How to check in ABAP if one referenced table is initial?

[former_member726654]

Hello,

I have the next code:

IF lt_sals_range-mt_range_table IS INITIAL.
ENDIF.

As I want to check if lt_sals_range-mt_range_table[] IS INITIAL. But it gives me a sintax error because component mt_range_table is next type:

mt_range_table TYPE REF TO data

and I can't change it.

How I could check if this internal table that it gives have any entry?

Regards.

Look how lt_sals_range-mt_range_table is used in other parts of the program. Or possible some examples. (You've not given any context here).

But essentially, you need a field-symbol of some kind and a dereference.

ASSIGN lt_sals_range-mt_range_Table->* TO field-symbol(<range_Table>).
IF sy-subrc IS NOT INITIAL or range_table IS INITIAL.
  " Do initial processing.
ENDIF.

It worked by this way!

Thanks.
