how to code this using FIELD SYMBOL ?

Former Member — Thu, 28 Sep 2006 19:04:58 GMT

Hello All,

I never used field symbols before and I think this is where I should use field symbols in my program.

I have a selection parameter period (p_period) and based on the p_period value(XX), I need to display the HSLXX, KSLXX from table GLT0 using field symbols. Can anyboby help me?

Thanks,

Chandni Reddy

Right, you can use field-symbols, here is a example.



report zrich_0002.

data: xGLT0  type  GLT0 .

data: field_name(20) type c.

field-symbols: <fs> .

parameters: p_per(2) type n.


* Read a line from table
select Single * from glt0 into xglt0.

* Build the field name that you want to access
concatenate 'XGLT0-HSL' p_per into field_name.

* Assign it
assign (field_name) to <fs>.

* Write it
write:/ <fs>.

Regards,

Hi,

data: var type string.

field-symbols: <fs>.

CONCATENATE 'GLT0-HSL' p_period into var.

ASSIGN (VAR) to <FS>.

WRITE: / <FS>.

Thanks,
