Dynamic data name

Former Member — Wed, 07 Feb 2007 09:32:55 GMT

Hi all,

is it possible to create field-symbol, whose name is dynamic created?

f.e. depend on entries in specific colum in customizing table .

(loop at custom_tab into custom_stru.

field-symbols: <custom_stru-name> type any....

endloop.)

No u can't do it, you can only create a field-symbol with the same type, but only if the type is defined in dictionary:

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <MY_FIELD> TYPE ANY.

LOOP AT CUSTOM_TAB INTO CUSTOM_STRU.

  ASSIGN (CUSTOM_STRU-NAME) TO <MY_FIELD>.
 
ENDLOOP.

Juzio,

check below code

REPORT demo_field_symbols_stat_assign .

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <f1> TYPE ANY, <f2> TYPE i.

DATA: text(20) TYPE c VALUE 'Hello, how are you?',

num TYPE i VALUE 5,

BEGIN OF line1,

col1 TYPE f VALUE '1.1e+10',

col2 TYPE i VALUE '1234',

END OF line1,

line2 LIKE line1.

ASSIGN text TO <f1>.

ASSIGN num TO <f2>.

DESCRIBE FIELD <f1> LENGTH <f2>.

WRITE: / <f1>, 'has length', num.

ASSIGN line1 TO <f1>.

ASSIGN line2-col2 TO <f2>.

MOVE <f1> TO line2.

ASSIGN 'LINE2-COL2 =' TO <f1>.

WRITE: / <f1>, <f2>.

Pls. mark if useful.
