Refer to a variable via another variable

Former Member — Thu, 09 Nov 2006 23:53:35 GMT

Hi all,

I have a structure with many fields eg

begin of struc

field01

field02

fieldnn

end of struc

I then work out a variable to get to one field in struc eg

concatenate 'struc-field' lv_num into lv_temp.

(lv_temp now has 'struc-field15' in it as a value).

I would like to use something like:

move '12345' to lv_temp. (where I want the value 12345 to end up in struc-field15 not in lv_temp).

Any help will be appreciated.

Regards

Michael

Hi,

Use field-symbols ..

Ex..

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <FS>.

ASSIGN (LV_TEMP) TO <FS>.

<FS> = '1234'.

Working example..

data: begin of struc,

field1(10),

end of struc.

DATA: lv_temp type char30.

lv_temp = 'STRUC-FIELD1'.

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <FS>.

ASSIGN (LV_TEMP) TO <FS>.

<FS> = '1234'.

WRITE: / STRUC-FIELD1.

Thanks,

Naren

Thanks Narendran

I was using field symbols but was missing the brackets around lv_temp, so I couldnt get it to work.

Many thanks for your help.

Points awared.
