Class/Method to check if table exists in SE11 or not?

Question

I want to check if a table exists in SE11 or not through ABAP.

Their are some FM's available like "C_TABLE_EXISTENCE".... But i can't use FM's. I want to use or have to use Class and its methods in my software.

Please suggest me, how can i check existence of a table without using any FM. Preferably Class and Method.

Answer 1

You can use the class cl_rebf_ddic_tabl

It's exists will return you X if the object (Table, Structure or View) exists i SE11

EG:

CALL METHOD cl_rebf_ddic_tabl=>exists
  EXPORTING
    id_name     = [table name]
    id_tabclass = 'TRANSP'  " For table
*    if_noview   = ABAP_FALSE
  receiving
    rf_exists   = yes
    .
