How to have a generic typed column in a database table

[deepak_kantia]

Hi,

I have to create a table with one column which should be able to hold values of any data type. At runtime I will get values from different fields of different tables.

Any idea how to achieve thi as there is no generic data type available with ABAP which can store other types without loss of information.

Hi,

Try RAW(1 to 255 bytes) or RAWSTRING(more than 256 bytes) which are byte sequence. and should be ableto store any kind of data.

Or even LRAW but you need one extra field beforethis field for storing its length andwe cannot have more than 3 fields of this type in a table.

How about storing as STRING?
