Dynamically assign "TABLES table_wa." to a structure

In my /XXX/MY_FUNCTION_GROUP function group include - /XXX/MY_FUNCTION_GROUPTOP - there's a table work area defined like this: (see syntax)

FUNCTION-POOL /XXX/MY_FUNCTION_GROUP.

TABLES /xxx/my_structure.

My problem is that depending on the SAP system in which this program is imported the structure /xxx/my_structure may not exist which would lead to a syntax error.

Is there a way to make the structure dynamic?

So far I tried this, but that syntax is invalid:

TABLES ( '/xxx/my_structure' ).

Solution

There's no dynamic variant of TABLES.

But you can find many workarounds depending on your context/needs.

Questions you could ask yourself to help you find these workarounds:

Is "TABLES X" really necessary or can you use the dynamic variant of "DATA X TYPE X" (CREATE DATA) instead? TABLES is required for some Dynpro features, Logical Database, memory sharing.
Why is it needed to compile the program although running it would badly fail?
Can't you define transport routes to force objects to go in different transport requests? (assign these objects to dedicated Packages -> to Transport Layers)
