Se11 structure with se11 table type included

Hi ABAP Gurus,
in order to pass a complex datastructure by RFC I want to create a new structure via SE11 which includes in addition to some normal fields an field which represents a table of a certain type. Therefore I created a table type and tried to include that in the structure definition but without success. Any ideas of how I can create such a 'non-flat' structure in the ABAP dictionary ?
I know that such a thing can be declared as a type in ABAP, but I'm not sure if I can do it in the dictionary.
Any reply is very appreciated,
Best regards, Philipp

Hi,
You can insert structure into the table, and vice versa is not possible.
If you want to insert structure GO to Se11 -> provide table name -> chnage/create -> edit -> include -> insert -> provide the strcuture you want to include.
Thanks,
Sriram Ponna.

Create Structure with dynamical Table-Type

Hi experts,
is there a possibility, to create a structure via SE11 and including there a field which referes to a dynamic table-type.
So that I can append to this structure-field all different table-types?
for example: ones I append MARA[] and ones AFKO[]
Thx for help

Hi Christian,
There's not predefined generic type to do that, but you could create your own field type (deep structure) which would be able to keep table lines after transposition (90 degree flip) where in example it would have four columns: Table type, row id(index) field name, value. That way you could store ANY table row you need... This will not come cheap and will involve some work of course.
You may want have a look at standard ABAP services RRTS and RTTI (see classes and structures used in attributes an parameters) - these are two services for handling data types and metadata related operations during runtime. You may want to use them for flipping your table entries to the tabular form and so on. You may also find some ideas there on how to compose your own data type for your purposes.
Good luck!

Declare deep structure with se11

Hi,
I would like to create a new deep structure with a table type component with se11 transaction, not a nested structure.
I know it is possible to do that with Abap but I need to do this with se11 because it has to be accessible from some reports and some function modules as export parameters.
Thanks.

Hello Juan
If you use a DB table name as TYPE for your structure field is is always a structure but not a table type.
The only difference between DB tables and structures is that you can save records in DB tables.
Instead of the DB table name you need the name of a table type which has the DB table as line type.
Example: Structure has two fields
KUNNR (of TYPE kunnr)
DATA (of TYPE trty_knb1 => table type for KNB1)
Now you can define a table type having the line structure shown above.

Can I join Structure with Z table ?

Can I join Structure with Z table?
If yes...plz explain me with an example.
PLease provide me with an example to join a structure with a Ztable...
Any help would be appreciated...

Krishna Chaitanya

Hi Chitanya,
It is possible to add fields in the form of structure to a Z table.it can be done in the form of Include or Append structure.There are no other ways to join structure to the table upto my knowledge.
if it useful, reward points.

Java call stored procedure with nested table type parameter?

Hi experts!
I need to call stored procedure that contains nested table type parameter, but I don't know how to handle it.
The following is my pl/sql code:
create or replace package test_package as
type row_abc is record(
col1 varchar2(16),
col2 varchar2(16),
col3 varchar2(16 )
type matrix_abc is table of row_abc index by binary_integer;
PROCEDURE test_matrix(p_arg1 IN VARCHAR2,
p_arg2 IN VARCHAR2,
p_arg3 IN VARCHAR2,
p_out OUT matrix_abc
END test_package;
create or replace package body test_package as
PROCEDURE test_matrix(p_arg1 IN VARCHAR2,
p_arg2 IN VARCHAR2,
p_arg3 IN VARCHAR2,
p_out OUT matrix_abc
IS
v_sn NUMBER(8):=0 ;
BEGIN
LOOP
EXIT WHEN v_sn>5 ;
v_sn := v_sn + 1;
p_out(v_sn).col1 := 'col1_'||to_char(v_sn)|| p_arg1 ;
p_out(v_sn).col2 := 'col2_'||to_char(v_sn)||p_arg2 ;
p_out(v_sn).col3 := 'col3_'||to_char(v_sn)||p_arg3 ;
END LOOP ;
END ;
END test_package ;
My java code is following, it doesn't work:
Class.forName ("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");

Louis,
If I'm not mistaken, record types are not allowed. However, you can use object types instead. However, they must be database types. In other words, something like:
create or replace type ROW_ABC as object (
col1 varchar2(16),
col2 varchar2(16),
col3 varchar2(16 )
create or replace type MATRIX_ABC as table of ROW_ABC
/Then you can use the "ARRAY" and "STRUCT" (SQL) types in your java code. If I remember correctly, I recently answered a similar question either in this forum, or at JavaRanch -- but I'm too lazy to look for it now. Do a search for the terms "ARRAY" and "STRUCT".
For your information, there are also code samples of how to do this on the OTN Web site.
Good Luck,
Avi.

