Syntax for changing column-name

Former Member — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 08:31:03 GMT

Hi All,

I would like to delete an internal table with changing columns. Could you please suggest what should be done if I have to execute the following code.

DELETE lr_rep->mt_sel_prg_plans WHERE (ls_sel_value-name) <> ls_sel_value-value.

Thanks and Regards,

Varun.

Have a look an Txn ABAPHELP key word "DELETE itab": There it says:

The dynamic specification of components using character-type data objects in parentheses is not supported here.

I would do the following:


LOOP AT lr_rep->mt_sel_prg_plans ASSIGNING <wa>.
  ASSIGN COMPONENT ls_sel_value-name TO <fs>.
  IF <fs> EQ ls_sel_value-value.
    CLEAR <fs>.
  ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.

LOOP AT my_table INTO my_work_area. " or ASSIGNING TO <my_work_area>
  ASSIGN COMPONENT (variable_containing_column_name) OF STRUCTURE my_work_area INTO  <field_symbol>.
  CLEAR <field_symbol>.
ENDLOOP.
