Accessing internal table declared outside of BAdI implementation

I am working on a BAdI implementation and within the BAdI, I need to manipulate the data of an internal table that is declared in the calling routine. This internal table is not a parameter to the BAdI call. I am wondering is there a way to access the internal table that is not recognized by the BAdI implementation? If so, what's the syntax to do this?
I know in debug mode, I am able to access the content of the internal table by using (Program)Itab. But I get a syntax error when accessing the internal table using (Program)Itab syntax.
Any help is appreciated!

Thanks, Max.
I tried your method, but I am getting a short dump due to type conflict. I think it's because the internal table I'd like to access is declared using the following syntax:
data: begin of itab occurs 0,
end of itab.
Therefore, when processing the assign statement, the field-symbol is being treated as a structure...
I tried to change the field-symbol type to any, but after that, I can't modify the table content using loop at type of syntax..
Do you have any other suggestions?
Thanks very much!

Accessing internal tables at runtime.

Hi all,
I am writing a code where in i have to transfer data from excel to database table.
Iam getting the excel data in an itab. Can anybody help me with how to access internal tables at runtime ?
i am using the following code with sy-tabix. here, when the sy-tabix is odd it picks up the value,
but i want that within the same loop when i increment sy-tabix by 1, then it should fetch the second column of same row. But its not working as it shows an error that it does not permit subfield access.
the code is as follows:
LOOP AT t_tab[] into wa_tab .
data: l_tabix type sy-tabix,
        name_index type sy-tabix.
        data: c type i.
        l_tabix = sy-tabix.
        name_index = l_tabix+1.
        c = ( l_tabix mod 2 ).
******to check if sy-tabix is odd**********
       if c ne 0.
         READ TABLE t_tab into wa_tab index l_tabix.
         wa_product1-product = wa_tab-VALUE.
************incrementing sy-tabix*************
         READ TABLE t_tab into wa_tab index name_index. (here it shows error)
         wa_product1-product_name = wa_tab-value.
       endif.
endloop.
Thanks in advance.

How to access internal table data from webdynpro to Flex application.

Hi Connoisseur
The data transfer from Abap WebDeypro to flex island works well. I followed , there is an example from Thomas Jung (by the way as always Great Work) and Karthikeyan Venkatesan (Infosys) but this example covers simple type only.
There is no example with complex types like arrayCollection which handle the transfer of data from flex to WebDynpro.
i tried to do pass internal table value to flex-datagrid.but its not work.
i would like to know
1.how to access internal table data from webdynpro to Flex application.
2.how to pass the internal table to flex-datagrid.
2.how to pass dynamically in ADOBE flex.
3. how to do Flex is receiving the wd context data?
4. how can we update WD context with FLEX data.
Ple give me sample example and step by step procedure.

Internal table declaration - work area and body

Hi all
I have declared my internal table in my program as
data : itab_wa type ZRESULT_LINE,
       itab    type ZRESULT_ROW.
Where ZRESULT_LINE and ZRESULT_ROW are the structure and table types.
Now I want to add

How to access internal table

Hi Experts,
I have moved values from node with attributes in context to an internal table using
node_output_4->GET_STATIC_ATTRIBUTES_TABLE(
importing
table = itab
Now the neccessary values are in itab (internal table).I want to check the itab-id with item_code(user input).
I want to access the itab.Plz guide me.

Hi Ramanan,
With header line statement is not avilable in OO concepts.
So you can use the Node of the context.
If you are read your node means it will automatically generate the code.
In the code it will automatically declares the wa for your context.
generally it looks like,
DATA:
      node_znode2                         TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node,
      elem_znode2                         TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element,
      stru_znode2                         TYPE if_view1=>element_znode2 .
From the above code stru_znode2 is the WA.
Then you can define your own Itab based on this structure.
DATA : itab like table of stru_znode2.
Thanks.

TSV_TNEW_PAGE_ALLOC_FAILED with internal table declared with occurs 0

HI guys,
when the internal table is declared as occurs 0, the dump TSV_TNEW_PAGE_ALLOC_FAILED is encountered, when changing the declaration into standard table, th dump disappears. Why is this so?
Thanks!

There are three type of tables: Standard, sorted and hashed tables (see [here|http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_70/en/ABAPDATA_ITAB.htm]). When you define a table using the keyword OCCURS you're still defining a standard table.
Your exception indicates that you're running out of memory. The difference in the declarations that you mention shouldn't cause that. Main difference between the two declaration versions is probably that your table defined via OCCURS has a header line, whereas your other table doesn't (unless you declared it explicitly as WITH HEADER LINE).
I don't think though that with that little information anybody could explain the short dump. Actually it sounds rather odd that the change you mention should cause the dump (or make it go away). So I suspect you probably have to post further details. You might want to check the shortdump yourself and place a breakpoint at this place and run it for each version. Maybe you can see some difference...

