Dynamic column name

[Former Member]

hi experts,

DATA: temp(20) VALUE 'DATA',

i TYPE I VALUE 1,

J(2) type c.

LOOP AT l_t_tsi.

J = I.

CONCATENATE TEMP J INTO COLNAME.

itab-(COLNAME) = l_t_tsi-time_series_value.

i = i + 1.

ENDLOOP.

My internal table (itab) has fields data1(20), data2(20), data3(20)...

I want to generate the column names dynamically only.

The above code gives an error at this line -

itab-(COLNAME) = l_t_tsi-time_series_value.

Thanks in advance,

Bijal

Hi,

If your aim is to refer to a internal table field dynamically you can do it.

Look at the code segment below -

DATA: temp(20) VALUE 'DATA',

i TYPE I VALUE 1,

J(2) type c.

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <ls_data>.

LOOP AT l_t_tsi.

J = I.

CONCATENATE TEMP J INTO COLNAME.

<b>ASSIGN COMPONENT colname OF itab TO <ls_data>.

<ls_data> = l_t_tsi-time_series_value.</b>

*itab-(COLNAME) = l_t_tsi-time_series_value.

i = i + 1.

ENDLOOP.
