Compare Variable value in a Variable

Former Member — Thu, 13 Mar 2014 19:35:00 GMT

Hi,

I have Variable V2 populated into another Variable V1(not value, directly the variable name).

Now I have to check the value of Variable V2.

In my case the value in V2 can be 'X' or space.

So how to check the value of V2.

Is there anything like IF value(V1) = 'X' comparison.

Data is dynamically populated into V1 i.e., it can have 'V2', 'V3'...etc

Thanks & Regards,

Adithya M

Hi Adithya,

your problem can be solved by using the assigning statement.

See this link to the help-site:

Here is the copy-paste coding from the site:

DATA: BEGIN OF LINE,
        COL1 TYPE I VALUE '11',
        COL2 TYPE I VALUE '22',
        COL3 TYPE I VALUE '33',
      END OF LINE.

DATA COMP(5) VALUE 'COL3'.

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <F1>, <F2>, <F3>.

ASSIGN LINE TO <F1>.
ASSIGN COMP TO <F2>.

DO 3 TIMES.
ASSIGN COMPONENT SY-INDEX OF STRUCTURE <F1> TO <F3>.
WRITE <F3>.
ENDDO.

ASSIGN COMPONENT <F2> OF STRUCTURE <F1> TO <F3>.
WRITE / <F3>.

The output is:

11 22 33

Have fun

Thank you Florian.

It got resolved by the below way,

If V1 & V2 are variables

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <FS> TYPE any.

V2 = 'X'

V1 = 'V2'.

ASSIGN (V1) TO <FS>.

If <FS> is ASSIGNED then <FS> will be having its value as 'X'.
