Posted on Jun 01, 2004 at 09:46 AM 368 Views

How can i create a workarea from an internal table in a method of a class. the problem is that the internal table gets a generic type when passing it to the method.

i tried:

data wa type ref to data.

create data wa like line of itab.

but when trying...

loop itab into wa.

... i get a conversion error.

    Hello Tobias,

    the brutal way is:

    Define into the method (or global) an internal table as

    you need and relate the passing table to it.

    fex.:

    data: lt_tab type standard table of 'Hugo'.

    data: lf_itab type 'HUGO'.

    lt_tab[] = Par_Tab[]. " type any table

    loop at itab into lf_itab.

    ...

    endloop.

    Hope i could help You

    BR

      Hello Tobias,

      In this case You have to use field-symbols.

    Hallo Tobias,

    if you really need a workarea you can also use the following:

    DATA: wa TYPE REF TO data.

    FIELD-SYMBOLS: <wa> TYPE ANY.

    CREATE DATA wa LIKE LINE OF itab.

    ASSIGN wa->* TO <wa>.

    LOOP AT itab INTO <wa>.

    ENDLOOP.

    Regards,

    Oliver
