Appending internal table which is referenced by field-symbol

Hi,
I have a selection screen field called SP$00005 which is not known until runtime as the field is selected in Adhoc Query (SAP Query) by the user.
In the customer exit I am attempting to write code to default in a range to this field - it is a date field and I want to enter the range 01.04.2007 - 30.04.2007.
As select-options require the appending of the screen field table SP$00005 I need a way of adding an entry to this table.
Please see my latest attempt below which appends the correct value to the field symbol <startdate> but this entry does not appear in the internal table SP$00005 when stepping through at runtime.
Can anyone suggest a possible solution?
Thanks,
Alan

Hi,
I tried the following which appends <startdate> with the new entry but the underlying referenced table SP$00005 is still not updated.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Alan

Internal table containing any number of fields.

Hi all ,
I had a requirement where in i have to create a generalised Function module for downloading the excel sheet to presentation server with some non editable fields.
Here i need to pass an internal table contaning different fields each time with different data in it to be saved in the excel sheet in the presentation server.
But iam unable to understand how to declare the import parameter i.e. an internal table which can accept different data whenever it is called and display the same in the output.
Please help me with the fields in the internal table and the corresponding types in the internal table.
Thanks in advance,
Venu.

Hi ,
Thanks for ur reply,
but still i have one problem i.e. since i can get any field as input how to know the type of it ?
I need to display the contents of the table in the output excel sheet so i actually need to know its type and the corresponding column name as heading in the output excel sheet.
Thanks in advance,
Venu.

maybe you should clarify your problem a bit more by pasting some code and try to explain it a bit more in detail.

Which internal table is storing MSEG-ZEILE field in bapi BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREA

Dear Sap Gurus,
I am facing one problem . i am using standard bapi for migo transaction i.e. BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE . it is working fine. Now i want to modify this bapi for some of our own developed fileds that is stored in another table say ZMSEG . i have found all fields in bapi of table mseg and put those fileds in our developed table zmseg but i am unable to find one field MSEG- ZEILE . Plz guide me from which internal table this filed MSEG-ZEILE is coming . The appropriate answers will be highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Amit Ranjan

Hi
U can't find out the field ZEILE in BAPI field, just as somebody said you before, that field will be automatically calculated before saving the document.
So u can calculate it by yourself for your table ZMSEG
Anyway it doesn't make sense to change the BAPI in order to store the data in own z-table, there is an exit to do it:
EXIT_SAPLMBMB_001
Why don't you use it?

Runtime error in Dynamic internal table with AMOUNT and Quantity Fields..

Dear friends,
I am attempting write a dymanic Select Statement (with joins).
And the sleect query looks like this..
SELECT (LT_SEL_LIST)
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF

WHERE (LT_WHERE3).
Here the into table is a dynamically created internal table..
which is created by ...this

the it_output2 contains the the fieldcatlog information of dynamically given fields :-
like:-

       LENG
       INTTYPE
       ROLLNAME
       DECIMALS
       REFTABLE
       REFFIELD
i mean the internal table is constructed with reference to all the bove metadata.
Problem:- This query run fine with all the fields Except AMOUNT AND QUANTITY fields....
When the selection list contain VBAK-NETWR or MSEG-MENGE..It throws a runtime error.
"The data read during a SLECT access couldnt be inserted into the target field,either conversion is not supported for
the target field's type or the target field is too short."
after this I even tried to construct the dynamic table with CFILEDNAME and QFIELDNAME in the Fieldcatalog.
so now my fieldcatlog looks like this:---

Sort the internal table based on the vendor field

hello experts,
I am stuck with a small problem...
I am uploading the data for partner association for vendors through lsmw BI program.
I am collecting all the records in the end of trasaction and downloading all those records on to the apps server.
I declared one internal table as
TYPES: BEGIN OF type_erecord,
        mesg(1000) TYPE c,
        END OF type_erecord.
DATA: t_precord type standard table of type_erecord initial size 0,
            w_precord type type_erecord.
I am concatenating all the fields and moving to the internal table..
concatenate zvendor_master-source zvendor_master-lifnr blf00-lifnr
                  zvendor_master-lname    zvendor_master-parvw
                  zvendor_master-psource zvendor_master-pname
                  zvendor_master-lifn2        bwyt3-lifn2
                  zvendor_master-ekorg      zvendor_master-werks

                  v_message
      into w_precord-mesg separated by c_pipe.
      append w_precord to t_precord.
now at the end I have to sort this internal table t_precord based on blf00-lifnr
can any one guide me how to do it
Thanks for your anticipation
Nitesha

