Hi,

Try this..using ASSIGN COMPONENT.

FIELD-SYMBOLS <fs>.

Use the function module GET_COMPONENT_LIST to get the fieldnames of the internal table...And then store it in the internal table ITAB.

DESCRIBLE TABLE ITAB.

DATA: V_NUMC(2) TYPE N.

DO sy-tfill TIMES.

V_NUMC = SY-INDEX.

CONCATENATE 'BET' V_NUMC TO V_VARIABLE.

ASSIGN COMPONENT (V_VARIABLE) OF STRUCTURE I0008 TO <FS>.

ENDDO.

Thanks,

Naren

Thanks Naren,

i tried it, but it is not accepting v_variable.

it says, field v_variable is unknown. i declared it as

data: v_variable(8) type c.
