Calling WD within a report

Question

Hi,
I have a made a report that shows data in ALV and that is fine as it is.
However, I now want to enhance the report with an option to show the data in a WD View.
I would like to make it optional to the user; either they use the ALV Grid output or they show the data in WD.
How can I use the data from my report in a WD and view it afterwards ? Is it possible ?

Hi,
I have the same exact requirement and I adopted this method.
First, you will need to EXPORT the final ITAB to the memory in your custom report.
    EXPORT t_data[] TO MEMORY ID sy-uname.
Lastly, SUBMIT the report and IMPORT the ITAB[] in your WDPA. Don't forget to bind the ITAB[] to your CONTEXT.
      wd_assist->m_submit_report(
        EXPORTING
          iv_cprog     = 'YP40_ZRHRHE08A'
          iv_param     = 'X'
          iv_begda     = iv_begda
          iv_endda     = iv_endda
          it_pernr     = it_pernr
          it_bukrs     = it_bukrs
          it_stat2     = it_stat2
          it_werks     = it_werks
          it_btrtl     = it_btrtl
          it_persg     = it_persg
          it_persk     = it_persk
          it_abkrs     = it_abkrs
        CHANGING
          et_table_t   = et_table_t ).
      lo_nd_table = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_table ).
      lo_nd_table->bind_table( et_table_t ).
I won't say this is the best way of doing it but at least this works for me flawlessly.
Hope this helps.
