Dynamic Data: Character Type Declaration

Hello Experts,
I would like to get your feedback regarding declaration of a character type field with dynamic length?
For example, I would like to declare data like: char(size) type c, where size is dynamic.
How can I do this? Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Jerome

Hi,
DATA r_elemdescr TYPE REF TO cl_abap_elemdescr.
r_elemdescr ?= cl_abap_elemdescr=>describe_by_name( 'DATA_ELEMENT_HERE' ).
DATA r_field TYPE REF TO data.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <field> TYPE ANY.
CREATE DATA r_field TYPE HANDLE r_elemdescr.
ASSIGN r_field->* TO <field>.
<field> = .....
now <field> is your dynamic field value
Regards,
Ravi

Dynamic Data Type declaration from Parameter value

Hi,
I have a silly question..
Is it possible to dynamically declare a variable based on the contents of a parameter...like:
Tables: RSDUPD.
Parameter: p_Daty like RSDUPD-DATU
Data: l_last_day like (p_Daty)
Thanks

ok....thanks for the answer but its time to make the question harder.
I have the following code:
DATA: it_query_results TYPE REF TO data.
PARAMETER: prxy_cls(30).
CREATE DATA it_query_results TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF (prxy_cls).
ASSIGN it_query_results->* TO <l_it_query_result>.
....I do all sorts of processing with <l_it_query_result>.....then
CALL METHOD o_query_result->execute_asynchronous
EXPORTING
output = <l_it_query_result>.
only problem is method execute_asynchronous doesnt expect a type ref and only expects table type ZBWCOPA9030V00_QUERY_RESULT1...which is what I am entering in the parameter prxy_cls..
need help badly..
thanks

Unicode - "DMBTR" must be a character-type field (data type C,N,D or T)

Greetings Experts!
I am trying to convert legacy code to Unicode for a current ERP6.0 reinstallation and have encountered the syntax error "DMBTR" must be a character-type field (data type C,N,D or T)
The field is part of a structure and the fields attributes are as follows:
COMPONENT = DMBTR
COMPONENT TYPE = DMBTR
DATA TYPE = CURR
LENGTH = 13
DECIMALS = 2
DESCRIPTION = Amount in Local Currency
The code in question is as follows:-
macro Move_Zoned.
Converts a numeric variable to zoned format and moves it to a
target variable.
DEFINE move_zoned.
     &1 - source variable
     &2 - Number of Decimal Places
     &3 - 'To'
     &4 - Target Variable.
write &1 to w_zoned no-grouping decimals &2.
condense w_zoned.
     Remove the Decimal Points.
search w_zoned for '...'.
while sy-subrc = 0.
    move sy-fdpos to w_to_point.
    if w_to_point = 0.
      w_to_point = 1.
    endif.
    compute w_from_point = sy-fdpos + 1.
    concatenate w_zoned+0(w_to_point)
                w_zoned+w_from_point
           into w_zoned.
    search w_zoned for '...'.
endwhile.
shift w_zoned right deleting trailing space.
translate w_zoned using ' 0'.
call function 'Z_TRANSLATE_ZONED_DECIMALS'
    exporting
      i_input              = w_zoned

describe field w_zoned length w_zoned_len in character mode.
if w_zoned_len <= w_flength.
    move w_zoned to &4.
    shift &4 right deleting trailing space.
    translate &4 using ' 0'.
else.
        Get the start position....
        If it's a packed field allow for values up to 6 figures
    compute w_zoned_len = w_zoned_len - w_flength.
    if w_type = 'P'.
      subtract 2 from w_zoned_len.
      clear w_type.

Is there a solution to get past this syntax error as I would rather not change the datatype of the field in the structure.

In 6.0 get error "END_OF_RECORD" must be a character-type data object .....

Hi All,
following piece of code was working fine in 4.6 C   but in ECC 6.0 I get the following error:
"   "END_OF_RECORD" must be a character-type data object (data type C, N,D, T or STRING) . "

Dynamic data declaration refering to local data defined in another program

Here is the situation:
The standard program SAPICP__ , SAPICF__ and several other of same series have a form routine REPOSITORY_DEVCLASS_ADD. this subroutine in all SAPI* programs has parameter REPOSITORY of type REPOSITORY (declared as internal table with header lines) and type REPOSITORY is declared with different component in each program.
Now the problem is that i need to call subroutine REPOSITORY_DEVCLASS_ADD dynamically from my program and so i want to dynamically declare the table REPOSITORY in my program to pass to this subroutine and as program is not yet loaded into memory i have no way to achieve this.
Can some one help in achieve this?

