Code to equate table value to work area field name

[PankajVPatil]

Hello Experts,

How to match a certain value fetched from table to the internal table field.

For instance: transparent table has a column containing values as

AMOUNT

QUANTITY

there is another work area structure associated with different internal table consisting of amount and quantity fields.

Now depending on whether the record from transparent table has fetched AMOUNT or QUANTITY, i have to read either the amount or quantity value from the work area.

Can any one please suggest a technique to do it?

Thanks,

Pankaj

You can do this using field symbols

field-symbols <comp>.

assign component 'AMOUNT' of structure wa_some_structure to <comp>.
if sy-subrc = 0.
   "here <comp> holds value of AMOUNT
endif.

You can replace 'AMOUNT' with any variable which holds the name of component you want to access.

Hi

Try This:

suppose you have zitab table as trans. Table and another table itab1 with work area wa.

First you need to select values from Zitab to an internal table say itab.

sort itab by <field name>

loop at itab.

read table itab1 into wa with key quantity = itab-quantity

amount = itab-amount.

endloop.

This will read table itab1 where quantity and amount from itab table matches.

hope this will work for you.

thanks
