Getting values back from dynamic internal table

[Former Member]

I'm moving values from itab declared like DATA. Then moving the values to another field-symnobl data. Now after doing some change to the second table, I want to move the values to the first table. Anybody has any idea how to do it?

DATA: itab TYPE REF TO data.

GET REFERENCE OF me->query_result INTO itab.

itab = me->query_result.

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <itab1> TYPE table.

ASSIGN itab->* TO <itab1>.

Here after making change to <itab1>, I want to swap the value to itab.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

I think you are pretty confused regarding use of TYPE REF TO variable.

GET REFERENCE OF me->query_result INTO itab.

*itab = me->query_result. "Wrong construct can't do like this

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <itab1> TYPE STANDARD TABLE.

ASSIGN itab->* TO <itab1>.

"After ASSIGN <itab1> refers to the same internal table. Whatever changes you do to <itab1> would be reflected in me->query_result also.

Hi,

ASSIGN itab->* TO <itab1>.

Since you are assigning itab to itab1, itab1 refers to the same memory area of itab and hence any changes made to itab1 would reflect in itab .
