Transform osreftab to internal table

[Mattias]

Hello,

I have a table of type osreftab that I have gott from an persistance object using

if_os_ca_persistency~get_persistent_by_query

Is it possible to dynamically convert this into an internal table?

i.e. I would prefer something like

DATA: result_table TYPE osreftab,
           tmp_result TYPE object,
           ls_row TYPE some_internal_table.

result_table = agent->if_os_ca_persistency~get_persistent_by_query( some_Query ).

LOOP AT result_table INTO tmp_result.
     ls_row = *convert tmp_result to ls_row dynamically*
     APPEND ls_row TO lt_row.
ENDLOOP.

instead of:

DATA: result_table TYPE osreftab,
           tmp_result TYPE object,
.          ls_row TYPE some_internal_table,
          tmp_row TYPE REF TO ZCL_PERSISTENT_CLASS.

result_table = agent->if_os_ca_persistency~get_persistent_by_query( some_Query ).


LOOP AT result_table INTO tmp_result.
     tmp_row ?= tmp_result.
     ls_row-field_a = tmp_row->get_field_a( ).
     ls_row-field_b = tmp_row->get_field_b( ).
     ls_row-field_c = tmp_row->get_field_c( ).

     APPEND ls_row TO lt_row.
ENDLOOP.

Regards

Hi Mattias,

I'm sure you've solved this in one way or another by now.

Anyway, while looking for an answer to my question, I ran into your post, still unanswered, and this blog post by Petr Plenkov.

Petr made a smart helper class that returns flat structures/tables rather than object references.

Apparently there's no easy standard way, so he needed to build something like that.
