Assign Syntax throwing DUMP!!!

Former Member — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 19:21:18 GMT

Before Unicode check active, the syntax is:

ASSIGN ELBP-KRT01+OFFSET TO <X>.

I changed into

ASSIGN ELBP-KRT01+OFFSET(*) TO <X>.

after reading SAP help.

KRT01 is DEC field from DB ELBP

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <X> type any.

Dump says:

Part of the source field "ELBP-KRT01" was assigned to a field symbol,

but this is not possible for fields of type "P".

When I test this change...it throws dump.Am I missing something?

Thanks

Don't use OFFSET. I would not recommend to use offset with anything but the CHAR fields.

In 4.7:

Press F1 on ASSIGN.

Click on " ASSIGN f TO . "

Click on "Accessing Fields Using Offset and Length Addressing"

This is what it is given there.

DATA: NAME(12) VALUE 'JACKJOHNCARL',

X(10) VALUE 'XXXXXXXXXX'.

FIELD-SYMBOLS <F> TYPE ANY.

ASSIGN NAME+4 TO <F>. " Not permitted in Unicode systems
WRITE <F>.

ASSIGN NAME+4(*) TO <F>.

WRITE <F>.

And I am declaring in the similar fashion.Then why am I still getting dump.

Thanks

Also I suggest you check for sy-subrc and handle the error after the ASSIGN statement. This will avoid short dumps at runtime.

You clicked on "dynamic ASSIGN" not "Accessing Fields Using Offset and Length Addressing".

I dont see any option like Accessing Fields Using Offset and Length Addressing".

I am on 4.7EE

I can see only below.

ASSIGN f TO <fs>.

Extras:

1. ... CASTING ... or

2. ... TYPE type

3. ... DECIMALS dec

4. ... RANGE range

Hope you can help me paste the syntax from what you se rather than increasing the iterations .

Thanks

Kiran

As I said earlier, you first have to click on "ASSIGN f TO <fs>".

I'm not going to cut and paste from the help. You have to learn how to navigate through this yourself.

I think the best advice was the first answer - don't do this.
