Dynamic update statement

[Former Member]

Hello,

How do I write a dynamic UPDATE statement that I need to look like this:

DATA: TABLE_NAME(10),

COL_NAME1(10),

COL_NAME2(10),

COL_NAME3(10).

table_name = 'TABLEX'

COL_NAME1 = 'COL1X'.

COL_NAME2 = 'COL2X'.

COL_NAME3 = 'COL3'X.

UPDATE table_name SET col_name1 = VAR1 col_name2 = VAR2 col_name3 = VAR3.

table_name = 'TABLEY'

COL_NAME1 = 'COL1Y'.

COL_NAME2 = 'COL2Y'.

COL_NAME3 = 'COL3Y'.

UPDATE table_name SET col_name1 = VAR1 col_name2 = VAR2 col_name3 = VAR3.

Thank you.

Hi,

Use field symbol and pass the table name to the field symbol and use it instead of table name.

Hi

if It can't do a dynamic updating for option SET, u need to create a work-area in order to update the table:

DATA: TABLE_NAME(10),
           COL_NAME1(10),
           COL_NAME2(10),
           COL_NAME3(10).

DATA: T_WHERE(100) OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.

DATA: DYN_WA TYPE REF TO DATA.

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <FS_WA> TYPE ANY,
                            <FS_COL> TYPE ANY.


able_name = 'TABLEY'
COL_NAME1 = 'COL1Y'.
COL_NAME2 = 'COL2Y'.
COL_NAME3 = 'COL3Y'.


CREATE DATA DYN_WA TYPE (TABLE_NAME).
ASSIGN DYN_WA->* TO <FS_WA>.


SELECT * FROM (TABLE_NAME) INTO <FS_WA> WHERE (T_WHERE).
  
   PERFORM ASSIGN_NEW_VALUE USING: COL_NAM1 VAR1,
                                                                    COL_NAM2 VAR2,
                                                                    COL_NAM2 VAR3.
   UPDATE (TABLE_NAME) FROM <FS_WA>.
ENDSELECT.

FORM ASSIGN_NEW_VALUE USING PCOL PVAR.
   
   ASSIGN COMPONENT PCOL OF STRUCTURE <FS_WA> TO <FS_FIELD>.
   IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
     <FS_FIELD> = PVAR.
   ENDIF.
ENDFORM.

If you're using the release 6.00 u can do a dynamic updating with SET option:

DATA: TABLE_NAME(10),
           COL_NAME1(10),
           COL_NAME2(10),
           COL_NAME3(10).

DATA: T_WHERE(100) OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA: T_SET(100) OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.

UPDATE (TABLE_NAME) SET (T_SET) WHERE (T_WHERE).

Anyway see the help for UPDATE statament
