retreiving type of a "type any table" variable

[dany_charbonneau]

Hi,

I have a receiving parameter "type any table". If I send a table of type SFLIGHT in this parameter, I want to retreive the litteral name "SFLIGHT", how can I do it ?

I was expecting to do something like :

descr_ref ?= cl_abap_tabledescr=>describe_by_data( it_data ).

and look for the ABSOLUTE_NAME but I end up with a useless generated string, something like \TYPE=%_T00004S00000000O0000001280

Thanks !

I found the problem... a transparent table is nothing and a generated name is provided...

It work fine when we access the structure name behing the transparent table :

data: lr_descr_ref TYPE ref to cl_abap_typedescr,

lr_descr_tab TYPE ref to cl_abap_tabledescr,

lr_descr_struc TYPE ref to cl_abap_structdescr.

lr_descr_ref = cl_abap_typedescr=>describe_by_data( it_data ).

lr_descr_tab ?= lr_descr_ref.

lr_descr_struc ?= lr_descr_tab->get_table_line_type( ).

WRITE: / 'Typename :', lr_descr_struc->absolute_name.