Hello Fred,
That's a big task, even if it looks "easy". My first idea is, your request can not be covered by dynamic programming. a) every node has a different structure (I guess), b) the code itself has to be adjusted to the nodes in use as well. I.e. when a dynamic data declaration would be possible, the coding has to adhere the used number of nodes.
My recommendation:
- declare as many standard tables (nodes) as possible
- the code for each node has to be implemented
- define the number of used nodes by a parameter or an interface
Have success,

Dynamic Field type declaration in a structure

Hi All,
   How to declare the data element of a field dynamically in the structure i.e, how to define a field type dynamically in the structure?
   Please find below example for better understanding of my query and share your ideas if we have a solution for such requirement.
TYPES: BEGIN OF ts_struc,

PARAMETERS: p_cc RADIOBUTTON GROUP rg1,
            p_us RADIOBUTTON GROUP rg1.
if p_cc eq 'X'.
fld4, fld5, fld6 should be of type WOG0XXX.
elseif p_us eq 'X'.
fld4, fld5, fld6 should be of type WKG0XXX.
endif.

data: dref type ref data.
field-symbols: <fs_str> type WOG0XXX.
CREATE DATA dref TYPE WOG0XXX.

CREATE DATA kunnr TYPE kunnr.
lv_kunnr = '123'.
ASSIGN kunnr->* TO <fs_kunnr>.
move lv_kunnr to <fs_kunnr>.
write: <fs_kunnr>.

How do you save dynamic data type, from the DAQ assistant, for use in Excel or matlab?

Currently, I have the following basic VI setup to save Data from my PCI6221 Data Aquisition Card. The problem I'm having is I keep getting the last iteration of the while loop in the measurement file and that's pretty much it. When I try to index the data leaving the loop it gives me a 2D array of Data which cannot be input into the "Write to Measurement File" VI. How would I save this to a useful Data/time step format? I was wondering of a way to continuously collect the Data and then save it in a large measurement file that I would manipulate in Matlab/excel? Am I using the wrong type of loop for this application? I also noticed my Dynamic Data array consists of data, time, timestep and then a vector of the data taken. Is it possible to just get a vector of the time change per sample alongside the data? Sorry for the barrage of questions but any help would be greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance!

There is a VI in the Express > Signal Manipulation palette called "From DDT" that lets you convert from the Dynamic Data Type to other data types that are more compatible with operations like File I/O....for instance, you could convert your DDT into a 2D array and use the Write To Spreadsheet File.vi. Just a thought...

Function module to convert character type to required data type

Hi,
Is there a function module which can convert data in character type to any other required data type?
Like i have a date 12.2.2008 and it is stored as character now i want to convert it into type d.
so that when i use
Describe field <field_name> type <type>.
statement afterwards then it gives me D not C as its data type.
The requirement does'nt stick to conversion of just one data type.I need an FM which can convert data in character type to any data type.
Hope you understood the problem.
Thanks for your time.

Hi,
Use the code.
data : date like sy-datum.
call function 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL'
exporting
    date_external                  = '01.01.2008'
IMPORTING
   DATE_INTERNAL                  = date
EXCEPTIONS
   DATE_EXTERNAL_IS_INVALID       = 1
   OTHERS                         = 2
if sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
endif.

