Hi,

If you know the structure that the table needs to be moved to then it is possible with assign..

pls check the code below...

REPORT yytest88 LINE-COUNT 20 NO STANDARD PAGE HEADING.

TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_test,

f1(10),

f2(10),

END OF ty_test.

DATA : wa_type(10) VALUE 'TY_TEST'.

DATA : BEGIN OF itab OCCURS 0,

f(20),

END OF itab.

DATA : BEGIN OF itab1 OCCURS 0,

f(35),

END OF itab1.

FIELD-SYMBOLS : <fs1> TYPE any.

FIELD-SYMBOLS : <fs2> TYPE any.

FIELD-SYMBOLS : <fs3> TYPE any.

itab-f = '12345678901234567890'.

APPEND itab.

itab-f = '09876543210987654321'.

APPEND itab.

LOOP AT itab.

ASSIGN itab-f TO <fs1> CASTING TYPE (wa_type).

IF sy-subrc = 0.

do.

assign component sy-index of structure <fs1> to <fs2>.

if sy-subrc = 0.

if itab1-f is initial.

concatenate itab1-f <fs2> into itab1-f.

else.

concatenate itab1-f <fs2> into itab1-f separated by 'BREAK'.

endif.

else.

exit.

endif.

enddo.

APPEND itab1.

clear : sy-subrc, itab1-f.

ENDIF.

ENDLOOP.

LOOP AT itab1.

WRITE 😕 itab1-f.

ENDLOOP.

DATA:

rec1 (2500),

it_p0002 TYPE TABLE OF pa0002,

wa_p0002 LIKE LINE OF it_p0002,

table(15),

leng TYPE i.

table = 'P0002'.

FIELD-SYMBOLS <fs> TYPE ANY.

ASSIGN (table) TO <fs>.

SELECT SINGLE * FROM pa0002 INTO wa_p0002 WHERE pernr = '1'.

MOVE-CORRESPONDING wa_p0002 TO <fs>.

Move <fs> to rec1.(this is working but still not getting the entire record its only moving 255 characters)

please chek it out and tell a solution according to this

Hi Hari ,

Here is the code for the same

DATA:

rec1(2500),

it_p0002 TYPE TABLE OF pa0002,

wa_p0002 LIKE LINE OF it_p0002,

table(15),

leng TYPE i.

table = 'P0002'.

FIELD-SYMBOLS <fs> TYPE ANY.

ASSIGN (table) TO <fs>.

SELECT SINGLE * FROM pa0002 INTO wa_p0002 WHERE pernr = '1'.

MOVE wa_p0002 TO rec1.

write:/ rec1+0(200) ,

/ rec1+200(200) ,

/ rec1+400(200).

If you try to print rec1 then it will display only 255 char , so you need to use offset to get the entire stuff.

Arun

Hi Arun,

it didnt work the code you have send had errors

MOVE wa_p0002 TO rec1. here wa_p0002 is a structure and rec1 is a string

it is showing the following error

The data object cannot be converted to a character-type object.

Hi Hari ,

It might be some version conflicts , as the program worked fine in my system , any why replace the write statement with the one below

write:/ wa_p0002+0(200) ,

/ wa_p0002+200(200) ,

/ wa_p0002+400(200).

and do tell the result.

Assign points if helpful.

Hello Hari

Every solution thus far provided will run you into trouble as soon as you convert to Unicode system. Therefore if you are already working on SAP release >= 6.20 (4.70) then you should use the methods of class CL_ABAP_CONTAINER_UTILITIES, in your case use method FILL_CONTAINER_C.

TRY SUMTHING LIKE DIS:

DATA: BEGIN OF IT,

FIELD1(4) TYPE C,

FIELD2 TYPE I,

END OF IT.

IT-FIELD1 = 'A1'.

IT-FIELD2 = 1.

DATA ZSTR(20) TYPE C.

DATA A TYPE I.

DATA B TYPE I.

DATA ZSTR1 TYPE C.

MOVE IT-FIELD1 TO ZSTR.

A = STRLEN( ZSTR ).

MOVE IT-FIELD2 TO ZSTR1.

B = STRLEN( ZSTR1 ).

MOVE IT-FIELD2 TO ZSTR+A(ZSTR1).

WRITE ZSTR.

RGDS.

REWARD POINTS IF IT HELPS.

Hi,

Use the following FM.

Data : v_string type string length 1020.

CALL FUNCTION 'SO_STRUCT_TO_CHAR'

EXPORTING

ip_struct = structure name

IMPORTING

EP_STRING = v_String.

Hope this helps.

Reward Points if useful....

Yes, this would be the correct method.

But, Can you please tell me, how to use the above method in situations such as :

Select * from PA0002

into table li_infotype_records

for all entries in...............

where pernr=......................

PA0002 - is a structure having both type 'c' fields and type 'p' fields.

li_infotype_records is a String.

Please respond.

Thanks

Vijay
