Internal table of Class Type

[Former Member]

Hi!

I' ve a problem with accessing the attributes of objects (global class type) stored in an internal table via READ TABLE ... WITH KEY.

Let' s say my class is something like

CLASS foo DEFINITION.
PUBLIC SECTION.
DATA: foo_key TYPE STRING.
....

and now I' d like to do an operation like

DATA: lt_foo TYPE TABLE OF REF TO foo,
             ls_foo like line of lt_foo.

* fill table
...

* read table with special key

READ TABLE lt_foo into ls_foo
   WITH KEY  foo_key = 'ABC'.

This gives me an compile error.

Has anybody got an idea how to access the objects attributes in the read table-statement?

Regards,

Thomas

You are appending an instance into an internal table. When you now want to access the attributes you'll have to do this:

loop at lt_foo into ls_foo.

if ls_foo->foo_key = 'ABC'.

DO THIS.

else.

DO THAT / OR DO NOTHING.

endif.

endloop.

An objects attribute in a table can be accessed via TABLE_LINE->attr.
