Respected Members,

I had read one blog some days back base on the above topic that is system variables.

In that it is clearly mention how you can play with system variables but nw i am unable to find that blog.

In that it has mention u can view it through call stack of debugging mode.

IF somebody please forward me the link of that blog then it will grateful to me.

THanks a lot.

While debugging If the program is loaded in memory, it can read a variable of the program writing in the prompt of debug:

(<PROGRAM NAM>)<VARIABLE NAME>

So if it needs to do in abap code it has to use the field-symbols:

DATA: VARIABLE_NAME(30).

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <FS_FIELD> TYPE ANY.

VARIABLE_NAME = '(SAPMV45A)VBAK'.

ASSIGN (VARIABLE_NAME) TO <FS_FIELD>.

Now <FS_FIELD> is a pointer linked to the variable VBAK of program SAPMV45A

If you need to see an internal table, so not a flat variable:

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <ITAB> TYPE TABLE.

VARIABLE_NAME = '(SAPMV45A)XVBAP[]'.

ASSIGN (VARIABLE_NAME) TO <ITAB>.
