Create dynamic variable with dynamic type

[Former Member]

Hi,

how can i create dynamically a variable with a dynamic type. i know i can use the following instruction but my problem is too instantiate the TYPE.

CREATE DATA dref TYPE HANDLE struct_type.

For example i would like to create a new data with type P0001 (HR structure).

Thanks for your help.

Cheers

Why do you use TYPE HANDLE for structure ?

You should use TYPE or TYPE TABLE to create data & then dereference it to a field symbol.

CREATE DATA dref TYPE struct_type.

ASSIGN dref->* TO <fs>

Ok, thanks but the struct_type must be dynamical.

Hello Tora Tora,

You structure is dynamic then you can use dynamic tokens for it :

DATA:
V_STRUC TYPE STRUKNAME,
DREF TYPE DATA.

FIELD-SYMBOL:
<TAB> TYPE STANDARD TABLE,
<WA> TYPE ANY.

V_STRUC = 'PA0001'.

CREATE DATA DREF TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF (V_STRUC).
ASSIGN DREF->* TO <TAB>.
CLEAR DREF.

CREATE DATA DREF TYPE (V_STRUC).
ASSIGN DREF->* TO <WA>.
CLEAR DREF.

BR,

You can use a field catalog instead of any specific structure, while creating the dynamic internal table . The field catalog types can be modified as per logic/conditions.

• Create dynamic internal table and assign to FS

call method cl_alv_table_create=>create_dynamic_table

exporting

it_fieldcatalog = it_fldcat

importing

ep_table = new_table.

assign new_table->* to <dyn_table>.

• Create dynamic work area and assign to FS

create data new_line like line of <dyn_table>.

assign new_line->* to <dyn_wa>.

Hi,

You can do this in different ways

1. if you know the structure name (i.e. mara or marc etc,)

directly you can create the internam table.

data: l_struc tyepe tabname value 'MARA'. -

---

> This can be changed as per your requirement

l_data tyepe ref to data.

field-symbols: <itab> type any table.

create data l_data type standard table of (l_struct).

assign l_data->* to <itab>.

2. If the structure you need to build programaically then you can do this using RTTS or creating field catalog then calling normal method cl_alv_table_create=>create_dynamic_table to create the dynamic table.

Thanks
