deep structure - assign component

[Former Member]

hi,

I have a structure like:

data: begin of wa_xxx,
        rec like bkpf,
        iba(10) TYPE c,
        bba(10) TYPE c,
      END OF wa_xxx.

Now I would like to assign the strucutre like:

field-symbols: <fs_1> like wa_xxx

...

loop....

assign component sy-tabix of structure <fs_1> to <fs_2>.

...
endloop.

The first compoment is rec, but I need <fs_1>-rec-...(fields of the structure)

How can I do this? Any Idea?

thanks

Markus,

I am not sure why you are going for complex approach here as the structure you have mentioned here is not a deep strcture, its a notmal work area.

I would suggest you use a INCLUDE STRUCTURE BKPF , so that you can directly use wa_xxx-fields from BKPF. That way you don't need to deal with it in a complex manner.

If my understanding is wrong, coule you please explain in detail.

A deep structure is one which has a internal table inside a internal table.

Ravi

Hi Markus,

I'm not sure exactly what you mean but here's some code:

types: begin of ty_xxx,

rec like bkpf,

iba(10) TYPE c,

bba(10) TYPE c,

END OF ty_xxx.

data t type table of ty_xxx.

data d type ty_xxx.

field-symbols: <el> type any, <str> type ty_xxx.

• you can assign the whole structure to a field-symbol...

loop at t assigning <str>.

• you can refer directly to eleemnets within the filed-symbol structure...

if <str>-bba is initial. endif.

do.

• you can loop through the individual components of the field symbol structure

assign component sy-tabix of structure <str> to <el>.

if sy-subrc <> 0.

exit.

endif.

• you can operate on the current element within the structure

if <el> is initial. endif.

enddo.

endloop.
