hi experts

i have this assign statement:

FIELD-SYMBOLS <cekko> TYPE cekko.

ASSIGN ('( ZXM06U43)CEKKO') to <cekko>.

<cekko>-usrn1 = 30.

in the third row i get runtime error GETWA_NOT_ASSIGNED

Short text:

Field symbol has not yet been assigned.

i dont understand what's wrong

thanks

amit

This is a very dirty construction to read data from memory in places where you don't have access to this data: for instance a user exit but this data is not passed as parameter.

I would recommend to NEVER use this as any change in the calling program (e.g. next SAP release) could lead to a short dump.

The error you get here indicates that structure CEKKO in program ZXM06U43 is not available, hence the assignment to the field-symbol fails.

You should be using the main program of ZXM06U43 and not ZXM06U43.

I understand from the declaration and assign statement that you are assigning the structure and not the internal table . In which case can you explain what do you mean by third row.

if ZXM06U43 is an include, donot use the include program . Use the SAP Main program

Also check for sy-subrc after the assign statement.

FIELD-SYMBOLS <cekko> TYPE cekko.

ASSIGN ('( SAP******)CEKKO') to <cekko>.

<cekko>-usrn1 = 30

Here is the sample code for an internal table assignment from the buffer

data: i_cekko like cekko occurs 0.

FIELD-SYMBOLS <CEEKO> like i_cekko.

ASSIGN ('( SAP*****)CEKKO[]') to <CEEKO>.

if sy-subrc = 0.

loop at <CEEKO> INTO WA.

Process the field value and modify the table <CEEKO>.

ENDIF.

Hi,

Try changing the assign statement like this:

ASSIGN ( ZXM06U43)CEKKO to <cekko>.

Thanks,
