Updating database table from a dynamic internal table

[Former Member]

Hi all

I have a dynamic internal table which is populated with data accoring to select-option.

Now i have to make updations to the data fetched into this dynamic table and then update the database table with these changes. To do this, i need access to the work area of the dynamic internal table, but i am not able to either access it or create it.

Kindly suggest how to go about it.

PS : The task is being performed using classes and methods a nd not function modules.

Thanks & Regards

Hi,

Check this example of how create work area for a dynamic internal table.

PARAMETERS: p_input TYPE i OBLIGATORY.

START-OF-SELECTION.

  DATA: v_fieldname  TYPE char30.
  DATA: v_char       TYPE numc4.
  DATA: it_fldcat    TYPE lvc_t_fcat.
  DATA: wa_it_fldcat LIKE LINE OF it_fldcat.
  DATA: gp_table     TYPE REF TO data.

  FIELD-SYMBOLS: <gt_table> TYPE table.

  DO p_input TIMES.

    v_fieldname = 'COL'.
    v_char      = sy-index.

    CONCATENATE v_fieldname v_char INTO v_fieldname.
    CONDENSE v_fieldname.

    CLEAR wa_it_fldcat.
    wa_it_fldcat-fieldname = v_fieldname.
    wa_it_fldcat-datatype = 'CHAR'.
    wa_it_fldcat-outputlen = 5.
    wa_it_fldcat-intlen = 5.
    APPEND wa_it_fldcat TO it_fldcat .

  ENDDO.

* Internal table creation..
  CALL METHOD cl_alv_table_create=>create_dynamic_table
  EXPORTING it_fieldcatalog = it_fldcat
  IMPORTING ep_table = gp_table.

  ASSIGN gp_table->* TO <gt_table>.

  CHECK sy-subrc = 0.

  DATA: WA TYPE REF TO DATA.

* Work area for the dynamic internal table.
  CREATE DATA WA LIKE LINE OF <gt_table>.

  WRITE: / 'Dynamic internal table created'.

* Process the internal table
  LOOP AT <gt_table> INTO WA.
    
***********Do all your stuffs there..    

  ENDLOOP.

Hi Naren

thanks for the solution. i have another query.

when my data is passed from the internal table to work area, i need access to a particular column of the work area(the column is chosen dynamically) and update the same with a new value.

Kindly help.

Hi,

you can create a field-symbols..try this..

Continuation with my previous example..

* Work area for the dynamic internal table.
  CREATE DATA WA LIKE LINE OF <gt_table>.
 
  WRITE: / 'Dynamic internal table created'.

  field-symbols : <FS>.
 
* Process the internal table
  LOOP AT <gt_table> INTO WA.
    
* get the column value
     ASSIGN COMPONENT 'MATNR' OF STRUCTURE WA TO <FS>.
  
     CHECK sy-subrc = 0.

* Modify the value...
     <FS>   = 'test'.

* Modify the internal table.
      MODIFY <gt_table> FROM WA.

  ENDLOOP.
