Field symbol as import parameter in class method ???

[alexander_oertel2]

Hi everyone,

is it possible to pass a field symbol as an import parameter to a method in a class? If yes, how do I define the data type of the import parameter? I'm trying to work with field symbols as the program doesn't know what kind of structure the program parameter p_srcdso has. Coding example would be something like this:

PARAMETERS: p_srcdso TYPE rsdodsobject DEFAULT '/BIC/AKVI0001'.

DATA: lr_srcpkg TYPE REF TO data.

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_table> TYPE ANY TABLE.

CREATE DATA lr_srcpkg TYPE TABLE OF (p_srcdso).

ASSIGN lr_srcpkg->* TO <fs_table>.

SELECT *

FROM (p_srcdso)

INTO TABLE <fs_table>.

CALL METHOD cl_ref->create_somethign

EXPORTING

i_source_package = <fs_table>.

Thanks,

Alex

Hi,

You can use the generic type "ANY TABLE" in your case...

or pass a data reference instead and dereference it within the method.

Halo Alexander,

You can use TYPE REF TO DATA( say the parameter name is i_data) as the importing parameter of the method create_somethign and inside the method you need to dereference it using data reference variable again.

data: dref type ref to data.
field-symbols: <fs_table> type table.

create data dref like i_data.
assign dref->* to <fs_table>.
