Method importing parameter type range of any

I am trying to build a dynamic method and I need to pass any range table to it. So I want to make sure a) only a range can be passed or b) I leave the processing if the provided table is not a range. So my question would be:

Is there a way to define a method so the importing parameter has to be a range table (any type of range table)?

If there isn't any good was I would do it like this to check if the importet table is a range.

1) I would check for a table header.

Methods: this_method
  IMPORTING
    i_table TYPE any table.

IF i_table IS INITIAL.
  "do some code
ENDIF.

If this doesn't work I'll take the longer way.

2) I would use cl_abap_*descr classes to find out if the passed table has fields named "sign", "option", "low", high".

There isn't an equivalent of "any range table" typed parameter.

Your second option with RTTS would work.

Another option with a better performance that can only approve if the parameter is not of range table type, is to assign SIGN, OPTION etc... components of the first line if exists and then check IS NOT ASSIGNED.
