Field symbol reference to mainprogram ECC6

[chaiphon]

Hi All,

I have to develop a customized function module to calucualte the interest rate.

because sap standard program doesn't pass the date value into function module so I need to get the value by using field symbol and reference back to the main program.

Normally I can use the code

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_date> type sy-datum.

assign ('(SAPLDUZI)WF_VONDT') to <fs_date>.

to get date value, but I cannot do that in ECC 6.

even though in debug mode if I put (SAPLDUZI)WF_VONDT into variable tab, it won't show the value. However, If I return to the main program, it will show the value.

How can I reference to main program's variable?

Thanks, Phon

Hi Phon,

May be you can use Memory Id concept. Just a thought...

Thanks, but then I have to change an SAP standard program. That would be my last choice.

Try This..

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_date> type sy-datum.

DATA: l_fld(50) VALUE '(SAPLDUZI)WF_VONDT'.

ASSIGN (l_fld) TO <fs_date>.

Thanks Sri,

Same result, I tried that code already.

Is it because WF_VONDT a local varible?

You cannot use field symbol to referrence to local variable.