Create dynamic data type in structure

Hi Experts,
I am new to ABAP.
In my scenario data type is varying for the field. for that I need to create dynamic data type in structure, this structure I am using for internal table for OVS search input.
Please suggest the solution for this.
Advance thanks,
Regards,
BBC

Thanks for your quick reply,
I used your logic like this.
data:
ls_component type abap_componentdescr,
lt_component type abap_component_tab.
*... (1) define structure components :
clear ls_component.
ls_component-name = 'NVALUE'.
ls_component-type ?= cl_abap_typedescr=>describe_by_name( <fs_seg_v>-fieldname ).
insert ls_component into table lt_component.
*... (2) create structure
data lr_strucdescr type ref to cl_abap_structdescr.
data lr_data_struc type ref to data.
lr_strucdescr = cl_abap_structdescr=>create( lt_component ).
create data lr_data_struc type handle lr_strucdescr.
field-symbols <fs> TYPE any.
assign lr_data_struc->* to <fs>.
your logic is working fine.
here I am getting feild name (<fs_seg_v>-fieldname) from internal table.
But I need to assign same field name structure to query parameter.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <ls_query_params> TYPE lty_stru_input.
Please can you suggest how I can refer the field name structure?

Enable "dynamic date calculation" variable type

When saving reporting date/period in a report variant, we may use "dynamic date calculation" to specific date as selection parameter. But the "Dynamic date calculation" is not visible in some ABAP reports - only "Table Variable from TVARVC" type is available for selection.
For those reports that are missing that variable type, how can we enable the "Dynamic date calculation" variable type to be visible?

Hi Paco:
Yes, they are z-reports, both have the same almost everything, created by the same ABAPer, for the same application SD, just grouping the data differently.
It seems a screen (#100?) is missing, In the old version, it's screen 100 where to activate the "D" and "B" variable types. Now it goes to screen 281.

How do I Change the plot waveform colour on a Dynamic Data type Graph?

I have multiple different plots on different graphs, and I want to set the colours of the different waveforms.
In order to display the waveforms on different graphs, I switched to Dynamic data type and then split the wire
according to how many channels I have.
I can set the graph background colour with a property node, and create cursors of different colours no problem
using the array of references that I have created, so there is nothing wrong with my array of references or the property node.
As soon as I try and wire a colour box into the Plot>Plot Colour control, I get error 1055 out of the property node.
I was wondering if it was an error between the keyboard and the chair, but now I am thinking it is someting more sinister.
The Error box pops up and can't be dismissed remaining the focus until I run TASKKILL on LabVIEW and terminate it.
Any ideas on how to achieve my goal would be appreciated.
(LabVIEW 8.6)
Solved!

Hi Sheela,
It's 1 plot per graph, up to 4 graphs displayed on different tabs.
Here are some screenshots

URGENT:data type declaration of container within the method

Hi
My requirement is when the user revceives mail to approve/reject invoice ,the user attaches an attachmnet in the workitem stating the reson for approval/rejection of invoice.The attached attachement should be uploaded to invoice as an attachment.
I have observed that the attachment attached by the user is stored in the container "office_document" and the type of the container is SOFM.
To capture the attachment and send it to invoice i have created new task and new method in ZBUS2081.
i created a container "office_doc_atta" in the workflow .the type of office_doc_atta is SOFM .
in the method as well as task i also declared parameter "office_doc_atta" of type sofm.
to fetch the data from Task to method i have declared following table
data:office_doc_atta type swc_object occurs 0 with header line.
swc_get_table container 'office_doc_atta' office_doc_atta.
I think that data type of "office_doc_atta" decalred within the method
is wrong and i am unable to fetch data from the container.
If anyone know what should be the data type of office_doc_atta within the method and how to fetch data from the task kindly let me know.
Points will be rewarded.

Try using SWOTOBJID instead of SWC_OBJECT.
SWOTOBJID is the data type for a persistent object ID, while SWC_OBJECT is the data type for a runtime object ID (or reference or handle, if you are more familiar with any of those terms).
Normally, an object will be passed by the persistent object ID. As the name reveals, the ID is persistent, i.e. remains the same. Therefore it can be stored in a database, and passed to the next step in a workflow - even if this step is executed by a different person another day.

Please don't use the word urgent in your subject (or in the question for that matter). There are many reasons for this, some of which are:
1) This is not a help desk or service organization, there are no response time guarantees based on how important a problem is for you.
2) Most people visit SDN when time permits.
3) Due to the previous 2 that particular word annoys more than it inspires.
4) It is specifically mentioned in the guidelines that you should not use that word.
5) It is a word with no accuracy. It would be better if you wrote (in the question, not the subject) that you need to solve this within 2 days - then we know your deadline.
6) If I'm in the right mood I will ignore all questions marked as urgent for at least one day. Just for the heck of it.
