Pointer to table

[Former Member]

Hello

I have the next code:

SELECT-OPTIONS so_table FOR DD02L-TABNAME OBLIGATORY.

DATA i_dd02l TYPE DD02L OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.

DATA p_pointer_table TYPE REF TO DATA.

FIELD-SYMBOLS <fs_table> TYPE TABLE.

SELECT * FROM DD02L

INTO TABLE i_dd02l

WHERE TABNAME IN so_table.

LOOP AT i_dd02l.

CLEAR p_punt_table.

CREATE DATA p_pointer_table TYPE TABLE OF (gt_dd02l-tabname).

ASSING p_pointer_table->* TO <fs_table>.

SELECT * FROM (gt_dd02l-tabname)

INTO TABLE <fs_table>.

ENDLOOP.

But the next error appears when I check it:

"The type specification of TABLE is incomplete"

I have previously used this on SAP 5.0. Now I am on a SAP 4.6C.

How can i solve the problem?

Thanks and regards

Hi,

May be you would have missed out the Table statement before the select-options:

TABLES:DD02L

FIELD-SYMBOLS <fs_table> TYPE <i><b>ANY</b></i> TABLE.

Try the change highlighted above.

FIELD-SYMBOLS <fs_table> TYPE ANY TABLE.

I have changed what you said on definition of field-symbol but error continues. In addition if i make this change, another error occurs. I use function WS_DOWNLOAD with field-symbol <fs_table> as DATA_TAB parameter and when I check the source code, the next error appears:

"<FS-TABLE> is not a STANDARD TABLE. Non-standard tables can only be passed to IMPORTING,EXPORTING or CHANGING parameters"

So is mandatory in definition of <fs_table> to write TYPE TABLE or TYPE STANDARD TABLE. On both cases initial error persists, so has anybody have any other idea?

Thanks and regards

Hi Ravikumar

I have checked the blogs you posted, and I have make a test with code of Scenario 2 of second blog (posted by Subramanian Venkateswaran). I have copied the code in a program, I have checked it and the same error appears again. I think the reason could be my SAP version (4.6C), but I'm not sure. In case the problem were SAP version, is there any other way to make that?

Thanks and regards

That ideally should not be a problem with the version, as I remember myself writing similar code in 4.6C.
