[Former Member]

Hi,

I need to read the table which i will get that dynamically in the program.

How come your table name can change in a program?

Are you creating customised table or using standard SAP table?

Try to use if/else statement for different selecting of tables, but you must rectify the tables name at first hand.

For dynamic table name....

REPORT demo_select_dynamic_database .

DATA wa TYPE scarr.

DATA name(10) TYPE c VALUE 'SCARR'.

SELECT *

INTO wa

FROM (name) CLIENT SPECIFIED

WHERE mandt = '000'.

WRITE: / wa-carrid, wa-carrname.

ENDSELECT.

Hi Jonna,

I am afraid that when you read the table name from itab-checktable, you may need to store in a variable. The problem is we cant use select command to select record from variable.

My propose solution for you will be as below:

Loop at itab-checktable.

if itab-checktable-tablename = 'vbuk'.

Select * from vbuk...

elseif itab-checktable-tablename = 'tvak'.

Select * from tvak...

endif.

endloop.

Hope it helps you.

Hi srikanth,

Since you want to read table dynamically, thus i would suggeest to use most dynamic method:

 DATA ds_table TYPE REF TO data.
 DATA descr_struct_ref TYPE REF TO cl_abap_structdescr.
 DATA it_fieldcatalog TYPE lvc_t_fcat.
 DATA wa_fcat TYPE lvc_s_fcat.

 DATA ep_table TYPE REF TO data.
 FIELD-SYMBOLS: <my_table> TYPE ANY TABLE,
                <LINE_TABLE> TYPE ANY.
 FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs> TYPE ANY.
 FIELD-SYMBOLS: <components> TYPE abap_compdescr.

PARAMETERS: p_table TYPE tabname.
PARAMETERS: p_maxrow type i.

* Create reference for structure of the table
* because statement CREATE DATA ref TYPE TABLE OF
* is not allowed in 4.6
 CREATE DATA ds_table TYPE (p_table).
 ASSIGN ds_table->* TO <fs>.

* cast down
 descr_struct_ref ?= cl_abap_typedescr=>describe_by_data( <fs> ).

* build fieldcatalog
 LOOP AT descr_struct_ref->components ASSIGNING <components>.
   wa_fcat-fieldname     = <components>-name.
   wa_fcat-ref_table     = p_table.
   wa_fcat-ref_field     = <components>-name.
   APPEND wa_fcat TO it_fieldcatalog.
 ENDLOOP.

* build a reference for internal table
 CALL METHOD cl_alv_table_create=>create_dynamic_table
   EXPORTING
     it_fieldcatalog           = it_fieldcatalog
   IMPORTING
     ep_table                  = ep_table
   EXCEPTIONS
     generate_subpool_dir_full = 1
     OTHERS                    = 2.

* assign refrence to field-symbol
 ASSIGN ep_table->* TO <my_table>.

* select dynamically in your table
 SELECT * FROM (p_table) INTO TABLE <my_table> UP TO p_maxrow ROWS.
  LOOP AT <MY_TABLE> ASSIGNING <LINE_TABLE>.
    WRITE:/ <LINE_TABLE>.
  ENDLOOP.
