InternalTable fields printing asterisks

Former Member — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 10:30:09 GMT

Hi all,

I have developed BAPI upload program. In this, inside the internaltable loop, I am appending some bapi tables with the internal

table field values. After the APPEND statements, when Iam again using the internal table fields, it is printing the

asterisks(*) in debugging. But I need to make use of these internal table fields. Can anybody look into this.

Thanks

Murali

Hello Murali,

I think you're using [loop-control break statements|http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_702/en/abapat_itab.htm] hence you're getting '*' in place of field values.

You've remember while using these statements that only the "left-justified" field values are available, for the right-justified fields you'll get '*' values.

A simple workaround is to copy the workarea content to a another variable & use the latter for your processing inside the control-break block!

Further info(code snippet) is available in the forums.

BR,

Suhas

Hi Deepak, please consider the code. Refer the bold text inside the code.

      endif.
*bold*  BAPI calling functionality is completed here *bold*


*bold* Here iam using the internal table field  " data_tab-f14 " for some condition. but it is displaying asterisks in debugging *bold*
        select single knumv from vbak into v_knumv
          where vbeln = salesdocument.
        commit work.
        select * from konv into table t_konv
          where knumv = v_knumv.

        read table t_konv with key kschl = data_tab-f14       "Condition Type 5
                                   knumv = v_knumv.

But my problem solved to some extent.

Why this happens.

please suggest me your approach if any.

Thanks and Regards

Murali

After your select from vbak you have a nonsensical commit work. But, you never check sy-subrc to see if your select statements or read statements were successful. How is t_konv defined? Obsolete usage with a header? I hope so, since you've not defined anything to read into.
