dynamic naming for screen fields possible?

[Former Member]

Hi.

I am trying to loop through some screen fields, and hence need to dynamically name the fields. I use the following codes, but it gave me an error:

*********************************

IF MAND_CHECK = 'X' AND (TXT_FILE) IS INITIAL.

"TXT_FILE is a variable that contains the name of the screen field.

SET CURSOR FIELD TXT_FILE.

"TXT_FILE is a variable that contains the name of the screen field.

ENDIF.

*********************************

Error: Fehlerhafter logischer Ausdruck "(TXT_FILE)": Nach "(".......

Do the following:

field-symbols: <fs> type any.

assign txt_file to <fs>.

if mand_check eq 'X' and <fs> is initial.

Ok, solved on this one, with minor changes:

should be: assign (txt_file) to <fs>.

and not: assign txt_file to <fs>.

(note the parenthesis)
