Reg. Creation of table dynamically

Question

Hi Experts,
While creating a table dynamically some of the fields in it_lvc_cat are Integer but the created table (new_table) contains all the fields as character. Is there any possibility of changing the datatype as interger for required fields.
  CALL METHOD cl_alv_table_create=>create_dynamic_table
    EXPORTING
      it_fieldcatalog = it_lvc_cat
    IMPORTING
      ep_table        = new_table.
Regards,
Vijay.

Hi,
Refer this code:
REPORT zmtable LINE-SIZE 255
               LINE-COUNT 65.
