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

table in word

or in excel template

There are several things worth to mention:
