Hi,

You might not have declared field symbol or work area for the internal table you are using. declare it and then try.

Only if you show that particular code , then it is easy to tell.

From the message i can tell that Fieldsymbol assignment problem.

use SY-SUBRC CHECK after Assignment.

ASSIGN MATNR to <FS>.
IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
" here you do or perform actions on <FS>  
ENDIF.

Hi

Just do it this way..

1st declare the FD.

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_amt> TYPE ANY.

then assing the value of the FD

CONCATENATE 'WA_FAGLFLEXT-HSL' l_count INTO v_fld_name.

ASSIGN (v_fld_name) TO <fs_amt>.

Use thje FD

IF sy-subrc = 0.

p_field = p_field + <fs_amt>.

ENDIF.

From what has been said previously - the code is attempting to access a field symbol that has not been assigned to a field or work area. It is not possible to say why without you posting your code segment or the relevant part of the short dump message.

If you are working on bespoke code around standard SAP field symbols that have been changed as part of your upgrade then the field symbol may now not be used in the same manner. You could use the IF <FS> IS ASSIGNED statement to work around it - this will prevent the short-dump and let you investigate the impact further.
