Hi,

I have a problem to decalre a internal table at run time. A internal table which structure has to determine at run time like number of fields of a internal table depending on the excel file is coming from other system.

If any body has solution.....please drop as soon as possible.

Hi

CREATE DATA <REF> TYPE <TYPE TABLE> TABLE OF <TYPE LINE>

[WITH [UNIQUE|NON-UNIQUE] keydef] [INITIAL SIZE n].

For example:

DATA: my_table TYPE REF TO data.

DATA: table_name(30).

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <my_table> TYPE table.

table_name = 'MARA'.

CREATE DATA my_table TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF (table_name).

You can also use LIKE if you want to create a table like a structure defined in program:

CREATE DATA <REF> LIKE <TYPE TABLE> TABLE OF <TYPE LINE>

but now it has to indicate explicitly the structure.

DATA: BEGIN OF itab,

field1,

field2,

END OF itab.

CREATE DATA my_table LIKE STANDARD TABLE OF itab.

But you can use this statament:

TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_itab,

field1,

field2,

END OF ty_itab.

table_name = 'TY_ITAB'.

CREATE DATA my_table TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF (table_name).

hii

chk out this code

DATA : BEGIN OF I_ITAB OCCURS 0,

TEST(5),

END OF I_ITAB.

DATA: I_DYN_TAB(10) VALUE 'I_ITAB[]'.

DATA: DTAB TYPE REF TO DATA.

FIELD-SYMBOLS : <ITAB> TYPE ANY TABLE ,

<WA> TYPE ANY.

I_ITAB-TEST = 'TEST'.

APPEND I_ITAB.

ASSIGN (I_DYN_TAB) TO <ITAB>.

LOOP AT <ITAB> ASSIGNING <WA>.

WRITE <WA>.

ENDLOOP.

Hi,

check this code..., this is used to dynamic alv colouring.

REPORT zcdf_dynamic_table.
DATA:

* Build field catalog based on your criteria.

wa_fieldcat-fieldname = 'FIELD1'.

Hai Partha

Go through the following Function Module

You can put a check depending on your condition you can pass the table parameters to the FM..Ex:-If condition1 is true. Perform gui_upload tables ITAB1.elseif condition2 is true. Perform gui_upload tables ITAB2.endif.Form gui_upload tables ITAB structure ....CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD' EXPORTING FILENAME = LDF_FILENAME3 FILETYPE = LDF_TYPE1 HAS_FIELD_SEPARATOR = 'X' TABLES DATA_TAB = ITAB EXCEPTIONS FILE_OPEN_ERROR = 1 FILE_READ_ERROR = 2 NO_BATCH = 3 GUI_REFUSE_FILETRANSFER = 4 INVALID_TYPE = 5 NO_AUTHORITY = 6 UNKNOWN_ERROR = 7 BAD_DATA_FORMAT = 8 HEADER_NOT_ALLOWED = 9 SEPARATOR_NOT_ALLOWED = 10 HEADER_TOO_LONG = 11 UNKNOWN_DP_ERROR = 12 ACCESS_DENIED = 13 DP_OUT_OF_MEMORY = 14 DISK_FULL = 15 DP_TIMEOUT = 16 OTHERS = 17 . IF SY-SUBRC <> 0. MESSAGE E506 WITH 'UPLOAD' 'SY-SUBRC=' SY-SUBRC SPACE. ENDIF.Endform.
