Passing a table as a parameter

Hi,
I want to pass a table name as a parameter to a procedure . A cursor in the procedure will be using the passed parameter , to fetch the values.
For eg.
Procedure A(X varchar2)
cursor c1 is
select *
from X;
right now i'm getting an error , X must be defined...is there any other way to do the same..?
Thanx in advance.
Preetha

You'll need to use dynamic SQL for this. Look up either the dbms_sql package or the 'execute immediate' call.
With execute immediate, you'd do something like
Procedure A(X varchar2)
IS
sqlStatement varchar2(4000);
BEGIN
sqlStatement := 'select * from " || x;
execute immediate sqlStatement;
END

Error in passing internal table as returning parameter

Hi
Im new to ABAP OO.
I declared a parameter ret_kna1 Returning Type KNA1.
Inside the method, I am retrieving data from table KNA1 into internal table and then I want return the interal table value.
But Im not able to assing the internal table for eg : code
method READ_CUSTOMER_LIST.
data: lt_kna1 type TABLE OF kna1,
      wa_kna1 LIKE LINE OF lt_kna1.
data: lv_kunnr type kna1-kunnr,
      lv_land1 type kna1-LAND1.
SELECT * FROM kna1
INTO TABLE lt_kna1
WHERE land1 eq lv_land1.
insert LINES OF lt_kna1 INTO TABLE ret_kna1.
endmethod.
when I try to activate the error says 'ret_kna1 is not an internal table "OCCURS n" specification is missing.
but I can not declare the internal table 'ret_kna1' once again in the code, as it already defined in the parameter as type KNA1.
please help me how to assign internal table values to the returing structur.

Are you passing it as an EXPORT parameter?
use and define it in the TABLES section of your function module as so:
*" IMPORTING
*"     VALUE(INCLUDE_X_LEVELS) TYPE CHAR1 OPTIONAL
*" TABLES
*"      I_SELECTED_OU STRUCTURE HRROOTOB
*"      I_SELECTED_EE STRUCTURE OBJEC
*"      E_VIP_EPM_DISTR STRUCTURE ZHR_VIP_EPM_DISTR
*"      E_RETURN STRUCTURE BAPIRET1
That way you can pass value in the table (if needed) and then pass the table with your values based on your own logic

Pass internal tables in Export Parameters of Function Module

Hi
How to pass internal tables through export parametes of the calling function module. i
think i can pass it by reference ....
if so can anyone suggest how to do it?

Hi,
You can Export values of an Internal table in two ways, by :
1) specifying in Tables tab
(Not recommended since it's an obsolete in ECC 6.0)
If used, will reduce the performance of the FM
Tables are always passed by reference
2) specifying in Exports tab.
The parameter should be a Table type (created in se11)
having a Line type that refers to the structure of the data.
Pass by Value is not used for Normal Function modules.
Used usually for RFC enabled FMs.
Cheers,
Remi

Pass table name as parameter in prepared Statement

Can I pass table name as parameter in prepared Statement
for example
select * from ? where name =?
when i use setString method for passing parameters this method append single colon before and after of this parameter but table name should be send with out colon as SQL Spec.
I have another way to make sql query in programing but i have a case where i have limitation of that thing so please tell me is it possible with prepared Statment SetXXx methods or not ?
Thanks

Well, I would say (ugly as it is) String concatenation, or stored procedures.

