See the example program and do compare with your program :

REPORT CHAP2402.

DATA: EXTERNAL_RECORD(4000),

POSITION TYPE I,

LENGTH TYPE N.

FIELD-SYMBOLS <ENTRY>.

EXTERNAL_RECORD = '0005Smith0007Edwards0005Young'.

DO.

LENGTH = EXTERNAL_RECORD+POSITION(4).

IF LENGTH = 0.

EXIT.

ENDIF.

ADD 4 TO POSITION.

ASSIGN EXTERNAL_RECORD+POSITION(LENGTH) TO <ENTRY>.

WRITE <ENTRY>.

ADD LENGTH TO POSITION.

IF POSITION >= 4000.

EXIT.

ENDIF.

ENDDO.

I am not sure why you are getting sy-subrc = 1,issue would be at table field.

Thanks

Does this work?

ASSIGN TABLE FIELD (v_pcode) TO <fs_pcode>.

Hi Rich,

This statement working well in Development server, but in production it's returning SY-SUBRC value as 1. It's causing the issue. But in development server it's working fine.

Give me some hint, so that I can start from there.

Thanks,

Does the field exist in production server? Actually I'm not familar with this exact statement, does it point a dictioary field to the field symbol? If so, then make sure that the dictionary field exists in produciton.
