Assign field symbols

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have an issue on

FIELD-SYMBOLS :

<itab> TYPE ANY TABLE ,

<wa> TYPE ANY,

I am facing assign error.

How to append values into internal table from WA using field symbols.??

[former_member156446]

APPEND INITIAL LINE TO <ITAB> assigning <wa>.

<wa>-field1 = value1.

<wa>-field2 = value2.

Hi jay,

I have declared ITAB as type ANY so the above statement will give error.

Thanks

This worked for me:

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <itab> TYPE STANDARD TABLE,
               <wa>   TYPE any.

APPEND INITIAL LINE TO <itab> ASSIGNING <wa>.

Hi Vijay,

Field symbols are symbolic names for existing data objects, so you must have an internal table assigned to <itab>, for example:

DATA: lt_ekko TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ekko,

           lt_ekpo TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ekpo.

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <itab> TYPE STANDARD TABLE.

DO 2 TIMES.

     CASE SY-INDEX.

          WHEN 1.

               ASSIGN lt_ekko TO <itab>.

          WHEN 2.

               UNASSIGN <itab>.

               ASSIGN lt_ekpo TO <itab>.

     ENDCASE.

ENDDO.

Please, Let me know if i was helpful.

HI Vijay ,

Field symbols are nothing but pointers .

Further if you have declared it as type any table , it is important that you first assign a type to it .

and you assign the type to field symbol at design time or at run time .

e.g.  For run time , below is the sample code

data : lv_type_name type char4 value 'MARA'.

data : lo_ref type data .

field-symbols : <lt_table> type any table,

                          <ls_data> type any .

create data  lo_ref type standard table of  ( lv_type ).

assign lo_ref->* to <lt_table> .""once u do this <lt_table> has type assigned

append initial line to <lt_table> assigning <ls_data>.

Hope this solves your issue.

Best Regards,
