Help needed XML to Internal table and vice versa

Hello frnds, I need to convert Internal table to XML and Vice versa.
Now I am able to most of the part except for this...
the xml which I have to generate looks something like this...
- <trade_dt>
- <![CDATA[ 20111108000000:20111108235959
]]>
</trade_dt>
its a range I think
And then the reponse which I get back the XML is like
- <lockinfo>
- <![CDATA[
TRD_HEADER 1045 1 2
ACT_CASHFLOW 1042 1
TRD_TERM 1045 2
]]>
</lockinfo>
Is there any provision in class cl_ixml or class if_ixml_element to handle this part.....
Edited by: Amit Sawant on Dec 28, 2011 3:51 PM

Hello Amit,
I would suggest you, to use the XSL-Transformations, which can be inbound used in ABAP.
For example:
DATA:
l_xml TYPE string,
lt_flights TYPE TABLE OF SFLIGHT.
SELECT * FROM SFLIGHT INTO TABLE LT_FLIGHT.
CALL TRANSFORMATION id
SOURCE DATA = lt_flights
RESULT XML l_xml.
Now, you have a XML-String which is in the ABAP-XML Notation, which means, that ABAP can move this XML-Data back into an internal table/structure.
For the backward, you have to use the following statement:
CALL TRANSFORMATION id
SOURCE XML l_xml
RESULT DATA = lt_flights.
As you will see, it is very easy. The Transformation "id" is just one example and build in. When you have to transform the data, or do not want to have the ASX-Notation in it, you should at least define your own transformations with the transaction XSLT_TOOL and use it similar to the transformation "id".
Kind Regards,
Hendrik

Upload XML to internal table and vice versa in SAP 4.6C

Hi,
 Happy New Year to you all!
 We are using 46C and I am beginning to learn about XML. We have a requirement to (1) upload an XML file into an internal table as well as (2) create an XML file from an internal table.
 I read some of the posted messages about this but they didn't seem to be applicable in 46C (I could be wrong).
 Could someone please help me using the sample file below?

How to transfer texts from text control to table and vice versa

Hi
if anybody can give me link or any code giving how to transfer text from text control to table and vice versa, that will be of great help to me
THanks in advance

Rashmi,
Use the methods GET_TEXT_AS_R3TABLE / SET_TEXT_AS_R3TABLE and then you will have to use the SAVE_TEXT to store in the database.
The GET_TEXT_AS_R3TABLE method will give you back a internal in which text, in which text on the screen is existing. Similarly once you fetch the data from database using READ_TEXT, use the method SET_TEXT_AS_R3TABLE to put the text on the screen.
These methods belong to class CL_GUI_TEXTEDIT class.

You don't. But I don't recall suggesting that you not use

how you would go about building your site without learning

Create XML file from internal table and vise a versa

Hi Friends,
I have requirement to create an XML string from internal table data and also read XML string data to internal table.
Can anybody tell are there any Function Modules or methods existing for this?
Thanks.
Krishna Yerram.

1. Write XSLT program. T.code XSLT . e.g. XSLT name "ZTRANS".
2. Write ABAP program
Which includes declaration of internal tables
that you need "IT_DATA".
Upload XML data to an internal table "IT_XML "
use below statement to convert XML to internal table.
Call transformation ZTRANS
source XML IT_XML
result IT_DATA.

ALV - need to sum values of internal table and display in ALV

I have data in internal table as:
Material date sum1 sum2
Mat_A 19990101 4 4
Mat_A 20080501 3 0
Mat_A 20080601 2 0
Mat_B 19990101 2 0
Mat_B 20080601 5 5
Required output is :
Material qty1 qty2 19990101 20080501 20080601
Mat_A 432 4 4 3 2
Mat_B 2+5 5 2 5
Thinking of using ALV to pass the internal table and display as classical report (and also to save as excel spreadsheet).
Counting your help on the following questions:
1) How to accomplish the sum in ALV report? Can ALV FM do that or one has to use ABAP to compute the sum from the given internal table?
2) Mat_A can have more date values. Here it got 3 distinct date values 19990101, 20080601, 20080501. If it has say 5 date values, how to create the ALV date columns (from 3 to 5 date columns) dynamically?
Thanks for the help.

