Function Module Table problem

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a FM with a changing parameter of type TABLE,

I want to use loop at on this table with WHERE Clause

FUNCTION Z_DATA_RECCOUNT.
*"----------------------------------------------------------------------
*"*"Local Interface:
*"  CHANGING
*"     REFERENCE(T_SOURCE_PACKAGE) TYPE  TABLE

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <l_s_source_package> type ANY,
               <temp_buffer> type any.

LOOP AT t_source_package ASSIGNING <temp_buffer>
                                    WHERE /bic/tr = '2' AND
                                                /bic/res = '3'.

But the system is saying that:

Error:

"In "LOOP ... WHERE ..." the row type of the table must be statically defined statically defined"

Please advice

Hello,

You can do this because READ TABLE supports dynamic tokens

But then you will read only 1 line of the table which contradicts the usage of LOOP ... WHERE

declare :

<temp_buffer> like line of t_source_package.

Nopes, not working:

It is saying:

The field "T_SOURCE_PACKAGE" specified under LIKE has no type.

Hello Merc,

This is because the Field Symbol <temp_buffer> is generic & its type is not determined till runtime.

So when you are trying to use LOOP ... WHERE & giving the fieldnames

WHERE /bic/tr = '2' AND /bic/res = '3'.

the compiler cannot determine that these fields are available in <temp_buffer>.

Hence you are getting this error.

I have a question, if you know the tables fields then why have you decalred the TABLES param as generic ?

BR,

Suhas

PS: LOOP ... WHERE does not support dynamic tokens. So you have to think of some workaround for this

Ok, But if I do:

FUNCTION Z_DATA_RECCOUNT.
*"----------------------------------------------------------------------
*"*"Local Interface:
*"  CHANGING
*"     REFERENCE(T_SOURCE_PACKAGE) TYPE  TABLE
 
DATA: temp_buffer LIKE SORTED TABLE OF  l_s_source_package
                 WITH UNIQUE KEY /BIC/SETRADAT
                                   /BIC/SERESNAM.
 "There are 2000 records in t_source_package table.

READ TABLE t_source_package into temp_buffer 
                          WITH TABLE KEY /BIC/SETRADAT = '2'
                                         /BIC/SERESNAM = '3'.

Error:

The specified type has no structure and therefore no component called "/BIC/SETRADAT". component called "/BIC/SETRADAT".

Thats cuz t_source_package is of type table, how shall I get the type of it and assign to it it ?

I think i resolved it like this

READ TABLE t_source_package into temp_buffer 
                          WITH TABLE KEY ('/BIC/SETRADAT') = <TRADE_DATE>
                                         ('/BIC/SERESNAM') = <RESOURCE_NAME>.

<temp_buffer> type line of t_source_package.

[Former Member]

type line of t_source_package.

does not work.

Saha,

What shall I do then, I need more records not just one, Please help !

Hi Merc

Try the following non performant workaround:

LOOP AT t_source_package ASSIGNING <temp_buffer>.
    IF <temp_buffer>-/bic/tr = '2' AND <temp_buffer>-/bic/res = '3'.
        " Do your coding
    ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.

Best regards

Markus
