type-pools: slis.
field-symbols: <dyn_table> type standard table,
               <dyn_wa>,
               <dyn_field>.
data: alv_fldcat type slis_t_fieldcat_alv,
      it_fldcat type lvc_t_fcat.
type-pools : abap.
data : it_details type abap_compdescr_tab,
       wa_details type abap_compdescr.

      new_line  type ref to data,
      wa_it_fldcat type lvc_s_fcat.

selection-screen end of block b1.
* Get the structure of the table.
ref_descr ?= cl_abap_typedescr=>describe_by_name( p_table ).
it_details[] = ref_descr->components[].
loop at it_details into wa_details.
  clear wa_it_fldcat.

  wa_it_fldcat-datatype = wa_details-type_kind.
  wa_it_fldcat-inttype = wa_details-type_kind.
  wa_it_fldcat-intlen = wa_details-length.
  wa_it_fldcat-decimals = wa_details-decimals.
  append wa_it_fldcat to it_fldcat .
endloop.

assign new_table->* to <dyn_table>.
* Create dynamic work area and assign to FS
create data new_line like line of <dyn_table>.
assign new_line->* to <dyn_wa>.
* Select Data from table.
select * into corresponding fields of table <dyn_table>
           from (p_table).
* Write out data from table.
loop at <dyn_table> into <dyn_wa>.
  do.
    assign component  sy-index  of structure <dyn_wa> to <dyn_field>.
    if sy-subrc <> 0.
      exit.
    endif.
    if sy-index = 1.
      write:/ <dyn_field>.
    else.
      write: <dyn_field>.
    endif.
  enddo.
endloop.