A structure with mutiple data types or array of array

I want to read some soft of a table from a text file and want to store in a structure (not in database) for future use. I want the structure to have rows and columns when I need to reach. Colums should store multiple data types (int and/or string). I have examined Collections that only store one data type and only one dimension. I need a structure that holds multiple datatypes and at least 2 dimension. In short I need array of array? Any example or suggestion?

Here is the colection part. But I cound not get it finished. Stuck at getting data from collection.. How could I read from the collection
    public static Long ReadFromFile() {

ALV Grid with table type structure

I created a structure with a table type in it. I want to display an ALV Grid report with that structure. Is it even possible. If yes, can someone please provide some reference. Thanks.
Edited by: Sreekanth Nadella on Sep 4, 2010 2:29 AM

Hi Clemens,
The output should like a normal ALV Grid report. Just like a deep structure, one of the cell will have multiple row/value just like table. So you are looking at something like this.
A               B               C              1         2         3            D             E
                                                   4         5         6
                                                   7         8         9

                                                   4         5         6
                                                   7         8         9

Block with more than one table type agurment - Update Procedure for Block

Hi,
I have one form with 3 Block. First Block is single row block, and other 2 are details block . The details balocks are based on the Procedure datasource, because of the complex query conditions. Now my requirement is When Inserting / Updating the Master Block (Single Row Block), I need to get the values in the two details block , because I need to update some other tables also based on these values. I created a procedure with two Table Type parameters (for each details block) , but when I using this procedure as the Update Procedure Name in the block, I am getting the error Only One table type arguement is allowed. Is there any other method to implement this.
Thanks in advance.

Rizly,
A quick summary to make sure I understand your requirements. You have a single row base table master block with two detail blocks that are based on Procedures. When you update the single row base table master block, you need all of the data in the two procedure based detail blocks as there are updates that you have to perform to other tables that use this data. You have created a stored procedure that take two PL/SQL tables as parameters, but you are getting the error that only 1 table parameter is allowed.
I need to ask you a few questions first. What is your Forms version? The stored procedure you created; are you using this procedure in the "On-Insert, On-Update, On-Delete" triggers or do you call the procedure in one of the Base Table block ("Key-Commit, When-Button-Pressed" or other trigger)? When you modify or add a new Master block record are you adding values to the detail blocks or using values from the previous Master block record?
If you are using your procedure in the On-Insert, On-Update or On-Delete trigger(s), then based on your description, the error you are receiving is correct. The "On-..." triggers are constrained in that their procedures expect only a single PL/SQL table, Table of Records or Ref Cursor as a parameter. This is a Forms constraint - not a PL/SQL constraint as Forms is expecting you to only perform actions on the block where the "On-..." Trigger is located.
Perhaps you should consider creating a database Package that has two package specification constructs (Ref Cursor, Table of Records, etc) you can populate from Forms and then simply call the package procedure that will use the Ref Cursors to perform the needed update or inserts.
Hope this helps.

Creating abap program to develop and activate a global table type and global structure.

Hi friends,
I want to create and activate a global structure and global table type by coding in ABAP editor only. so can I do that anyhow.
Please help me.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks guys for your fruitful replies, as most of you asked the main purpose of my question, the answer is as follows:
in fact my purpose to do so is to create a function module that can fetch data dynamically from different database tables based on the codings in different abap program.
for example: in one abap program i am coding as follows:
tables: kna1.
types: begin of itab,
          kunnr type kna1-kunnr,
          name1 type kna1-name1,
          end of itab.
data: it_tab type standard table of itab,
         wa_tab type itab.
similarly in other program i am coding as follows:
tables: vbrp.
types: begin of itab,
          posnr type vbrp-posnr,
          matnr type vbrp-matnr,
          arktx type vbrp-arktx,
          end of itab.
data: it_tab type standard table of itab,
         wa_tab type itab.
so now for both programs i want to call the same function module and fetch data as required in relative programs as mentioned above. in that case how to create that function module?

