well there is no code

if you want to cast just use the operator for equality ("=").

this as well works for abap objects.

Hi,

Check the below code, in which a field symbol has been declared of type ANY and downcasted into type SFLIGHT at runtime.

FIELD-SYMBOLS <pt> TYPE ANY.

DATA wa_sflight TYPE sflight.

ASSIGN wa_sflight-planetype TO <pt>.

WRITE <pt>.

Hope this helps.

Reward points if found useful...!

Cheers
