnam) into <struc>.
