Dynamic Internal Table

By | December 23, 2008 | Dynamic ITAB | 14,939 | 0

Describes a way to create a dynamic internal table from coding. This is also can be used when RTTS is not supported or class CL_ALV_TABLE_CREATE is not available.

You can find all Dynamic ITAB discussions at Tutorials > Dynamic Internal Table.

Recently, one of my friends asked me for the solution to create Internal Table. The problem was his system was not able to support the RTTS nor it has the class CL_ALV_TABLE_CREATE. Actually, I had developed this solution in early days when I was working on system 4.6B where I haven’t RTTS nor the ALV class.

Here is the solution:

*&---------------------------------------------------------------------*
*& Report  ZDYN_ITAB_OLD
*&---------------------------------------------------------------------*
*& Fill the Subroutine Pool source
*& Generate Subroutine Pool
*& Call the Sobroutine to create ITAB
*&---------------------------------------------------------------------*
