ABAP 'WITH' Clause

Former Member — Wed, 10 Jan 2007 20:34:13 GMT

Does ABAP have something like a WITH clause?

Other languages allow me to something like ...

WITH myrec DO

{do some processing}

ENDWITH

I find that I am ...

wa-field1 = 'newdata1'.

wa-field1 = 'newdata2'.

...

wa-field99 = 'newdata99'.

... seems very labourious

WHILE....ENDWHILE.

LOOP....ENDLOOP.

Nothing like that, but of cousre your requirement can be done in ABAP other ways. For example, If you want to dynamically fill a field, you can use the ASSIGN COMPONENT statement. I would really have to understand your required in order to point you in the right direction. Can you explain a bit more?

Hi Ian,

Perhaps you can build an macro.

Syntax:

DEFINE macro.

... &1 ... &9 ...

END-OF-DEFINITION.

For example.........



report zrich_0001.

data: begin of xstruc,
      fld1(10) type c,
      fld2(10) type c,
      fld3(10) type c,
      fld4(10) type c,
      fld5(10) type c,
      end of xstruc.

data: istr type table of string with header line.
field-symbols: <fs> .

istr = 'Value A'.  append istr.
istr = 'Value B'.  append istr.
istr = 'Value C'.  append istr.
istr = 'Value D'.  append istr.
istr = 'Value E'.  append istr.


loop at istr.

  assign component sy-tabix of structure xstruc to <fs>.
  if sy-subrc <> 0.
    exit.
  endif.

  <fs> = istr.


endloop.


write:/ xstruc-fld1,
        xstruc-fld2,
        xstruc-fld3,
        xstruc-fld4,
        xstruc-fld5.

So far things look like this

data: itab type table of t_itab,

w_itab type t_itab.

w_itab-tabname = 'Tablename'.

w_itab-position = 'Pos'.

...

append w_itab to itab.

whereas it might read ...

with w_itab do

tabname = 'Tablename'.

position = 'Pos'.

endwith
