Assign values to bapi structure dynamically

[PS_1978]

Hi,

I have to use the BAPI, BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA to extend the material to different plant specific views. I have to use the structure BAPI_MARC and other structures in order to do this. But the values to be passed to the structure BAPI_MARC are not fixed. These values will be maintained in a custom table against the structure name and field name for a particular plant.

In the program I have to extract the structure name and field name for a corresponding plant from custom table and fill the corresponding value in BAPI structure BAPI_MARC.

Now, internal table in the program is having these details.

How can I fill the bapi structure BAPI_MARC based on this information.

For example, if in custom table, value 0001 is maintained against the field PUR_GROUP, I have to fill the field PUR_GROUP in strcutre BAPI_MARC with 0001.

Hope I am clear in explaining the problem. Please let me know how to aciheve this?

Best Regards,

Kumar.

extract the custom table entries to a internal table .

(i assume that the internal table has two fields, NAME and VALUE and name holds PUR_GROUP and value holds 0001)

field-symbols: <fs> type BAPI_MARC ,

<field> type any .

loop at customitab into itab_wa.

assign component itab_wa-name of structure <fs> to <field> .

if <field> is assigned .

<field> = itab_wa-value .

endif .

endloop .

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. But assign is not succesful. Could you help me in solving this please?

do you mean if <field> assigned is failing?

what is the value of itab_wa-name in the following stt.

assign component itab_wa-name of structure <fs> to <field> .

Hi,

I have tried to implement that in a sample program first. Please have a look at the code below.

DATA: BEGIN OF line,

col1 TYPE i,

col2 TYPE i,

col3 TYPE i,

END OF line.

DATA comp(4) TYPE c VALUE 'COL3'.

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <f1> TYPE ANY, <f3> TYPE ANY.

ASSIGN line TO <f1>.

ASSIGN COMPONENT comp OF STRUCTURE <f1> TO <f3>.

IF <f3> IS ASSIGNED.

ENDIF.

I checked in the debugging mode and the value of <f3> in debugging mode is 0, but not line-col3.

when <f3> is assinged, you are not assigning the field name to the field-symbol.

Hi,

I am not much familiar with field symbols. If you dont mind, could you please help me in getting the value line-col3 in field symbol <f3>? So, that if I assign some value to <f3>, it should get reflected in line-col3 field.

Thank you very much for your help.

Best Regards,

Kumar.