Problem passing a table parameter in rfc call using the function control

I try to pass a Table as parameter to a Function Module using the SAP.Functions library (part of SAP frontend controls) from a Visual Basic (VBA) program.
The function module has been verified to work when invoked from SAP FrontEnd Function Builder.
The SAP RFC Control is created with
Set sapFunctions=CreateObject("SAP.Functions")
Following code snippet shows how I attempt to set exports and add a table row before calling the function module:
sapFunctions.Connection = sapConnection
Set sapMaterialUpd = sapFunctions.Add("Z_SD_BAPI_SALES_DATA_UPD")
With sapMaterialUpd
'set exports
 .Exports("PA_GLPUPDLEVEL") = "S"
 .Exports("PA_VKORG") = "FI14"
'append table row
 .Tables("IT_SALES_DATA_UPD").AppendRow
 .Tables("IT_SALES_DATA_UPD")(1, "VKORG") = "FI14"
 .Tables("IT_SALES_DATA_UPD")(1, "MATNR") = "W_3100"
 .Tables("IT_SALES_DATA_UPD")(1, "DATBI") = "99991231"
 .Tables("IT_SALES_DATA_UPD")(1, "DATAB") = "20041231"
 .Tables("IT_SALES_DATA_UPD")(1, "KBETR") = "2222"
 .Tables("IT_SALES_DATA_UPD")(1, "KONWA") = "EUR"
End With
'call the function module
If sapMaterialUpd.Call() = True Then
 'do something with the return tables here...Else
 Debug.Print sapMaterialUpd.Exception
End If
The Call() returns FALSE and the exception is "SYSTEM_FAILURE". The connection also resets.
The local logfile that the control generates shows that an exception occurs at the point of the call:
10.02.2005 17:54:20.766 Packing Parameters for Z_SD_BAPI_SALES_DATA_UPD
Packing Parameter PA_GLPUPDLEVEL.
Packing Parameter PA_VKORG.
Packing Table 0.
Packing Table 1.
10.02.2005 17:54:20.766 *** Calling RFC Function 'Z_SD_BAPI_SALES_DATA_UPD'
10.02.2005 17:54:20.986 RFC CALL status = RFC_SYS_EXCEPTION

10.02.2005 17:54:20.986 Function call finished.
Seen next code snippet. If the Table object is not touched, the function call goes through without any problems:
sapFunctions.Connection = sapConnection
Set sapMaterialUpd = sapFunctions.Add("Z_SD_BAPI_SALES_DATA_UPD")
With sapMaterialUpd
'set exports
 .Exports("PA_GLPUPDLEVEL") = "S"
 .Exports("PA_VKORG") = "FI14"
 'do not append a table row, for testing only ;-)
End With
'call the function module
If sapMaterialUpd.Call() = True Then
 'do something with the return tables here...
Else
 Debug.Print sapMaterialUpd.Exception
End If
This code works perfectly when calling the function. It returns TRUE and behaves normally. The function module returns descriptive response text in a table telling that the table was empty, according to the BAPI implementation.
So is there something special needed here after appending the table row and before making the Call to properly attach the table as a parameter for the function module?
Can this be a bug in the SAP RFC Control? The version of the wdtfuncs.ocx is 6206.6.45.54.
Any hints are welcome!

hi All partner,

can't clear it.

SAPitab.value(1,'LFIMG') := '100';
IF SAPfunc.call = true then

Can I pass a table function parameter like this?

This works. Notice I am passing the required table function parameter using the declared variable.
DECLARE @Date DATE = '2014-02-21'
SELECT
h.*, i.SomeColumn
FROM SomeTable h
LEFT OUTER JOIN SomeTableFunction(@Date) I ON i.ID = h.ID
WHERE h.SomeDate = @Date
But I guess you can't do this?... because I'm getting an error saying h.SomeDate cannot be bound. Notice in this one, I am attempting to pass in the table function parameter from the SomeTable it is joined to by ID.
DECLARE @Date DATE = '2014-02-21'
SELECT
h.*, i.SomeColumn
FROM SomeTable h
LEFT OUTER JOIN SomeTableFunction(h.SomeDate) I ON i.ID = h.ID
WHERE h.SomeDate = @Date

Hi
NO you cant pass a table function parameter like this?
As When you declare @date assign value to it and pass as a parameter it will return table which you can use for join as you did it in first code
But when you pass date from some other table for generating table from your funtion it doesnt have date as it is not available there

How to pass a table as parameter on a stored procedure

Hello all,
I want to pass the name of a table as parameter into a stored procedure, that will be used for cursors etc.
But when i pass the parameter and i compile the S.P. it give me error (error: table not existing...)
Any Help?
Thanks in advance, Marco

Marco wrote:
As i've written above, i'm using stored procedures like 'batch' programs which will be executed with oracle scheduler (passing to s.p. the name of the 'input' tables)
These input tables are 'external' tables which have got the same structure; for example i've got TABLEX_001, TABLEX_002, XXTAB etc. with the same structure.
This is the the reason... what do you think?An external table definition can reference multiple files via the LOCATION definition or you can user "ALTER TABLE" to alter the location and change the file that the external table points to.
Thus you only need one static External Table and use an alter table (via execute immediate) to change the file location it points to, or if you want all the data together, just specify all the files in the location.
That would be clean design, using one fixed table, without the need to pass any table names, just dynamically altering the file names if necessary at run time.

in the smart form i have tried to pass the sp as the table.
i have created a program line node
:SELECT * FROM zselect_options INTO TABLE it_tab WHERE id IN sf_sop.

