Difference between dereferencing a field symbol and a REF TO variable

[Former Member]

I'm confused with the difference between dereferencing field symbol variables and variables from type REF TO.

In other words, what differs from accessing a field symbol that got its referrence via ASSIGN ( ... ) and a REF TO variable via var_of_type_ref_to->*.

When it is advised to use one or the other... ?

Thanks

Hi,

as per my knowledge...

REF TO is using for Objects which are creating from classes.

field symbols directly we can use in program with out oops concept.

it may not be wrong or write. u can check with any better help in SDN.