Internal table and work area

Hi,
can anybody explain the concepts of Internal table and work area.Thanks in advance.

hai,
This may help u.
WORKAREA is a structure that can hold only one record at a time. It is a collection of fields. We use workarea as we cannot directly read from a table. In order to interact with a table we need workarea. When a Select Statement is executed on a table then the first record is read and put into the header of the table and from there put into the header or the workarea(of the same structure as that of the table)of the internal table and then transferred top the body of the internal table or directly displayed from the workarea.
Each row in a table is a record and each column is a field.
While adding or retrieving records to / from internal table we have to keep the record temporarily.
The area where this record is kept is called as work area for the internal table. The area must have the same structure as that of internal table. An internal table consists of a body and an optional header line.
Header line is a implicit work area for the internal table. It depends on how the internal table is declared that the itab will have the header line or not.
e.g.
data: begin of itab occurs 10,
ab type c,
cd type i,
end of itab. " this table will have the header line.
data: wa_itab like itab. " explicit work area for itab
data: itab1 like itab occurs 10. " table is without header line.
Internal tables are used for storing records which are obtained as a result when we use select statement on database. internal tables are run time entities and doesn't occupy any memory. they are dynamic.
internal tables are of types.
1. internal tables with header line. [header and body]
2. internal tables with out header line. [only body]
Workarea is the concept which is mainly useful when working with internal tables with out header line.
at any point of time we can access only one record through header of a internal table. every thing should be done [inserting,modifying, reading ] through header only.
ex: data: itab like standard table of mara with header line.
for internal tables with out header line we will create a work area [explicit header] as type of table for storing data into internal table.
ex: data: itab like mara,
wa like mara.
more about internal table types:
Standard table:
The key access to a standard table uses a sequential search. The time required for an access is linearly dependent on the number of entries in the internal table.
You should usually access a standard table with index operations.
Sorted table:
The table is always stored internally sorted by its key. Key access to a sorted table can therefore use a binary search. If the key is not unique, the entry with the lowest index is accessed. The time required for an access is logarithmically dependent on the number of entries in the internal table.
Index accesses to sorted tables are also allowed. You should usually access a sorted table using its key.
Hash table:
The table is internally managed with a hash procedure. All the entries must have a unique key. The time required for a key access is constant, that is it does not depend on the number of entries in the internal table.
You cannot access a hash table with an index. Accesses must use generic key operations (SORT, LOOP, etc.).
Hashed tables
This is the most appropriate type for any table where the main operation is key access. You cannot access a hashed table using its index.
The response time for key access remains constant, regardless of the number of table entries. Like database tables, hashed tables always
have a unique key. Hashed tables are useful if you want to construct and use an internal table which resembles a database table or for
processing large amounts of data.
TYPES VECTOR TYPE HASHED TABLE OF I WITH UNIQUE KEY TABLE LINE.
TYPES: BEGIN OF LINE,
COLUMN1 TYPE I,
COLUMN2 TYPE I,
COLUMN3 TYPE I,
END OF LINE.
DATA ITAB TYPE HASHED TABLE OF SPFLI

Need information about Internal Tables

Hi Every one!
I Need some information about Internal tables. Pls help be above the same.
Thanks & with Regards,
Chandra.