Hi,
If i understand ur problem correctly u r trying to pass a select-option to Tables for a smartform function module. It gives an error & it correct.
If u understand the structure of a select option, it will have 4 fields in it & the structure will be
SIGN CHAR1
OPTION CHAR2
LOW Type Zfield
HIGH Type Zfield
But ur receiving Table paramter of the smnartform FM will be having only 1 field - Type Zfield
So this mismatch gives u an error.
Solution:
Case1:
Write code outsied th FM in ur program to get all the values & build an internal table & pass that to the FM.
Case2:
Define the Structure of table in the smartforms as tols earlier & then try passsig the Select option.
Thanks & Regards,

Pass Structured table into dynamic table parameter in public method

Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have a requiremet to pass (1 at a time) any number of tables into a reuseable method in a custom class. The Method code is as follows:
method CREATE_OUTBOUND_FILE.
* Importing VALUE( IV_PATHNAME ) TYPE PATHEXTERN File Destination
* Importing VALUE( IT_FILE_RECORD ) TYPE REF TO DATA Table with Output
* Importing VALUE( IV_RECORD_STRUCTURE ) TYPE STRING OPTIONAL Record Structure
* Importing VALUE( IV_DELIMITER ) TYPE STRING File Delimiter
* Exporting VALUE( EV_RECORD_CNT ) TYPE STRING Record Count
Data:
 ls_line_cnt(6) type n,
 lt_data_struc type zty_ddic_struc_T,
 ls_string type string.
field-SYMBOLS: <fs_string> type any.
* Open Dataset for outputting file details
Open dataset iv_pathname for output in text mode encoding default.
Assign ls_string to <fs_string> CASTING TYPE (iv_record_structure).
loop at it_file_record into <fs_string>.
 transfer <fs_string> to iv_pathname.
 Add 1 to ls_line_cnt.
 clear <fs_string>.
endloop.
ev_record_cnt = ls_line_cnt.
where IV_PATHNAME = output destination & filename
 IT_FILE_REC = data table
 IV_RECORD_STRUCTURE = is ddic structure definition for the data table
 IV_DELIMITER = file delimiter, in this case, let's say it's C (for CSV)
 and EV_RECORD_CNT is a count of numbe of records processed.
Lets say, for example, I wish to load data from table SFLIGHT into the method when program A is executed. Then another time I wish to excute Program B which is passing in data of table SFLCONN2. I hope that by using the "type ref to data" defintion, I can pass the table contents through. Is this true?
Secondly, I'm getting a syntax error saying that "IT_FILE_RECORD" is not defined as a table (and therefore can't be looped at), and therefore can't be read. How can I access the data in this table in preparation for output.
Any assistance or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Steve

Hi Stephen ,
Graham already gve part of the solution.
If you declare
Importing VALUE( IT_FILE_RECORD ) TYPE REF TO DATA
it does not make sense to declare to pass by VALUE because you will not change this refernce in the method. Calling this method, you must pass a refefernce.
data:
lr_ref type ref to data.
get reference of <your itab here> into lr_ref.
CREATE_OUTBOUND_FILE( ...IT_FILE_RECORD = lr_ref ... )
In the method, it goes as graham explained.
Anyway, I would declare the table parameter as
Importing IT_FILE_RECORD TYPE TABLE
The your code could work, but you will have troube with any non-character fields in the tables.

Clemens

Whats the difference betweeen passing the table variable and table valued parameter?

Hi Everbody
Can someone one tell me what's the difference between passing a table variable and table valued parameter to a stored procedure or function? Can both be used to pass a table to a stored procedure/function?
Regards
Regards

They are essentially the same. What we call a table variable is a local
variable. A table-valued parameter is an incoming parameter to the
procedure. The only difference is that the parameter is readonly.
When you call a stored procedure, you can pass a table variable as the
actual parameter. Or a table-valued parameter that you pass on.

That aside, what do you want to return? You're selecting a column and applying an aggregate function (count) but you're not grouping, that doesn't usually work out too well.
