XTT – Table part of report

Hi everyone,

Previously for making simple reports we used a ‘R TYPE ts_root‘ structure & special anchors like ‘{R-TITLE}’ … ‘{R-BOTTOM}’ which represent fields of the ROOT structure in the in Excel | Word | Pdf templates.

In this post we go further & try to display most powerful data type in ABAP. As you already guessed I’m writing about internal tables.

Let’s add a random table description

      " Random table data
      BEGIN OF ts_rand_data,
        group   TYPE string,
        caption TYPE string,
        date    TYPE d,
        sum1    TYPE p LENGTH 13 DECIMALS 2,
        sum2    TYPE p LENGTH 13 DECIMALS 2,
      END OF ts_rand_data,
      tt_rand_data TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ts_rand_data WITH DEFAULT KEY.

and add it to a root structure

    " Document structure
    BEGIN OF ts_root,
      footer   TYPE string,
      t        TYPE tt_rand_data, " internal flat table ( In template {R-T} )
...
    END OF ts_root.

After filling R-T table with data we could use it in word template