Hi..,

Internal tables 
Internal tables provide a means of taking data from a fixed structure and storing it in working memory in ABAP. The data is stored line by line in memory, and each line has the same structure. In ABAP, internal tables fulfill the function of arrays. Since they are dynamic data objects, they save the programmer the task of dynamic memory management in his or her programs. You should use internal tables whenever you want to process a dataset with a fixed structure within a program. A particularly important use for internal tables is for storing and formatting data from a database table within a program. They are also a good way of including very complicated data structures in an ABAP program.
Like all elements in the ABAP type concept, internal tables can exist both as data types and as data objects A data type is the abstract description of an internal table, either in a program or centrally in the ABAP Dictionary, that you use to create a concrete data object. The data type is also an attribute of an existing data object.
Internal Tables as Data Types
Internal tables and structures are the two structured data types in ABAP. The data type of an internal table is fully specified by its line type, key, and table type.
Line type
The line type of an internal table can be any data type. The data type of an internal table is normally a structure. Each component of the structure is a column in the internal table. However, the line type may also be elementary or another internal table.
Key
The key identifies table rows. There are two kinds of key for internal tables - the standard key and a user-defined key. You can specify whether the key should be UNIQUE or NON-UNIQUE. Internal tables with a unique key cannot contain duplicate entries. The uniqueness depends on the table access method.
If a table has a structured line type, its default key consists of all of its non-numerical columns that are not references or themselves internal tables. If a table has an elementary line type, the default key is the entire line. The default key of an internal table whose line type is an internal table, the default key is empty.
The user-defined key can contain any columns of the internal table that are not references or themselves internal tables. Internal tables with a user-defined key are called key tables. When you define the key, the sequence of the key fields is significant. You should remember this, for example, if you intend to sort the table according to the key.

Table type
The table type determines how ABAP will access individual table entries. Internal tables can be divided into three types:
Standard tables have an internal linear index. From a particular size upwards, the indexes of internal tables are administered as trees. In this case, the index administration overhead increases in logarithmic and not linear relation to the number of lines. The system can access records either by using the table index or the key. The response time for key access is proportional to the number of entries in the table. The key of a standard table is always non-unique. You cannot specify a unique key. This means that standard tables can always be filled very quickly, since the system does not have to check whether there are already existing entries.

Sorted tables are always saved sorted by the key. They also have an internal index. The system can access records either by using the table index or the key. The response time for key access is logarithmically proportional to the number of table entries, since the system uses a binary search. The key of a sorted table can be either unique or non-unique. When you define the table, you must specify whether the key is to be unique or not. Standard tables and sorted tables are known generically as index tables.

Hashed tables have no linear index. You can only access a hashed table using its key. The response time is independent of the number of table entries, and is constant, since the system access the table entries using a hash algorithm. The key of a hashed table must be unique. When you define the table, you must specify the key as UNIQUE.

Generic Internal Tables
Unlike other local data types in programs, you do not have to specify the data type of an internal table fully. Instead, you can specify a generic construction, that is, the key or key and line type of an internal table data type may remain unspecified. You can use generic internal tables to specify the types of field symbols and the interface parameters of procedures . You cannot use them to declare data objects.
Internal Tables as Dynamic Data Objects
Data objects that are defined either with the data type of an internal table, or directly as an internal table, are always fully defined in respect of their line type, key and access method. However, the number of lines is not fixed. Thus internal tables are dynamic data objects, since they can contain any number of lines of a particular type. The only restriction on the number of lines an internal table may contain are the limits of your system installation. The maximum memory that can be occupied by an internal table (including its internal administration) is 2 gigabytes. A more realistic figure is up to 500 megabytes. An additional restriction for hashed tables is that they may not contain more than 2 million entries. The line types of internal tables can be any ABAP data types - elementary, structured, or internal tables. The individual lines of an internal table are called table lines or table entries. Each component of a structured line is called a column in the internal table.

Choosing a Table Type
The table type (and particularly the access method) that you will use depends on how the typical internal table operations will be most frequently executed.

