field symbol problem

rahul2000 — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 06:13:14 GMT

Dear all,

I am facing a problem wherein i want to modify <FS_DYN_TABLE> from <FS_DYN_TABLE_TEMP>.It is getting modified,i.e the column for which i want it modified is getting modified but remaining values of that corresponding row are not being displayed.

my declaration for above two are as follows:-

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <FS_DYN_TABLE> TYPE STANDARD TABLE,"Dynamic table

<FS_DYN_TABLE_TEMP> TYPE ANY ,.Temporary Dynamic table

My syntax was

MODIFY <FS_DYN_TABLE> FROM <FS_DYN_TABLE_TEMP> INDEX W_INDEX TRANSPORTING PERCN.

If i give

MODIFY <FS_DYN_TABLE> FROM <FS_DYN_TABLE_TEMP> TRANSPORTING PERCN ,it gives an error saying :-

"The specified type has no structure and therefore no component called

"PERCN". component called "PERCN".

How to resolve this problem?

It's not entirely clear to me what your problem is. <FS_DYN_TABLE_TEMP> is not a table. It is a work area/structure with the same structure as a record in <FS_DYN_TABLE>?

I guess somehow you've set the PERCN field in <FS_DYN_TABLE_TEMP>.

Try:


READ TABLE <fs_dyn_table> INTO <fs_dyn_table_temp> INDEX w_index.
...then set the PERCN field of <fs_dyn_table_temp>.
MODIFY <fs_dyn_table> FROM <fs_dyn_table_temp> INDEX w_index.

Dear Matt,

Thanks a lot.u have got my point exactly.

the only problem here is how do i set the PERCN field of <fs_dyn_table_temp>.

What is the syntax?

<fs_dyn_table_temp>-percn wil throw me an error.

what to do regarding this?

Dear Matt,

Thhannks a tooon.

My issue has been resolved.

Actually before modifying i had not read the previous values into TEMP.

So they were getting wiped off..

Now its all in Place.Purfect!!

Full points rewarded to u!!

Thanks, Rahul.

One point. You asked "the only problem here is how do i set the PERCN field of <fs_dyn_table_temp>."

The answer is, for future reference,

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <l_percn> TYPE ANY. " Or you can specify the type
ASSIGN COMPONENT 'PERCN' OF STRUCTURE <fs_dyn_table_temp> TO <l_percn>.

Then any changes you make to <l_percn> will also be in <fs_dyn_table_temp>.

Regards

matt
