Export a dynamic table (defined by field-symbol)

[former_member270159]

Hi,

I would like to export the field-symbol <fs_table> in a class method.

Unfortunatly I got OBJECTS_TABLES_NOT_COMPATIBLE dump while storing the field-symbol to the exporting variable.

       
  DATA lt_table  TYPE REF TO data.
  
  FIELD-SYMBOLS <fs_table> TYPE STANDARD TABLE.

.....

* create dynamic table
  CREATE DATA lt_table TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF (iv_structure_name).
  ASSIGN lt_table->* TO <fs_table>.

....// fill <fs_table>

et_data_table = <fs_table>. 

The exporting parameter et_data_table is of type STANDARD TABLE but this can be changed.

How can I make it work?

Thanks in advance,

Best Regards Clemens

Hi,

Use TYPE REF TO Data for the exporting parameter. And assign lt_table to it.

And in the calling program you can assign that into a field-symbol.

Hey Sesh,

the problem still exist.

Hi,

Sorry I got your problem wrong.

Use TYPE REF TO Data for the exporting parameter. And assign lt_table to it.

Assuming et_data_table is TYPE REF TO DATA.

et_data_table = lt_table.

Then you can dereference it and copy in to the field-symbol in the calling program.

Hi Sesh,

And assign lt_table to it.

How can I assign lt_table to et_data_table(because this isn't a field-symbol)?

Hi,

By assign I mean using the = not the ASSIGN keyword.

Since your lt_table is TYPE REF TO DATA and if you declare your exporting parameter as TYPE REF TO DATA then you can use = to assign the reference of lt_table to your exporting parameter.

As I have put in the code,

et_table_data = lt_table.

Hi,

If ur using a variable 'et_data_table' as an exporting parameter in a class method then u can do the same by putting the field symbol instead of 'et_data_table' .But it should be of the same type as dat of

'et_data_table' .It ll work.

Hi Ajit,

I tried it, put its not possible to create method parameters that are field-symbols. Or do I understand you wrong.?