Standard tables
This is the most appropriate type if you are going to address the individual table entries using the index. Index access is the quickest possible access. You should fill a standard table by appending lines (ABAP APPEND statement), and read, modify and delete entries by specifying the index (INDEX option with the relevant ABAP command). The access time for a standard table increases in a linear relationship with the number of table entries. If you need key access, standard tables are particularly useful if you can fill and process the table in separate steps. For example, you could fill the table by appending entries, and then sort it. If you use the binary search option with key access, the response time is logarithmically proportional to the number of table entries.
Sorted tables
This is the most appropriate type if you need a table which is sorted as you fill it. You fill sorted tables using the INSERT statement. Entries are inserted according to the sort sequence defined through the table key. Any illegal entries are recognized as soon as you try to add them to the table. The response time for key access is logarithmically proportional to the number of table entries, since the system always uses a binary search. Sorted tables are particularly useful for partially sequential processing in a LOOP if you specify the beginning of the table key in the WHERE condition.

Hashed tables
This is the most appropriate type for any table where the main operation is key access. You cannot access a hashed table using its index. The response time for key access remains constant, regardless of the number of table entries. Like database tables, hashed tables always have a unique key. Hashed tables are useful if you want to construct and use an internal table which resembles a database table or for processing large amounts of data.

Dynamic internal table and dynamic read statements.

Hi,
My Scenario :
I have two dynamic internal tables.
I am looping at one internal table and trying to read another table.
In the read statement how do I mention the key dyamically.
Example code below :
LOOP AT <dyn_table> ASSIGNING <dyn_wa>.
read second dynamic internal table.
enloop.
The key which I want use for reading say it is keyed in the selection criteria....
Also based on the value I read I want to modify the first internal table field value.
Remember I dont want to explicity mention the key
How do I do that?
Thanks
Krishna.

Hi
U need to use the field-symbol, but u can't use a WHERE option, but u need to use the CHECK statament into the second loop:
LOOP AT <dyn_table> ASSIGNING <dyn_wa>.
 LOOP AT <DYN_TABLE2> ASSIGNING <DYN_WA2>.
 ASSIGN COMPONENT <COMPONENT> OF STRUCTURE <DYN_WA2> TO <FS>.
 CHECK <FS> IN (=) .......
 ASSIGN COMPONENT <COMPONENT> OF STRUCTURE <DYN_WA> TO <FS2>.
 <FS2> = .......
 EXIT.
 ENDLOOP.
ENDLOOP.

Internal Table and Structures

Hi,
I am a beginer. I know how to create a structure and how to create an internal table using ABAP/4. My problem is, i don't understand where to use internal table and structure, also i find myself very confused about the explicit work areas.
Plese someone show me a program by explaining all of this clearly.

