Create DATA

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have a similar code as this:

DATA: dref TYPE REF TO data.

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <l_fs_po> TYPE ANY.

CASE i_datasource.

WHEN 'case1'.

CREATE DATA dref TYPE struct_1.

ASSIGN dref->* TO <l_fs_po>.

WHEN 'case2'.

CREATE DATA dref TYPE struct_1.

ASSIGN dref->* TO <l_fs_po>.

' more cases here

ENDCASE

<l_fs_po>-fieldname1 = 'valuehere'.

I got a compilation error message that <l_fs_po> has no structure and therefore does not have

a component fieldname1. Doesn't it consider that I declared <l_fs_po> as of type ANY?

did I miss anything here? or is there another alternative so I could change my code and achieve

the same objective.

My objective is to assign the structure at runtime to a variable.

Any help will be very much appreciated.

Thanks,

Rose

hi Rose,

"Doesn't it consider that I declared <l_fs_po> as of type ANY?"

yes it does, this is why you get the error message. The exact structure of <l_fs_po> will only be known at runtime and NOT at compiler time. So this <l_fs_po>-fieldname1 = 'valuehere'. have no chance to wrok, you have to do:

ASSIGN COMPONENT 'field' OF STRUCTURE <l_fs_po> TO <field_symbol>.

hope this helps
