Reading from memory

[Former Member]

I have output data from a list in ABAP memory, is there a way to read data into an internal table?

Use the import statement, if you have already expoted it using an export statement.

examples,

TYPES: BEGIN OF TAB3_TYPE,

CONT(4),

END OF TAB3_TYPE.

DATA: INDXKEY LIKE INDX-SRTFD,

F1(4), F2 TYPE P,

TAB3 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF TAB3_TYPE WITH

NON-UNIQUE DEFAULT KEY,

WA_INDX TYPE INDX.

INDXKEY = 'INDXKEY'.

IMPORT F1 = F1

F2 = F2

TAB3 = TAB3 FROM DATABASE INDX(ST) ID INDXKEY

TO WA_INDX.

**************************************************************

Example 2

TYPES: BEGIN OF TAB3_LINE,

CONT(4),

END OF TAB3_LINE,

BEGIN OF DIRTAB_LINE.

INCLUDE STRUCTURE CDIR.

TYPES END OF DIRTAB_LINE.

DATA: INDXKEY LIKE INDX-SRTFD,

F1(4),

F2(8) TYPE P decimals 0,

TAB3 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF TAB3_LINE,

DIRTAB TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF DIRTAB_LINE,

INDX_WA TYPE INDX.

INDXKEY = 'INDXKEY'.

EXPORT F1 = F1

F2 = F2

TAB3 = TAB3

TO DATABASE INDX(ST) ID INDXKEY " TAB3 has 17 entries

FROM INDX_WA.

...

IMPORT DIRECTORY INTO DIRTAB FROM DATABASE INDX(ST) ID INDXKEY

TO INDX_WA.

I am using LIST_FROM_MEMORY FM but it is giving output in line, i require it in internal table.

It there a possibility?

[Former Member]

That's it!!! 😃

- IMPORT obj1 ... objn FROM MEMORY.

- IMPORT obj1 ... objn FROM DATABASE dbtab(ar) ID key.

- IMPORT obj1 ... objn FROM LOGFILE ID key.

- IMPORT DIRECTORY INTO itab FROM DATABASE dbtab(ar) ID key.

- IMPORT obj1 ... objn FROM DATASET dsn(ar) ID key.

- IMPORT obj1 ... objn FROM SHARED BUFFER dbtab(ar) ID key.

after using LIST_FROM_MEMORY you need to use FM

call function 'LIST_TO_ASCI'

exporting

list_index = -1

tables

listasci = int_ascitab

listobject = int_abaplist

exceptions

empty_list = 1

list_index_invalid = 2

others = 3.

yes, but this is giving the output in a line, not as records in the table.I want to pass this as an input to resue_alv_list_display fm to display the output in alv.it is possible?

[Former Member]

yes its very much possible..

you just have to loop at list_asc, and feed the value to a corresponding internal table that you will be using for alv(say its itab).

something like..

loop at list_asc.

itab-matnr = list_asc-msg(20).

itab-matkx = list_asc-msg+20(10).

*--so on by strng offsert you hav to take it in itab

append itab.

endloop.

now use itab in your alv.

cheers.

plz reward points if it helps you

Hi Aruna,

Use the IMPORT statement to read into internal table.

there is way..

see the follwoing report..

HERE WE DOWNLOAD O/P OF a REPORT TO TEXTPAD IN LOCAL PC.

the internal table <b>list_asc</b> containes the o/p of specified report.

i have used that content of internal table to download in c:\abc.txt file.

you can do whatever you wish, with the content of list_asc as per your requirements.

just run it once, enter the report name in caps in selection screen.
