Is it possible to create database view programmatically?

Question

I know one can create Database Views in DDIC, but is it possible to define a Database View directly with ABAP?

...why? What are you trying to achieve? – vwegert Apr 06 '16 at 07:06 — vwegert, Apr 06 '16 at 07:06

Use function modules DDIF_VIEW_PUT for creation and DDIF_VIEW_ACTIVATE for activation of view. But you should specify all table parameters carefully, as incorrect parameters could result in failure of creation.

Nothing is impossible with ABAP. You would have to debug what is under the hood in the SAP ABAP Code when you create your view in SE11.

I know there is a possibility of creating a transparent table on the fly in ABAP, so I believe there is a possibility of creating a view as well. Of course such an object would have to be assigned to $TMP package and not be transportable.
