You can use field symbols to do this. In your user exit, you need to do something like this.


data: field(50) type c.
data: xmarc type marc.
field-symbols: <imarc> type marc_upl_tt.

* Assign an internal table
  field = '(ZRICH_0006)IMARC[]'.
  assign (field) to <imarc>.

* You can now access IMARC from other program
  loop at <imarc> into xmarc.
    write: / xmarc-werks.
  endloop.

Not that I know, little tricks like this will come with experience and hanging out in the ABAP forum on SDN.

This should be made a sticky (or be put into the wiki) I keep forgetting how to do this
