Calling same form multiple times

Question

Hi, i need to call a single form with different table names as parameters depending on conditions.
for eg here is the approach
if flag1_is_set
  call form1 multiple times with table1, table2....... as parameters
"and i can avoid this
"  form 1 using table 1
"  form 1 using table 2
"  form 1 using table 3
"  form 1 using table 4
"  form 1 using table 5
elseif
  flag2_is_set
    form 1 using table 2
elseif
  flag3_is_set
   form 1 using table 3.
but i cannot call forms like this. can someone suggest
an equivalent implementation on how to do this.
if i dont implement in the above mentioned approach i have to code the same thing with minor changes multiple times
thanks.
your help would be appreciated.

You might try passing a field symbol (itab) in the tables.
And assign the filed symbol with your itab as per the condition.
Check if the program below gives you any idea.
REPORT  Z_RAM_DYN_TAB_IN_FORM.
PARAMETERS : P_TAB1 TYPE C.
DATA: lt_users2 type standard table of usr02.
DATA: lt_users1 type standard table of usr01.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_itab> type standard table.
SELECT * into table lt_users1 FROM usr01.
SELECT * into table lt_users2 FROM usr02.
IF P_TAB1 eq 'X'.
   ASSIGN lt_users1 to <fs_itab>.
ELSE.
   ASSIGN lt_users2 to <fs_itab>.
ENDIF.
PERFORM test_form TABLES <fs_itab>.
FORM test_form TABLES x_itab .
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_wa> type any.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_field> type any.
  LOOP AT x_itab ASSIGNING <fs_wa>.
    DO 5 times.     "Write first 5 fields of itabs.
      ASSIGN COMPONENT sy-index OF STRUCTURE <fs_wa> to <fs_field>.
      WRITE :  <fs_field>.
    ENDDO.
    WRITE :/.
  ENDLOOP.