OK...
Than you can create one more table and do the process of sorting and than put data into the final table.
TYPES: BEGIN OF type_erecord,
mesg(1000) TYPE c,
END OF type_erecord.
DATA: t_precord type standard table of type_erecord initial size 0,
w_precord type type_erecord.
TYPES: BEGIN OF type_erecord_1,
mesg(1000) TYPE c,
lifnr type blf00-lifnr , "<<<
END OF type_erecord_1.
DATA: t_precord_1 type standard table of type_erecord initial size 0,
w_precord_1 type type_erecord.
I am concatenating all the fields and moving to the internal table..
concatenate zvendor_master-source zvendor_master-lifnr blf00-lifnr
zvendor_master-lname zvendor_master-parvw
zvendor_master-psource zvendor_master-pname
zvendor_master-lifn2 bwyt3-lifn2
zvendor_master-ekorg zvendor_master-werks
w_PLANT-muplant zvendor_master-defpa
v_message
into w_precord_1-mesg separated by c_pipe.
w_precord_1-lifnr = blf00-lifnr . " <<<
append w_precord_1 to t_precord_1.   " <<<
SORT T_PRECORD_1 by LIFNR. " <<
LOOP AT T_PRECORD_1 into w_precord_1.
move-corresponing w_precord_1 to w_precord.
append w_precord to T_PRECORD.
clear w_precord .
endloop.

Differences between Internal table with Occurs 0 and Field-Groups?

Is there really any difference between just using an internal table with an OCCURS 0 statement-- which would write the entire table to paging space-- and using field-groups? How is Field-Groups is more effective than Internal tables with occurs 0 when it comes to performance?
Could anybody please give some information regarding above question?
Thanks,
Surya.

hi,
occurs 0 means it wont create any extra memory. based on the records only the memory is allocated to internal tables at run time. but when an internal table is created it can hold data of type to which it is declared.
i.e data: itab like mara occurs 0 with header line.
can take data only from mara table
we can also do in another way as using types keyword we can declare a standard structure and create a internal table of that type. its also not that useful as we have to change the structure depending on changes for storing data.
for this purpose field symbols are used. field symbols can hold any data means that they can point to tables, fields, any standard or user-defined types. field symbols actually points to respective types by which we can directly access to that types using field symbols.
filed symbols works more faster than internal tables.
if helpful reward some points.

How to define an internal table which have to be dynamic

Hallo,
here's a problem that i have to solve (but how ?).
I defined an internal Table with 2 columns:
col1: tablename
col2: fieldname
This table is filled with an unknown number of datasets like this:
dataset1: A001 KAPPL
dataset2: A001 KNUMH
dataset3: A903 KUNNR and so on.
I don't know which tablenames and fieldnames are contained.
Now i have to read those fields (e.g. KAPPL) from those tables (e.g. A001) into an internal table.
But i don't know how to define this internal table.
Could anyone help me please ?
Thanks a lot.

Hi Wirth
DATA:
w_tabname TYPE w_tabname,
w_dref TYPE REF TO data,
table_name TYPE tadir-obj_name.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <t_itab> TYPE ANY TABLE.
READ YOUR INTERNAL TABLE (DATA SET) AND GET THE TABLE NAME,
AND PASS IT TO W_TABNAME.
w_tabname = A001.
CREATE DATA w_dref TYPE TABLE OF (w_tabname).
ASSIGN w_dref->* TO <t_itab>.
Now use <t_itab> as your internal table to fetch data .
<t_itab> will have the structure of A001.
SELECT *
FROM (w_tabname) UP TO 10 ROWS
INTO TABLE <t_itab>.

Modify the structure of internal table which created dynamically!!!

