Dynamicly creating an internal table with header line

Hi experts,
I am trying to do a read on an internal table using field symbols of type any table. To be able to read more than one row at once, I'd like to read it into another internal table (instead of just one line and instead of looping through them one by one).
So far the following line rendered an error that the target internal table doesn't have a header line
read table <fs_v_tab> WITH KEY (<fs_comp>) = <fs_param>-low INTO <fs_v_tab>.
(also attempted using "<fs_v_tab>->*" & "<fs_v_tab>[]" to be silly)
Based on the following article, I was wondering if it were possible to dynamicly create an internal table with header line.
[http://help-abap.blogspot.com/2008/09/dynamic-internal-table-creation.html|http://help-abap.blogspot.com/2008/09/dynamic-internal-table-creation.html]
Any help or tips on how to dynamicly filter an internal table field-symbol is greatly appreciated!

Just read the online help:
This statement reads a row from internal table itab.
Or more exact:
This statement reads one row from internal table itab.
Therefore you can not read multiple lines into another table. The header line is needed to put the result in. And this is not what you intended, the result will be in the header line, not in the table itself.
If the row to be read is not uniquely specified, the first suitable row is read. In the case of index tables, this row has the lowest table index of all matching rows.
At least you have to do what you dont wanna do: looping.

BADI cant use an internal table with header line

hi,
In BADI, we cant use an internal table with header line, and I am calling a function module which requires internal table as import parameter, now, the table I am passing is without a header line, So how to solve this problem ?

You can use a type and then create an internal table of that type.
types :
begin of t_<example>
*field list
end of t_<example>
data :
gt_<table> type standard table of t_<example>
pass this to the FM

Passing an internal table WITH HEADER LINE to abap object

Hi. In another thread, it was explained how to pass an internal table to an abap object method. Is it possible to pass an internal table that has a header line, and RETAIN the header line once the table has been passed?
My problem is, that I can pass the table, update it, but the read buffer is not populated when returning from the object's method. This is the result of being able to pass a STANDARD TABLE type, but not a STANDARD TABLE WITH HEADER LINE.
This means that I have to read the table into a work area instead of doing a READ TABLE LKNA1 within the method, which is what I need to do.
Thanks.

Please check this sample program, notice that it is modifing the internal table and passing it back modified as well as passing the "work area" or "header line" back thru the exporting parameter.

Internal table with header line

Hi All,
I want to declare a internal table with headerline as page attribute.
i am having to fields in the internal table ( firstname and lastname ). how to do that?
helpful answers will be rewarded.
Regards,
Azaz Ali.

Azaz,
Why do you need a header line?
Header lines are a no-no in an object context and if you need to loop at the table you can always declare a line type or an field symbol to process the table.
If you need an table as a page parameter the best way to do it is to create a table type. This is based of a line type (another name for structure ) and this may well be based off a database (transparent) table.
If you need to do special things to the table I would look at tableview iterators.
Let me dig out a blog reference for that...

Why does my internal table(with header line) ignore 4 of its fields?

Hi Gurus,
I am a newbie to ABAP how has spent far to much of my weekend time trying to solve the following problem;
when trying to insert data from table cdpos into my internal table, I only get the two object* fields, the other 3 are not even part of the internal table according to the debugger.
my select code is:
SELECT fname tabkey changenr    objectclas objectid
   FROM cdpos
   INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF i_cd_index
WHERE tabname = 'XXX'
   AND fname   = 'XXX'
   AND chngind = 'U'
ENDSELECT.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
ENDIF.
- If I use a wa like line of i_cd_index the other fields will show up.
- I have tried with including 'TABLE' in the INTO statement, same result.
Please help out, getting very frustrated here....
/Mike

Hi Magdic,
I have completely coded for but i have taken as parameters rather direct values (XXXX). Under stand the code and select statement you will get it. Program which i have shown is working fine.
Do one thing first go the table CDPOS take one entry of Objectid, Tabname, fname and chngind and then enter in the selection and find whether the values are fetched correctly or not.
To my knowledge there might be no data in your table.
Anyhow try the below code.
TABLES: CDPOS.
DATA: ITAB LIKE CDPOS OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
parameters: p_CHGID like CDPOS-chngind,
            p_TAB like CDPOS-TABNAME,
            P_FNAM LIKE CDPOS-FNAME.
SELECT OBJECTID TABNAME FNAME CHNGIND FROM CDPOS INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF ITAB WHERE OBJECTID = P_CHGID
                                                                                AND TABNAME = P_TAB
                                                                                AND FNAME = P_FNAM.
APPEND ITAB.
ENDSELECT.
WRITE: ITAB-OBJECTID, ITAB-TABNAME, ITAB-FNAME, ITAB-CHNGIND.

How to move field symbol internal table to internal table with header line?