Hi
Internal tables are the core of ABAP. They are like soul of a body. For any program we use
internal tables extensively. We can use Internal tables like normal data base tables only, but the
basic difference is the memory allocated for internal tables is temporary. Once the program is
closed the memory allocated for internal tables will also be out of memory.
But while using the internal tables, there are many performance issues to be considered. i.e which
type of internal table to be used for the program..like standard internal table, hashed internal
table or sorted internal table etc..
Internal tables
Internal tables provide a means of taking data from a fixed structure and storing it in working memory in ABAP. The data is stored line by
line in memory, and each line has the same structure. In ABAP, internal tables fulfill the function of arrays. Since they are dynamic data
objects, they save the programmer the task of dynamic memory management in his or her programs. You should use internal tables
whenever you want to process a dataset with a fixed structure within a program. A particularly important use for internal tables is for
storing and formatting data from a database table within a program. They are also a good way of including very complicated data
structures in an ABAP program.
Like all elements in the ABAP type concept, internal tables can exist both as data types and as data objects A data type is the abstract
description of an internal table, either in a program or centrally in the ABAP Dictionary, that you use to create a concrete data object. The
data type is also an attribute of an existing data object.
Internal Tables as Data Types
Internal tables and structures are the two structured data types in ABAP. The data type of an internal table is fully specified by its line type,
key, and table type.
Line type
The line type of an internal table can be any data type. The data type of an internal table is normally a structure. Each component of the
structure is a column in the internal table. However, the line type may also be elementary or another internal table.
Key
The key identifies table rows. There are two kinds of key for internal tables - the standard key and a user-defined key. You can specify
whether the key should be UNIQUE or NON-UNIQUE. Internal tables with a unique key cannot contain duplicate entries. The uniqueness
depends on the table access method.
If a table has a structured line type, its default key consists of all of its non-numerical columns that are not references or themselves
internal tables. If a table has an elementary line type, the default key is the entire line. The default key of an internal table whose line type
is an internal table, the default key is empty.
The user-defined key can contain any columns of the internal table that are not references or themselves internal tables. Internal tables
with a user-defined key are called key tables. When you define the key, the sequence of the key fields is significant. You should remember
this, for example, if you intend to sort the table according to the key.
Table type
The table type determines how ABAP will access individual table entries. Internal tables can be divided into three types:
Standard tables have an internal linear index. From a particular size upwards, the indexes of internal tables are administered as trees. In
this case, the index administration overhead increases in logarithmic and not linear relation to the number of lines. The system can access
records either by using the table index or the key. The response time for key access is proportional to the number of entries in the table.
The key of a standard table is always non-unique. You cannot specify a unique key. This means that standard tables can always be filled
very quickly, since the system does not have to check whether there are already existing entries.
Sorted tables are always saved sorted by the key. They also have an internal index. The system can access records either by using the
table index or the key. The response time for key access is logarithmically proportional to the number of table entries, since the system
uses a binary search. The key of a sorted table can be either unique or non-unique. When you define the table, you must specify whether
the key is to be unique or not. Standard tables and sorted tables are known generically as index tables.
Hashed tables have no linear index. You can only access a hashed table using its key. The response time is independent of the number of
table entries, and is constant, since the system access the table entries using a hash algorithm. The key of a hashed table must be unique.
When you define the table, you must specify the key as UNIQUE.
Generic Internal Tables
Unlike other local data types in programs, you do not have to specify the data type of an internal table fully. Instead, you can specify a
generic construction, that is, the key or key and line type of an internal table data type may remain unspecified. You can use generic
internal tables to specify the types of field symbols and the interface parameters of procedures . You cannot use them to declare data
objects.
Internal Tables as Dynamic Data Objects
Data objects that are defined either with the data type of an internal table, or directly as an internal table, are always fully defined in
respect of their line type, key and access method. However, the number of lines is not fixed. Thus internal tables are dynamic data objects,