HI All,
I am creating internal table dynamically using the below syntax. Now I need to remove few of the fields from the internal table structure. Could you please help me how to go ahead in these cases?
* Create table dynamically for local data
CREATE DATA gv_table_l TYPE TABLE OF (<fs_tabname>).
CREATE DATA gv_wa_l    TYPE (<fs_tabname>).
ASSIGN gv_table_l->*   TO <fs_local_tab>.
ASSIGN gv_wa_l->*      TO <fs_local_wa
>.
Please let me know if you have any thoughts.
Thanks,
Raghu.

Hi ,
check this wiki
[Internal Table|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/Howtocreateinternaltable+dynamically]
in your case ...
1.Get filed list based on the type ...make use of "cl_abap_datadescr=>describe_by_type('MARA'), check for syntax or sample programs...
2.Delete fields which you dont want to be in your internal table....
3.Create internal table using method " CL_ALV_TABLE_CREATE=>CREATE_DYNAMIC_TABLE" ref attached link for sample code by Pinaki...

Extract datasets?? Internal Tables??.. & Field Groups??..

Hello Dear ABAP Ace's,
Please let me know if what are differences between Extract datasets, Internal Tables, & Field Groups????? And what are the similarities?? Also let me know the uses of extract datasets & Field groups???
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
Farooq

Hi,
There are two ways of processing large quantities of data in ABAP - either using internal tables or extract datasets.
An internal table is a dynamic sequential dataset in which all records have the same structure and a key. They are part of the ABAP type concept. You can access individual records in an internal table using either the index or the key.
Extracts are dynamic sequential datasets in which different lines can have different structures. Each ABAP program may currently only have a single extract dataset. You cannot access the individual records in an extract using key or index. Instead, you always process them using a loop.

Comapare internal tables which are in tree format

Hi guys,
Consider internal table
     level | material-no.|quantity
      1 | mat-1 |              10
      2 |             mat-5 |             1
      3            |   mat-2    |           1
      3   |   mat-4 |      12
      2    | mat-12      | 11
      3    | mat-15      | 12
................................>mat1 ends here..it contains mat5 and mat 12 which in turn contain
.......................mat2 & 4 and mat 15 respectively.
      1    | mat-8     |    1
      2    | mat-6     |     3
      2    | mat-100    |    5
......................................>mat 8 ends here
      1 |    mat -6    |    13
.......................................>mat 6 ends here
This data is in one internal table, here there are 3 main materials (1,8,6) which are in-turn made of other materials.
material at level 1 is made of materials at level 2
and in-turn materials at level2 are made up of materials at level3 .
Now same material can exist at different levels ...
What would be the efficient way to compare two such internal tables and comparisons are done wrt quantity but level and hierarchy at which material exits matters and
comparison shuld be done at each level .
if both materials are in same hierarchy in both tables but diff in quantity then they are unequal .
if both materials are in same hierarchy in both tables and equal in quantity then they are equal .
if that material exist in one but doesnot exist in other table in similar hierarchy then its rendered as
not found.
many thanks in advance.

Hi Anurag,
Thanks for the reply but the number of levels is not always 3(it completely depends on data) .I came up with one solution --what I have done is , created one more column <b>HPATH</b> in the internal table and kept hierarchy relationship ..i.e
level| material| qty | HPATH(hierarchy path)
1 | mat-1 | 10 | mat-1
2 | mat-5 | 1 | mat-1 2 mat-5
3 | mat-2 | 1 | mat-1 2 mat-5 3 mat-2
3 | mat-4 | 12 | mat-1 2 mat-5 3 mat-4
2 | mat-12 | 11 | mat-1 2 mat-12
3 | mat-15 | 12 | mat-1 2 mat-12 3 mat-15
1 | mat-8 | 1 | mat-8
2 | mat-6 | 3 | mat-8 2 mat-6
2 | mat-100 | 5 | mat-8 2 mat-100
2 and 3 are the path seperates..which indicate the level..
Thus I get key as unique for each material depending on its position in heirarchy ..
Then I looped wrt one table and read data form other table with HPATH as key and compared it .
This solved it...
The number of levels doesnot matter in this solution...
Thanks once again for replying to my post. I would be to happy to put up the code if u want..