Fill datagridview with Nested Table Object Type ???

Hello everybody, please you help me resolve my problem?
I follow this example: *(A Sample Application using Object-Relational features)* http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14117_01/appdev.101/b10799/adobjxmp.htm
And this tutorial: *(Using Oracle User-Defined Types with .NET and Visual Studio)* http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/hol08/dotnet/udt/udt_otn.htm
Now I have 3 Object Table: Stock, Customer and Purchase Order. With the tutorial it's OK to show the data of Stock and Customer Table [there is no nested table in], but I can't do this with table Purchase Order, the tutorial don't show how to work with Nested Table type [Missing or something ?]
When I try to display the data of table Purchase Order, I get the error:
typeName='LINEITEMLIST_NTABTYP'' is not specified or is invalid*
Follow the tutorial, I generate custom class for this UDT and get another error:
this.STOCK_REF = ((object)(Oracle.DataAccess.Types.OracleUdt.GetValue(con, pUdt, "STOCK_REF")));*
Argument Exception Unhandle: Object attribute is not mapped to a custom type member.*
Can You show me how to do this ? Show the data of the Nested Table in Visual Studio, do I have something wrong ??? Thanks and Best Regards.

I think you need to go through the tutorial more carefully. I think you are missing steps.
You are using a REF. Are you creating an object table for the objects to be stored in? Are you dereferencing the REF? This is covered by the Oracle by Example tutorial.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/hol08/dotnet/udt/udt_otn.htm#t11
When you receive the nested table, it will be inside a .NET class. You can create this class by using the Create Custom Class menu item on the nested table type in server explorer.
This class will contain a ToString method and a ToXML method.
The question is, where are you attempting to display the data from this nested table? In a grid?
Does it make sense to display a nested table inside one cell of a grid? No. You would need to construct a special UI that will show the
nested table. Maybe the user clicks on the cell on the grid, which opens a new grid that displays the data. Or maybe there is a second grid on the form that always shows the nested table for the row that the first grid currently has selected.
I realize I am not providing you the code... but it sounds like you need to design a more sohisticated UI than what the tutorial is using -- one that can handle displaying one additional table per row.

Table type row engine

Hello,
We are using procedures with table type:
create type <type_name> as table (....)
using explain plan we discover that it uses row engine.
Is there an alternative??
Thanks,
Amir

hi Srinivas,
table type
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/90/8d7304b1af11d194f600a0c929b3c3/frameset.htm
In SE11 you can create table type.
This table type is similar to tables, but not the same way as you create tables. You can create table type with either Line type ( Nothing but a structure), Built-in ABAP types or Reference type. Assume that we have created one table type TYTAB with line type LITYP.
So when you declare like this,
DATA: ITAB type TYTAB - Now ITAB acts as a internal table of type TYTAB.
DATA: LS_TYP TYPE LITYP - This LS_TYP now acts as a structure.
So, it is clear that linetype and structure are one and the same.

Santosh

Problems with DDIC tables in a Function's signature

Hi,
We're on SAP Basis 702, support pack 7.
I am trying to add a (DDIC) table to the signature of a Function in BRF+, but I have encountered 2 problems:
1. BRF+ asks me to specify the 'Table Line Type' of the table, but it refuses to recognize the structure name (ZINSTALMENTS) that I specified.
I guessed (correctly) that it was actually asking for the 'Table Type' (ZINSTALMENTS_T), not the line type.
Question 1: Do you find the 'Table Line Type' text misleading, or is it just me?
Question 2: Does this mean that we always have to wrap a structure in a table type, before we can use it to define tables in BRF+?
2. My structure ZINSTALMENTS contains three fields:
PRAMT     Types     PRAMT_KK     CURR     13     2     Payment Amount Promised
PRDAT     Types     PRODT_KK     DATS     8     0     Payment Date Promised
PRCUR     Types     WAERS     CUKY     5     0     Currency Key
..but the table structure that was transferred to BRF+ contains only the first two fields.
Question 3: Is this a bug or a feature? Has anyone else encountered this issue?
Note: field PRCUR is a currency reference field for PRAMT.
thanks for your advice
Paul

