Issue using assign for dynamic work areas....

Former Member — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 17:23:19 GMT

Hello,

I am using field-symols for dynamic internal table and dynamic wo0rk areas.

When I do following, the dynamic work area gets updated with the value of field in SF4. The <dyn_wa> is also automactially updated with value of field SF4 field which is equated to <DATA> in code (a) below.

ASSIGN COMPONENT v_component of STRUCTURE <dyn_wa> TO <DATA>.
<DATA> = SF4

But when I do following, I see that <DATA> now contains value of field SF4 but the

dynamic work area still does not have value of <DATA>.

ASSIGN COMPONENT v_component of STRUCTURE <dyn_wa> TO <DATA>.
v_screenfield = SF4.
assign (v_screenfield) to <DATA>

I want to use code technique (b) because then I would not have to code for case-endcase for each screen-fields, but I want to make sure that dynamic work area gets updated as in code (a).

Regards,

Jainam.

I think SF4. is the field name. then


v_screenfield = 'SF4'.   " Put this in single quotes
write (v_screenfield) to <data>.

and try.

Well there is issue with write statement for date. The date gets convrted to user format.

So, if v_screenfild = 20090202, the execution of statement below will cause <data> to have 02.02.2009 (user defined format) but I want <data> = 20090202

v_screenfield = 'SF4'.   " Put this in single quotes
write (v_screenfield) to <data>.
