Reference to a variable

Former Member — Wed, 14 Aug 2013 08:36:36 GMT

Hi all,

my question is how to get a reference to a variable which name is dynamically created at runtime?

Example:

lv_varname = part1 && part2.

get reference of (lv_varname) into ref.

I found no possiblity to manage that with the GET REFERENCE statement and I dont want to use FIELD-SYMBOLS.

thx in advance.

Br,

Markus

I think it can't be done without using field symbols.

The data object must be either a variable statically declared or a field symbol pointing to some objects( dynamic ).

The possible ways are as below:

DATA:lv_string TYPE char11.

DATA:lv_variable TYPE c VALUE 'X'.

DATA:wf_ref TYPE REF TO data.

FIELD-SYMBOLS:<fs1> TYPE ANY.

FIELD-SYMBOLS:<fs2> TYPE ANY.

lv_string = 'LV_VARIABLE'.

ASSIGN (lv_string) TO <fs1>.

WRITE <fs1>.

SKIP 1.

GET REFERENCE OF <fs1> INTO wf_ref.

ASSIGN wf_ref->* TO <fs2>.

WRITE <fs2>.

SKIP 1.

GET REFERENCE OF lv_variable INTO wf_ref.

ASSIGN wf_ref->* TO <fs2>.

WRITE <fs2>.
