Placeholder for variable

Former Member — Fri, 19 Jan 2007 14:13:39 GMT

Hi!

I need a <b>placeholder for my variable</b>, and this is the situation:

Output fields on screen: OUT1, OUT2, etc. Instead of hard-coding

OUT1 = 'some_text'.
OUT2 = 'some_text'.

...can I use a placeholder for the variable name of the itself, e.g.

data: fieldname(4) value 'OUTX', sytabix(1).

loop at i_text.

sytabix = sy-tabix.
move sytabix to fieldname+3(1). "OUT1, OUT2, OUT3 etc.

<fieldname> = i_text-text. "meaning OUT1 | OUT2... = i_text-text.

endloop.

Thanks for all help!

You can use FIELD-SYMBOLS. Together with CONCATENATE (to create fieldname) you should be able to do it.

Hi!

Thank you for your advice

I have tried to use <fs>, but I can't seem to get it quite right... Perhaps you can give me a code example?

field-symbols : <fs>.

data : begin of t_out occurs 0,

f1(5),

end of t_out.

data : begin of fl_name,

x1(7) value 't_out-f',

x2(1) type n,

end of fl_name.

t_out-f1 = 'AA1'.

append t_out.

t_out-f1 = 'AA2'.

append t_out.

t_out-f1 = 'AA3'.

append t_out.

loop at t_out.

fl_name-x2 = sy-tabix.

assign (fl_name) to <fs>.

write 😕 fl_name, <fs>.

endloop.
