Read dynamically created node

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have created a node dynamically based on some fieldcatalog in one of the method in my webdynpro for Abap.

Now in another method i want to read the contents of that dynamically created node.

Can somebody help me in this regards pl.

HI,

When you have created the node there itself, you have to move it to some global variable. declare a vairable in component controller attributes. And use it where ever required.

Hi Lekha,

I m facing problem in creating the table for that particular node reference. How do u thing i can solve this ?

This table i want to use in method GET_STATIC_ATTRIBUTES_TABLE( IMPORTING table = lt_table ) or something similar to get the all the binded values of that node.

Hi Soumya,

Thats exactly what I was referring to. When you try to use any of the GET_STATIC* methods you would end up in an error saying that the respective attribute does not exist. You would have to repeatedly make use of the normal GET_ATTRIBUTE method for this.

Hi Soumya,

Thats exactly what I was referring to. When you try to use any of the GET_STATIC* methods you would end up in an error saying that the respective attribute does not exist. You would have to repeatedly call the normal GET_ATTRIBUTE method for different attributes. Try put the calls to this method inside a loop & specify the index while trying to read the attribute.

Hi Uday,

Thanks for the reply.

But i m facing difficulty in declaring the variable of that type. If I give lt_values type data ill get syntax errors as data is a generic type. Can u help me.

Hi,

  FIELD-SYMBOLS :
    <lt_table>        TYPE STANDARD TABLE.      " Field symbol for detail node

*wd_comp_controller->gt_data_table type ref to data.
* Get the node ref
  lr_node = wd_comp_controller->lr_node.
* Assign the ref of table
  IF wd_comp_controller->gt_data_table IS NOT INITIAL.
    ASSIGN wd_comp_controller->gt_data_table->* TO <lt_table>.
  ENDIF.                                      "if wd_comp_controller->gt_data_table is not initial.

  IF lr_node IS NOT INITIAL.
    CALL METHOD lr_node->get_static_attributes_table
      IMPORTING
        table = <lt_table>.

Regards,

Lekha.

Hi Lekha,

I have tried the similar solution where in i passed fieldsymbol of type Standard table to GET_STATIC_ATTRIBUTES_TABLE but while executing i got a Dump saying "Line types of an internal table and a work area not compatible."

Hi,

I guess you might have created a dynamic internal table right where yuo have even created a dynamic node.

Move the relevant linetypes/tabletypes into global variables and use them.

Can you paste your code....

Hi Lekha,

Here is my code.

METHOD1:

• Next, validate which fields you will use as ALV columns *******

DATA: ls_component TYPE cl_abap_structdescr=>component,

lr_type TYPE REF TO cl_abap_datadescr,

lt_components TYPE cl_abap_structdescr=>component_table.

*in place of CHAR20, we need to place the data-element of the field to get

*the heading to the ALV grid columns i.e. lt_fieldcatlog-dd_roll

*(field for dataelement in fieldcatalog)

LOOP AT lt_fieldcatlog INTO ls_fieldcatlog.

lr_type ?= cl_abap_typedescr=>describe_by_name( p_name = 'CHAR20' ).

ls_component-name = ls_fieldcatlog-fieldname.

ls_component-type = lr_type .

APPEND ls_component TO lt_components.

ENDLOOP.

• Next, create a new structure and assign it to a new dynamic context node *******

DATA: lr_root_info TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node_info ,

lr_node_info TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node_info,

lr_structdescr TYPE REF TO cl_abap_structdescr.

CALL METHOD cl_abap_structdescr=>create

EXPORTING

p_components = lt_components

RECEIVING

p_result = lr_structdescr.

• Get context node info

lr_root_info = wd_context->get_node_info( ).

• Generate new node with the dynamic structure

CALL METHOD lr_root_info->add_new_child_node

EXPORTING

name = 'LEGACY'

is_initialize_lead_selection = abap_false

static_element_rtti = lr_structdescr

is_static = abap_false

RECEIVING

child_node_info = lr_node_info.

• get instance of new node

dyn_node = wd_context->get_child_node( name = 'LEGACY' ).

ASSIGN lt_legacy->* TO <tab>.

dyn_node->bind_table( <tab> ).

*instantiate alv component

DATA: l_ref_cmp_usage TYPE REF TO if_wd_component_usage.

l_ref_cmp_usage = wd_this->wd_cpuse_legacytable( ).

IF l_ref_cmp_usage->has_active_component( ) IS INITIAL.

l_ref_cmp_usage->create_component( ).

ENDIF.

• last, GET reference to model *******

DATA: lo_interfacecontroller TYPE REF TO iwci_salv_wd_table.

lo_interfacecontroller = wd_this->wd_cpifc_legacytable( ).

lo_interfacecontroller->set_data( dyn_node ).

ENDIF.

METHOD2:

"Now create the internal table dynamically.

CALL METHOD cl_alv_table_create=>create_dynamic_table

EXPORTING

it_fieldcatalog = lt_fcatlog

IMPORTING

ep_table = lt_legacy.

ASSIGN lt_legacy->* to <fs_legacy>.

dyn_node = wd_context->get_child_node( name = 'LEGACY ' ).

dyn_node->get_static_attributes_table( IMPORTING table = <fs_legacy> ).

"Line types of an internal table and a work area not compatible."

Where are you getting this error.

Hi,

When you check in ST22 for SOURCECODE there you an find the error. Paste that piece of code.
