dynamically creating a structure

[Former Member]

Hi,

Is it possible to dynamically define a structure? I know only one field which will be static and the other fields will be obtained only at runtime. I tried a definition which was like:

TYPES: BEGIN of struct1,

FIELD1 TYPE STRING,

INCLUDE TYPE (struct2),

END OF struct1.

But I am unable to do this, the error message says (struct2) is invalid. Can I achieve this in any other way? Thank you.

Hi,

This code snippet tells u how to get data into I_table which is created dynamically....

DATA: r_dyn_table TYPE REF TO data,

r_wa_dyn_table TYPE REF TO data,

l_fields_table type SOI_FIELDS_TABLE.

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <t_dyn_table> TYPE STANDARD TABLE,

<wa_dyn_table> TYPE ANY,

<w_field1> TYPE ANY,

<w_field2> TYPE ANY.

DATA: l_oref_structure TYPE REF TO cl_abap_structdescr,

l_abap_compdescr type abap_compdescr.

data: check1 type i,

check2 type i,

l_range(20).

r_dyn_table = IL_DYNDATA-r_dyn_table.

ASSIGN r_dyn_table->* TO <t_dyn_table>.

CREATE DATA r_wa_dyn_table LIKE LINE OF <t_dyn_table>.

ASSIGN r_wa_dyn_table->* TO <wa_dyn_table>.

l_oref_structure ?= cl_abap_typedescr=>describe_by_data(

wa_supl ).

loop at il_fill_itab into wa_supl.

loop at l_oref_structure->COMPONENTS into l_abap_compdescr.

ASSIGN COMPONENT l_abap_compdescr-name

OF STRUCTURE wa_supl TO <w_field1>.

check1 = sy-subrc.

ASSIGN COMPONENT l_abap_compdescr-name

OF STRUCTURE <wa_dyn_table> TO <w_field2>.

check2 = sy-subrc.

if check1 = 0 and check2 = 0.

<w_field2> = <w_field1>.

endif.

endloop.

APPEND <wa_dyn_table> TO <t_dyn_table>.

endloop.

You can access your dynamic internal table via a field symbol.

reward points if it helps u...
