Short Reference

Syntax

IMPORT DIRECTORY INTO itab
  FROM DATABASE dbtab(ar) [TO wa] [CLIENT cl] ID id.

Effect

With this statement, a table of contents of all data objects of adatacluster that was written to the database table dbtab in the area ar and under theID specified in id using the statement EXPORT is passed to the internal table itab. The database table dbtab must beset upas described for the statement EXPORT. For id, aflatcharacter-likedata object is expected that contains the ID of the data cluster and the two-digit area armust be specified directly. The additions TO and CLIENT also have the same relevance asdescribed in the statement IMPORT for important data from the data cluster.

For itab, index tables whose row type matches the structureCDIR in the ABAP Dictionary are allowed. The following table shows the components of the structure CDIR and their relevance.

Component	Type	Relevance
NAME	CHAR(30)	Name of the parameter under which a data object was stored.
OTYPE	CHAR(1)	General type of the stored data object. The following values are possible: "F" for elementary, flat data objects, "G" for strings, "R" forflat structures, "S" fordeepstructures, "T" for internal tables with a flat row type and "C" for tables with a deep row type.
FTYPE	CHAR(1)	Exact type of the stored data object. For elementary data objects and internal tableswith a elementary row type, the data or row type is returned in accordance with the table of returnvalues from DESCRIBEFIELD ... TYPE ("a", "b", "C", "D", "e", "g", "F", "I", "N", "P", "s", "T", "X", "y"). In the case of flat structures and internal tables with flat structured row types, "C" is returned. In the case ofdeepstructures and internal tables with deep, structured row type, "v" is returned. In the case of a table that has an internal table as a row type, "h" is returned.
TFILL	INT4	Filled length of the stored data object. For strings, the length of the content inbytes is returned; for internal tables, the number of rows is returned; for other data objects, the value 0 is returned.
FLENG	INT2	Length of the stored data object or the stored table rows in bytes. For strings, the value 8 is returned.

System fields

sy-subrc	Relevance
0	The specified data cluster was found and a list of the imported data objects was passed to the internal table itab.
4	The specified data cluster was not found.

Example

Storing three data objects in a data cluster and reading the directory. The content of the table itab in a Unicode system is as follows:

NAME	OTYPE	FTYPE	TFILL	FLENG
"PAR1"	"F"	"a"	0	8
"PAR2"	"T"	"I"	10	4
"PAR3"	"R"	"C"	0	168

DATA: f1 TYPE decfloat16,
      f2 TYPE TABLE OF i,
      f3 TYPE spfli.

DATA itab TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF cdir.

DO 10 TIMES.
  APPEND sy-index TO f2.
ENDDO.

EXPORT par1 = f1
       par2 = f2
       par3 = f3 TO DATABASE indx(hk) ID 'HK'.

IMPORT DIRECTORY INTO itab FROM DATABASE indx(hk) ID 'HK'.