Hi Paul,
Let my analyse and comment on your text:
"I am trying to add a (DDIC) table to the signature of a Function ..."
In BRFplus you cannot add a DDIC table directly to the signature of a Function. What you can do is to create a data object of type table and add this to a function as input/context. The creation of data objects provide the option to bind to DDIC. So your table data object can be bound to a DDIC table. Your structure data objects could be bound to a DDIC structure etc. When you bind a table type it will automatically also create the line type (structure or element) and bind this as well to DDIC.
Im an not sure what exactly your problem is but maybe you expect a database table to be used for binding with a BRFplus table. This is not possible as a DB table is not a table type but defines a structure only. So you could use the DB table name in the binding of a BRFplus structure.
In case you have problems because of terminology used in the UI we should perform some tests and then we will change accordingly. Therefore I appreciate that you openly bring up the question in the forum.
"My structure ZINSTALMENTS contains three fields..."
In BRFplus there is a type AMOUNT for elementary data objects. This Amount includes a number and a currency. I assume in your case the fields PRAMT and PRCUR are included in a field of type amount with name PRAMT.

Carsten

Table Type in cl_alv_table_create= create_dynamic_table

Hi guys,
The method create_dynamic_table from cl_alv_table_create has as exporting parameter a fielcatalog table. I want to insert a table type in this table, basically the field INTTYPE from LVC_S_FCAT can do that if u put the value 'h' in it. But I notice, that in method implementations all the cases are considered:
C
Character String
N
Character String with Digits Only
D
Date (Date: YYYYMMDD)
T
Time (Time: HHMMSS)
X
Byte Sequence (heXadecimal)
I
Integer number (4-byte integer with sign)
b
1-byte integer, integer number <= 254
s
2-byte integer, only for length field before LCHR or LRAW
P
Packed number
F
Floating point number to accuracy of 8 bytes
and other, but not 'h'.
Does anybody knows how create a dynamic table with a table type inside ? The table type has the structure from data dictionary lvc_t_scol.

Accessing Table Type

Hi All,
    In the code below WFAT_EMP_INT_EMPWA is a table type.
For the function module 'WFA_EMP_DATA_GET' , ET_EMP_WORKAREA is an export parameter of type WFAT_EMP_INT_EMPWA

I need to get the parameter from one function module and pass it to the next function module.
Do i need to create a work area for the table type or can we simply define the table type and just pass it to the next FM as shown below.

In the above context does ITAB_WRKAREA(table type) will have only one record.
What is the difference between these 2 statements
DATA: x type TT.   " TT refers to table type
DATA: x type ST.    "ST refers to structure type
I am getting confused with the table types and structures . Table type refers to a line type which inturn refers to a structure? Can some one explain this.
Thanks in Advance

*-- Table type is a table.. when you refere to a table type u need not use again standard table of , or occurs 0 addition the follwoing statmenet will declare x as a internal table with out header line.
DATA: x type TT. " TT refers to table type
*-- Structure is a flat structure and x is a work area not internal table.
DATA: x type ST. "ST refers to structure type
if you have to create x as intenaal table using strrucre ST then
data : x type standard table of ST..
Thanks

Information about Table Type

Hi Guys,
What does Table Type mean?
What are uses of Table Type?

Hi
Analogous to the predefined ABAP types such as C or I , one may define user-defined types in the dictionary.
The following user-defined types are allowed
Data elements: Describe an elementary type by defining the data type, length and possibly decimal places.
Structures: Consist of components that can have any type.
Table types: Describe the structure of an internal table.
Elaboration on the type categories.
There are three different type categories in the ABAP Dictionary:
Data elements (elementary types) Elementary types have no structure. They describe the data type attributes (such as given Dictionary data type, number of places) and information that is relevant for the screen (such as title) of unstructured data objects (variables/fields).
Structures (structured types) Structured types describe the structure and functions of any structured data objects, that is of data structures with components of any type. A component can be a field with an elementary type or can itself be a structure. A table can also be used as a component in a structure. A database table always has a structure and is therefore implicitly a structured type. However, the fields of a database table can only have an elementary type.
Table types Table types describe the structure and functions of internal tables in the ABAP program. Their rows can have any row type. Table types with elementary row type therefore can be defined just the same as multi-dimensional table types (table types with a table type as row type) or table types using structures with table-like components.
Any complex user-defined type may be built using the
previously mentioned basic types.
