How to create a variable length records within an internal table?

[Former Member]

Here is what I did in the program:

TYPES : BEGIN OF type_outerface_tbl,

text(1000) TYPE c,

END OF type_outerface_tbl.

DATA: gw_outerface_tbl TYPE type_outerface_tbl,

gi_outerface_tbl TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF type_outerface_tbl.

The internal outerface table is fix length.

I 'APPEND gw_outerface_tbl TO gi_outerface_tbl'

If the TEXT size vary, how do I define the table?

Thank you very much!

Here is what I modified:

TYPES: BEGIN OF record_header_1,

recty(1) TYPE c,

awkey(20) TYPE c,

doucmnttype(5) TYPE c,

END OF record_header_1.

DATA: gw_record_header_1 TYPE record_header_1,

gi_record_header_1 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF record_header_1.

---

TYPES : BEGIN OF type_outerface_tbl,

text TYPE string,

END OF type_outerface_tbl.

DATA: gw_outerface_tbl TYPE type_outerface_tbl,

gi_outerface_tbl TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF type_outerface_tbl.

-

---

DATA: lw_line TYPE string.

-

---

CONCATENATE gw_record_header_1-recty

',' gw_record_header_1-awkey

',' gw_record_header_1-doucmnttype

INTO lw_line.

APPEND lw_line TO gi_outerface_tbl.

CLEAR lw_line.

I got the following error message:

"LW_LINE" cannot be converted to the line type of 'GI_OUTFERCE_TBL'.

Please advise where I did wrong?

Thank you very much!

Hi

please check the following code.

TYPES: BEGIN OF record_header_1,

recty(1) TYPE c, "1 1 Record type 'D'

awkey(20) TYPE c, "2 20 bkpf-awkey

doucmnttype(5) TYPE c, "22 5 value 'INV '

END OF record_header_1.

DATA: gw_record_header_1 TYPE record_header_1,

gi_record_header_1 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF record_header_1.

TYPES : BEGIN OF type_outerface_tbl,

text TYPE string,

END OF type_outerface_tbl.

DATA: gw_outerface_tbl TYPE type_outerface_tbl,

gi_outerface_tbl TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF type_outerface_tbl.

DATA: wa_outerface_tbl TYPE type_outerface_tbl. <----

---

Define a Work area

DATA: lw_line TYPE string.

CONCATENATE gw_record_header_1-recty ',' gw_record_header_1-awkey ',' gw_record_header_1-doucmnttype INTO lw_line.

wa_outerface_tbl-text = lw_line. <----

---

pass your text to work area

APPEND wa_outerface_tbl TO gi_outerface_tbl.<----

---

append work area to your internal table.

CLEAR wa_outerface_tbl.