since they can contain any number of lines of a particular type. The only restriction on the number of lines an internal table may contain are
the limits of your system installation. The maximum memory that can be occupied by an internal table (including its internal administration)
is 2 gigabytes. A more realistic figure is up to 500 megabytes. An additional restriction for hashed tables is that they may not contain more
than 2 million entries. The line types of internal tables can be any ABAP data types - elementary, structured, or internal tables. The
individual lines of an internal table are called table lines or table entries. Each component of a structured line is called a column in the
internal table.
Choosing a Table Type
The table type (and particularly the access method) that you will use depends on how the typical internal table operations will be most
frequently executed.
Standard tables
This is the most appropriate type if you are going to address the individual table entries using the index. Index access is the quickest
possible access. You should fill a standard table by appending lines (ABAP APPEND statement), and read, modify and delete entries by
specifying the index (INDEX option with the relevant ABAP command). The access time for a standard table increases in a linear relationship
with the number of table entries. If you need key access, standard tables are particularly useful if you can fill and process the table in
separate steps. For example, you could fill the table by appending entries, and then sort it. If you use the binary search option with key
access, the response time is logarithmically proportional to the number of table entries.
Sorted tables
This is the most appropriate type if you need a table which is sorted as you fill it. You fill sorted tables using the INSERT statement. Entries
are inserted according to the sort sequence defined through the table key. Any illegal entries are recognized as soon as you try to add
them to the table. The response time for key access is logarithmically proportional to the number of table entries, since the system always
uses a binary search. Sorted tables are particularly useful for partially sequential processing in a LOOP if you specify the beginning of the
table key in the WHERE condition.
Hashed tables
This is the most appropriate type for any table where the main operation is key access. You cannot access a hashed table using its index.
The response time for key access remains constant, regardless of the number of table entries. Like database tables, hashed tables always
have a unique key. Hashed tables are useful if you want to construct and use an internal table which resembles a database table or for
processing large amounts of data.
Creating Internal Tables
Like other elements in the ABAP type concept, you can declare internal tables as abstract data
types in programs or in the ABAP Dictionary, and then use them to define data objects.
Alternatively, you can define them directly as data objects. When you create an internal table as a
data object, you should ensure that only the administration entry which belongs to an internal
table is declared statically. The minimum size of an internal table is 256 bytes. This is important if an
internal table occurs as a component of an aggregated data object, since even empty internal
tables within tables can lead to high memory usage. (In the next functional release, the size of the
table header for an initial table will be reduced to 8 bytes). Unlike all other ABAP data objects, you
do not have to specify the memory required for an internal table. Table rows are added to and
deleted from the table dynamically at runtime by the various statements for adding and deleting
records.
You can create internal tables in different types.
You can create standard internal table and then make it sort in side the program.
The same way you can change to hashed internal tables also.
There will be some performance issues with regard to standard internal tables/ hashed internal
tables/ sorted internal tables.
Internal table types
This section describes how to define internal tables locally in a program. You can also define internal tables globally as data types in the
ABAP Dictionary.
Like all local data types in programs , you define internal tables using the TYPES statement. If you do not refer to an existing table type
using the TYPE or LIKE addition, you can use the TYPES statement to construct a new local internal table in your program.
TYPES <t> TYPE|LIKE <tabkind> OF <linetype> [WITH <key>]
[INITIAL SIZE <n>].
After TYPE or LIKE, there is no reference to an existing data type. Instead, the type constructor occurs:
<tabkind> OF <linetype> [WITH <key>]
The type constructor defines the table type <tabkind>, the line type <linetype>, and the key <key> of the internal table <t>.
You can, if you wish, allocate an initial amount of memory to the internal table using the INITIAL SIZE addition.
Table type
You can specify the table type <tabkind> as follows:
Generic table types
INDEX TABLE
For creating a generic table type with index access.
ANY TABLE
For creating a fully-generic table type.
Data types defined using generic types can currently only be used for field symbols and for interface parameters in procedures . The generic
type INDEX TABLE includes standard tables and sorted tables. These are the two table types for which index access is allowed. You cannot
pass hashed tables to field symbols or interface parameters defined in this way. The generic type ANY TABLE can represent any table. You