Accessing internal table of main program inside function module...

I have function module say ZFUNC and main program say ZMAIN and internal table defined as IT_TAB inside ZMAIN but not passed as parameter to Function module ZFUNC.
If I want to access the field value of IT_TAB of main program ZMAIN inside ZFUNC during debugging then, I simply put <b>(ZMAIN)IT_TAB-amount</b> in ABAP debugger and then change it when the debugger is inside ZFUNC.
How can I write code to change the value of internal table of main program in function module ZFUNC instead of doing in debugger ? I guess I have to use some field symbols, but not sure. Please suggest.
Regards,
Rajesh.

Yes, you do need to use a field symbol. Say for example, you had a internal table called IMARC in your program and you want to access it later in a funciton module, you would do something like this.
data: xmarc type marc.
field-symbols: <imarc> type marc_upl_tt.
* Assign an internal table
field = '(ZPROGRAM_NAME)IMARC[]'.
assign (field) to <imarc>.
loop at <imarc> into xmarc.
write: / xmarc-matnr, xmarc-werks.
endloop.

include structure ty_transacciones_gs.
data: end of t_simples.
I have got a verification error.

Accessing internal table ACCIT

Hi Experts,
I am currently working on a substitution exit to substitute cost center in FI line item.
The problem is that the data will only be available when the document is completed, so I put the substitution in complete document level.
Does anyone know whether it is still possible to perform substitution at this level? Since it is necessary for us to perform this substitution.
Many thanks for your kind reply,
Fandi.

A few added information,
My colleague told me that it is possible to do this, but the substitution must be performed to internal table ACCIT which is the accounting posting interface internal table.
How can this be done? As the structure is not recognized in the substitution.
Thanks,
Fandi.

Problem in declaring internal table

hai experts ,
i am new to web dynpro abap .. my problem is i want to declare a internal table for a table using the web dynpro code wizard .. i found many threads regarding that .. but for mee its not working .. many of them posted that get_static_attributes_table method will solve the problem .. but i used the method in the wizard but it saying that method does not exist ..pls solve the problem ..
say where to enter the method in the wizard ..
thanks & kind regards
chinnaiya

Hi Chinnaiya,
Your post isnt that clear as to what you intend to do. Do you intend to just create an internal table declaration which would be able to hold your context nodes data or do you wish to use the get_static_attributes method to fetch all your tables data into this internal table?
If you want to just declare an internal table which can hold the data then you would have to do it manually. You can't generate your internal table declaration using the code wizard. Suppose your context nodes name is SFLIGHT then you can use the below syntax to declare a table & work area respectively.
DATA: lt_sflight TYPE wd_this->elements_sflight, " Internal table
wa_sflight TYPE wd_this->element_sflight. " Work area
For each node <node> of a controller context, a structure type element_<node> is implicitly generated in the interface IF_<ctrl>. The structure fields correspond to the attributes a node element consists of. Similarly for each node <node> of a controller context, a standard table type elements_<node> is implicitly generated in the interface IF_<ctrl>. The line type of this table is element_<node>. This constant can be used to
type an internal table that can hold the attributes of multiple node elements. So as how said here you can even declare the work area and internal table like shown below in your MAIN view:
DATA: lt_sflight TYPE if_main=>elements_sflight, " internal table
wa_sflight TYPE if_main=>element_sflight. " work area
But the disadvantage of this approach as how pointed out by Thomas in 1 of this earlier threads is that this coding works fine only for this particular view. If you copy the same code and try to use it in another view say VIEW1 then it wouldn't work as the interface name would have changed from if_main to if_view1. So its suggested to use the earlier approach.

Uday

Internal table in user exit

Hi,
I am using user exit "MV45AFZZ" - Sales order, I have declaired one internal table in userexit_save_document_prepare and storing some data in it.
FORM userexit_save_document_prepare.
ENDFORM.
I wish to use the data from internal table declared in userexit_save_document_prepare in
FORM userexit_save_document.
ENDFORM.
Should i declare the internal table at some other place so that it can be accessed from other user exits.

Hi Ganesh,
You are asking if your internal table can be declared globally. I don't believe there is an area (an include program for example) in SAPMV45A that allows customers to declare their own global data. This would of course be the most straight-forward solution, but if we don't have this option, you can always do something like this:
FORM userexit_save_document_prepare.
EXPORT my_itab TO MEMORY ID 'CUST_MEMORY'.
ENDFORM.
And then this:
FORM userexit_save_document.
IMPORT my_itab FORM MEMORY ID 'CUST_MEMORY'.
ENDFORM.

Jamie
