Hello,

I wanted to know is it possible to make the input parameter name as an internal table.

Please have a look in the snip-it of the code. In this report i am trying to take p_dbtab as a table name then make an internal table i_temp of the type p_dbtab.

Thanks in advance,

Ankit

REPORT  ZPRACTICDYNAMIC.



SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK 1.

   PARAMETERS:

    p_dbtab TYPE tabname   DEFAULT 'SOMETABLE'  OBLIGATORY.

SELECTION-SCREEN END   OF BLOCK 1.



data: it_tab TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF p_dbtab.

DATA dref TYPE REF TO DATA.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <itab> TYPE STANDARD TABLE.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <line> TYPE ANY.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <field> TYPE SIMPLE.

CREATE DATA dref TYPE TABLE OF (p_dbtab).
ASSIGN dref->* TO <itab>.
SELECT * FROM (p_dbtab) INTO TABLE <itab>.
LOOP AT <itab> ASSIGNING <line>.
  ASSIGN COMPONENT 'COLUMNNAME' OF STRUCTURE <line> TO <field>.

You are with SAP? Why don't you read SAP's documentation?

As a SAP employee, shouldn't you be requesting SAP ABAP training through your manager? Or has SCN become a training site for SAP internals???

Maybe it is a good idea to join an ABAP training?

B.T.W., in the F1 help, there is a navigation tree, that allows you to access the contents top-down. There is a chapter about creating objects.