can pass tables of all three types to field symbols and interface parameters defined in this way. However, these field symbols and
parameters will then only allow operations that are possible for all tables, that is, index operations are not allowed.
Fully-Specified Table Types
STANDARD TABLE or TABLE
For creating standard tables.
SORTED TABLE
For creating sorted tables.
HASHED TABLE
For creating hashed tables.
Fully-specified table types determine how the system will access the entries in the table in key operations. It uses a linear search for
standard tables, a binary search for sorted tables, and a search using a hash algorithm for hashed tables.
Line type
For the line type <linetype>, you can specify:
Any data type if you are using the TYPE addition. This can be a predefined ABAP type, a local type in the program, or a data type from the
ABAP Dictionary. If you specify any of the generic elementary types C, N, P, or X, any attributes that you fail to specify (field length, number
of decimal places) are automatically filled with the default values. You cannot specify any other generic types.
Any data object recognized within the program at that point if you are using the LIKE addition. The line type adopts the fully-specified data
type of the data object to which you refer. Except for within classes, you can still use the LIKE addition to refer to database tables and
structures in the ABAP Dictionary (for compatibility reasons).
All of the lines in the internal table have the fully-specified technical attributes of the specified data type.
Key
You can specify the key <key> of an internal table as follows:
[UNIQUE|NON-UNIQUE] KEY <col1> ... <col n>
In tables with a structured line type, all of the components <coli> belong to the key as long as they are not internal tables or references,
and do not contain internal tables or references. Key fields can be nested structures. The substructures are expanded component by
component when you access the table using the key. The system follows the sequence of the key fields.
[UNIQUE|NON-UNIQUE] KEY TABLE LINE
If a table has an elementary line type (C, D, F, I, N, P, T, X), you can define the entire line as the key. If you try this for a table whose line
type is itself a table, a syntax error occurs. If a table has a structured line type, it is possible to specify the entire line as the key. However,
you should remember that this is often not suitable.
[UNIQUE|NON-UNIQUE] DEFAULT KEY
This declares the fields of the default key as the key fields. If the table has a structured line type, the default key contains all non-numeric
columns of the internal table that are not and do not contain references or internal tables. If the table has an elementary line type, the
default key is the entire line. The default key of an internal table whose line type is an internal table, the default key is empty.
Specifying a key is optional. If you do not specify a key, the system defines a table type with an arbitrary key. You can only use this to
define the types of field symbols and the interface parameters of procedures . For exceptions, refer to Special Features of Standard Tables.
The optional additions UNIQUE or NON-UNIQUE determine whether the key is to be unique or non-unique, that is, whether the table can
accept duplicate entries. If you do not specify UNIQUE or NON-UNIQUE for the key, the table type is generic in this respect. As such, it can
only be used for specifying types. When you specify the table type simultaneously, you must note the following restrictions:
You cannot use the UNIQUE addition for standard tables. The system always generates the NON-UNIQUE addition automatically.
You must always specify the UNIQUE option when you create a hashed table.
Initial Memory Requirement
You can specify the initial amount of main memory assigned to an internal table object when you define the data type using the following
addition:
INITIAL SIZE <n>
This size does not belong to the data type of the internal table, and does not affect the type check. You can use the above addition to
reserve memory space for <n> table lines when you declare the table object.
When this initial area is full, the system makes twice as much extra space available up to a limit of 8KB. Further memory areas of 12KB each
are then allocated.
You can usually leave it to the system to work out the initial memory requirement. The first time you fill the table, little memory is used. The
space occupied, depending on the line width, is 16 <= <n> <= 100.
It only makes sense to specify a concrete value of <n> if you can specify a precise number of table entries when you create the table and
need to allocate exactly that amount of memory (exception: Appending table lines to ranked lists). This can be particularly important for
deep-structured internal tables where the inner table only has a few entries (less than 5, for example).
To avoid excessive requests for memory, large values of <n> are treated as follows: The largest possible value of <n> is 8KB divided by the
length of the line. If you specify a larger value of <n>, the system calculates a new value so that n times the line width is around 12KB.
Examples
TYPES: BEGIN OF LINE,
COLUMN1 TYPE I,
COLUMN2 TYPE I,
COLUMN3 TYPE I,
END OF LINE.
TYPES ITAB TYPE SORTED TABLE OF LINE WITH UNIQUE KEY COLUMN1.
The program defines a table type ITAB. It is a sorted table, with line type of the structure LINE and a unique key of the component
COLUMN1.
