Looping a Field symbol.

ramiwal_dsilva — Thu, 21 Aug 2014 12:20:56 GMT

Hi,

Can someone explain what to me what the following statement means?

Data: i_tab TYPE STANDARD TABLE.

I looked it up and and it says that it is an ABAP built in type which is generic, but i fail to understand its usage.

And here is my scenario.

Field-symbols: <IT_DETAILS > TYPE STANDARD TABLE,

<lines> TYPE (Transparent dictionary table)

LOOP AT <lt_details> ASSIGNING <lines>.

move <lines>-field to l_variable.

Endloop

Upon execution, I get a dump at the Loop statement saying that there is an 'ASSIGN_TYPE_CONFLICT'.You attempted to assign a field to a typed field symbol,but the field does not have the required type.

How to correct the error

Adapt the type of the field symbol to the type of the field or use an

untyped field symbol or use the "CASTING" addition.

Can someone explain the correct way to type the field symbol and implement the loop construct?

Any help will be highly appreciated

Hello,

Can you tell us the type of the variable l_variable?

Example:

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <pos_data> TYPE ANY,

<gt_pos_data> TYPE table.

DATA : lt_csks LIKE gt_csks WITH HEADER LINE.

LOOP AT <gt_pos_data> ASSIGNING <pos_data>.

MOVE-CORRESPONDING <pos_data> TO lt_csks.

ENDLOOP.
