Pass System Variable value into variable

former_member212148 — Thu, 12 Sep 2013 06:08:23 GMT

Hello Experts,

My requirement is I am using dynamic where condition in select statement.

in where clause I ll pass system variable with field and it may be without system variable.

If my where condition contains system variable I want its value in variable.

I dont want to hard code of system variable as SY-DATUM, SY-UNAME.

DATA: SDATE TYPE STRING,
       STR_DATE TYPE STRING,
       V_STR TYPE STRING.
V_STR = 'sy-datum'.
STR_DATE = ' ersda = sy-datum'.
IF STR_DATE CS V_STR.
   SDATE = V_STR.
ENDIF.
WRITE😕 SDATE.

Output is : SY-DATUM.

but i want to output current date as 20130912.

Kindly consider my request.

Thanks & regrads,

Ranjit Kumar

Hi Ranjit ,

According to my understanding you are not able to populate the sy-datum in the variable sdate.

If thats the case then change the statment to v_str = sy-datum.

If your requirment is someother just give a clear explanation , i couldnt understand from above explanation.

Regards,

Aditya.

Hi,

Use field symbols. I have modified your code and its working now.

DATA: SDATE TYPE STRING,
        STR_DATE TYPE STRING,
        V_STR TYPE STRING.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <a> type sy-datum.

V_STR = 'sy-datum'.
ASSIGN (v_str) to <a>.
STR_DATE = ' ersda = sy-datum'.
IF STR_DATE CS V_STR.
    SDATE = <a>.
ENDIF.
WRITE:/ SDATE.

This way you can store any system variable in V_STR and SDATE will get its value and not the name of the variable.

Hello Ranjit.

This statement

STR_DATE = ' ersda = sy-datum'

will not pass the value of current date.

Make use of concatenate statement.

CONCATENATE ' Ersda ' sy-datum into STR_DATE.

Regards.

hi,

a little editing needed in above code to allow it to work for all variables.

In declaring field symbol,

FIELD-SYMBOLS <a> TYPE DATA.

I used type sy-datum above so it will work for only that field. Declare as TYPE DATA then it will work for all variables.

And 1 more important thing,

do not use str_date = 'ersda = sy-datum' directly,

Instead use,

CONCATENATE 'ersda = ' sy-datum INTO str_date.

Don't sure to understand you requirement, are you willing to dynamically interpret a string which contains reference to system variables ?

If yes then search the string for occurence of "SY-" (converting to uppercase) then extract the full name(s) of system field (e.g. SY-DATUM) by searching next separator (space, ")" or end of string). Then replace this string with the actual value (using an ASSIGN and a WRITE (ASSIGN (stringfound) to <fs> and WRITE <fs> to a character field)

Raymond

Hi Ranjit,

I am not sure of what you really want , But i can interpret that u want the date to be showed as 20130912 from a variable . If you want that , then the following code will do the job

DATA: V_STR TYPE STRING.

V_STR = sy-datum.
WRITE:/ V_STR.

Dear Ranjith,

Please try this.

DATA: SDATE TYPE SYDATUM,
STR_DATE TYPE STRING,
V_STR TYPE SYDATUM.

V_STR = 'sy-datum'.
STR_DATE = 'ersda=sy-datum'."
IF STR_DATE CS V_STR.
V_STR = sy-datum.
SDATE = V_STR.""sy-datum.".
ENDIF.
WRITE:/ SDATE.

Hi Sivaganesh,

I have not to pass SY-DATUM directly to any variable.

basically SY-DATUM is a part of my string stored in variable.

like that

v_str = 'ersda = sy-datum'.

get the sy-datum from v_ster and pass it another variable .

Here i need system date but i get string sy-datum in stead of its value. thats the reason.

I use field symbol.

Thanks,

Ranjit K.