Dear all,
hi...hereby i would like to ask how i can move field symbol internal table to a internal table?
as i know field symbol internal table is without header line..
so, may i know how to do this....to move field symbol internal table to internal table which consist of header line and field and record will same as field symbol internal table...in additional, my field symbol internal table is dynamic table mean everytime will have flexible columns..?
Please advise...
Thanks
Regard,
ToToRo.
Edited by: @ToToRo@ on Aug 20, 2009 6:16 AM

Hello,
Try this way:
If both the type of internal tables are same then you can directly assign dynamic internal table to static internal table.
itab = <itab>.
Suppose you have field symbol internal table <itab> which is different in structure from ITAB.
Now, you can create <wa> as follow:
FIELD-SYMBOLS <wa>.
DATA wa TYPE REF TO DATA.
CREATE DATA wa TYPE LINE OF <itab>.
ASSIGN wa->* to <wa>.
This way your work area is read.
Using [ASSIGN COMPONENT|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/EN/fc/eb3923358411d1829f0000e829fbfe/content.htm] syntax you can read required component of <wa>.
Finally you can use that value to load static internal table.
You can also refer to my thread on [Dynamic table|Re: Creating Dynamic table].
Hope this helps!
Thanks,
Augustin.

here my doubt is whether i can move data from work area to internal table in this way?
whether this is the correct approach or not?

hii,
u can define structure and make workarea ,internal table using that structure.
for example
types:begin of struct,
         declare all fields,
         end of struct.
data:wa type struct,
       int_tab type standard table of struct.
hope this will help u.

Moving data into internal table without header line

Hello experts.
i have two internal tables . itab1 without headerline and itab2 with headerline. itab1 has 10 fields and itab2 has 2 fields.

      lifnr like j_1imovend-lifnr,
      j_1ipanno like j_1imovend-j_1ipanno,
end of itab2.
now i want to move the data from itab2-j_1ipanno into itab1-j_1ipanno. so pls tell me how to do that. lifnr in both the tables are the same.
thanks for all the replies.

Hi Shiva,
In with out header line,
You declare header line & body separately like
data: IT_MARA type standard table of MARA,
WA_MARA like line of IT_MARA.
Advantages:
1. Clear differentiation of header line over body
2. It is must in the ABAP Objects to have separate header line & body
3. Use ful in Nested Internal tables
Disadvantages:
1. Long syntax
for example: Loop at IT_MARA into WA_MARA.
In with header line
Data ITAB like MARA occurs 0 with header line.
Advantages:
1. Simple to use & declare over without header line.
Also,
With Header line:
codedata : itab like <dbtable> occurs 0 with header line.
Data: begin of itab occurs 0,
f1 type f1,
f2 type f2,
end of itab.[/code]
Without Header line.
codeTypes: begin of ty_tab,
f1 type f1,
f2 type f2,
end of ty_tab.
Data: itab type table of ty_tab, " Internal Table
wa type ty_tab. " Work Area[/code]
at any point of time use internal table without header line,it will be good performance as well OO ABAP will allow only internal table without header line.
Just use one simple example :
create one simple program with header line,use get run time field.
create one simple program without header line,use get run time field.
see the results ,here time will be micro seconds,so take 1000 records to internal table and do calculate the time.
While adding or retrieving records to / from internal table we have to keep the record temporarily.
The area where this record is kept is called as work area for the internal table. The area must have the same structure as that of internal table. An internal table consists of a body and an optional header line.
Header line is a implicit work area for the internal table. It depends on how the internal table is declared that the itab will have the header line or not.
e.g.
data: begin of itab occurs 10,
ab type c,
cd type i,
end of itab. " this table will have the header line.
data: wa_itab like itab. " explicit work area for itab
data: itab1 like itab occurs 10. " table is without header line.
The header line is a field string with the same structure as a row of the body, but it can only hold a single row.
It is a buffer used to hold each record before it is added or each record as it is retrieved from the internal table. It is the default work area for the internal table.
kindly reward if found helpful.
cheers,
Hema.

I can download the internal table details successfully to FTP folder using the FTP function modules like(FTP_CONNECT, FTP_COMMAND , FTP_R/3_TO_SERVER and FTP_DISCONNECT). Here my problem is I am unable to download the internation table with some header text.
You can see the format (example) of file to be download.
Here I can successfully download the below details without the header. But I am unable to download with header line. Could you please suggest me.

Create an internal table with the rows of another internal table.

Hi I want to know if posible to create an internal table structure with the rows of another internal table?
ex.
If in i_tab column A has this values: row 1 = first, row 2 = second, row 3 = third.
Now I want that the structure of my internal table be: first, second, third

Hi,
If you do this way then what will be the difference between the two table anyway?? First internal table has the same structure irrespective of which row you select. and you are going to store the data from each row to the rows of the second internal table. In that case, the structure of the internal table is the same as first table. and it would have same rows.
Am I missing something here? or you want to declare the internal table with each field being the structure of the first table? In this case you'd have to do a dynamic declaration of data as the first table can have any no of rows then the second table would have any no of fields in the structure.
Now if you know that your first internal table is going to have a fixed no of rows eg 3 rows then it becomes simple. Do the following then
Data: begin of second_table occurs 0,
first type <first_table type>,
second type <first_table type>,
third type <first_table type>,
end of second_table.