TYPES VECTOR TYPE HASHED TABLE OF I WITH UNIQUE KEY TABLE LINE.
TYPES: BEGIN OF LINE,
COLUMN1 TYPE I,
COLUMN2 TYPE I,
COLUMN3 TYPE I,
END OF LINE.
TYPES ITAB TYPE SORTED TABLE OF LINE WITH UNIQUE KEY COLUMN1.
TYPES: BEGIN OF DEEPLINE,
FIELD TYPE C,
TABLE1 TYPE VECTOR,
TABLE2 TYPE ITAB,
END OF DEEPLINE.
TYPES DEEPTABLE TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF DEEPLINE
WITH DEFAULT KEY.
The program defines a table type VECTOR with type hashed table, the elementary line type I and a unique key of the entire table line. The
second table type is the same as in the previous example. The structure DEEPLINE contains the internal table as a component. The table
type DEEPTABLE has the line type DEEPLINE. Therefore, the elements of this internal table are themselves internal tables. The key is the
default key - in this case the column FIELD. The key is non-unique, since the table is a standard table.
Internal table objects
Internal tables are dynamic variable data objects. Like all variables, you declare them using the DATA statement. You can also declare static
internal tables in procedures using the STATICS statement, and static internal tables in classes using the CLASS-DATA statement. This
description is restricted to the DATA statement. However, it applies equally to the STATICS and CLASS-DATA statements.
Reference to Declared Internal Table Types
Like all other data objects, you can declare internal table objects using the LIKE or TYPE addition of the DATA statement.
DATA <itab> TYPE <type>|LIKE <obj> [WITH HEADER LINE].
Here, the LIKE addition refers to an existing table object in the same program. The TYPE addition can refer to an internal type in the
program declared using the TYPES statement, or a table type in the ABAP Dictionary.
You must ensure that you only refer to tables that are fully typed. Referring to generic table types (ANY TABLE, INDEX TABLE) or not
specifying the key fully is not allowed (for exceptions, refer to Special Features of Standard Tables).
The optional addition WITH HEADER line declares an extra data object with the same name and line type as the internal table. This data
object is known as the header line of the internal table. You use it as a work area when working with the internal table (see Using the
Header Line as a Work Area). When you use internal tables with header lines, you must remember that the header line and the body of the
table have the same name. If you have an internal table with header line and you want to address the body of the table, you must indicate
this by placing brackets after the table name (<itab>[]). Otherwise, ABAP interprets the name as the name of the header line and not of the
body of the table. You can avoid this potential confusion by using internal tables without header lines. In particular, internal tables nested
in structures or other internal tables must not have a header line, since this can lead to ambiguous expressions.
TYPES VECTOR TYPE SORTED TABLE OF I WITH UNIQUE KEY TABLE LINE.
DATA: ITAB TYPE VECTOR,
JTAB LIKE ITAB WITH HEADER LINE.
MOVE ITAB TO JTAB. <- Syntax error!
MOVE ITAB TO JTAB[].
The table object ITAB is created with reference to the table type VECTOR. The table object JTAB has the same data type as ITAB. JTAB also
has a header line. In the first MOVE statement, JTAB addresses the header line. Since this has the data type I, and the table type of ITAB
cannot be converted into an elementary type, the MOVE statement causes a syntax error. The second MOVE statement is correct, since
both operands are table objects.
Declaring New Internal Tables
You can use the DATA statement to construct new internal tables as well as using the LIKE or TYPE addition to refer to existing types or
objects. The table type that you construct does not exist in its own right; instead, it is only an attribute of the table object. You can refer to
it using the LIKE addition, but not using TYPE. The syntax for constructing a table object in the DATA statement is similar to that for defining
a table type in the TYPES statement.
DATA <itab> TYPE|LIKE <tabkind> OF <linetype> WITH <key>
[INITIAL SIZE <n>]
[WITH HEADER LINE].
As when you define a table type , the type constructor
<tabkind> OF <linetype> WITH <key>
defines the table type <tabkind>, the line type <linekind>, and the key <key> of the internal table <itab>. Since the technical attributes of
data objects are always fully specified, the table must be fully specified in the DATA statement. You cannot create generic table types (ANY
TABLE, INDEX TABLE), only fully-typed tables (STANDARD TABLE, SORTED TABLE, HASHED TABLE). You must also specify the key and whether
it is to be unique (for exceptions, refer to Special Features of Standard Tables).
As in the TYPES statement, you can, if you wish, allocate an initial amount of memory to the internal table using the INITIAL SIZE addition.
You can create an internal table with a header line using the WITH HEADER LINE addition. The header line is created under the same
conditions as apply when you refer to an existing table type.
DATA ITAB TYPE HASHED TABLE OF SPFLI
WITH UNIQUE KEY CARRID CONNID.
The table object ITAB has the type hashed table, a line type corresponding to the flat structure SPFLI from the ABAP Dictionary, and a
unique key with the key fields CARRID and CONNID. The internal table ITAB can be regarded as an internal template for the database table
SPFLI. It is therefore particularly suitable for working with data from this database table as long as you only access it using the key.
