The following ABAP code demonstrates how to create an internal table structure d

ynamically from within your SAP code. The program takes a table name as its inpu
t and then builds an internal table dynamically from this information, it then p
opulates it with data and displays it using an ALV grid control.
*Code to demonstrate how to create a structure dynamically
* The varying comand works on the position within the row, therfore
* each field must be the same number of fields apart.
