Fieldsymbol assignment

[Former Member]

Hi,

I want to perform a field symbol assign for a dynamic data type(Structure).But i am not sure how the components

of the structure need to be accessed at runtime.

Ex:

'text' - VARIABLE which contains the structure name.

...................................

DATA : ls_DATA TYPE REF TO DATA.

field-symbols: <fs_list> type any.

CREATE DATA ls_DATA TYPE (text).

assign ls_data->* to <fs_list>.

.................................................

.............................

In all the target structures a field named 'VALUE' will be present.And i want to populate it with some value.

How do i access that at runtime?

<fs_list>-VALUE cannot be used DIRECTLY?

hi,

use command:

do.
 assign component sy-index of structure <fs_list> to <f>.
 if sy-subrc <> 0.
  exit.
 endif.
...
enddo.

DO.

ASSIGN COMPONENT SY-INDEX OF (STRUCTURE) TO <FS>.

WRITE: <FS>.

ENDDO.

You need to know the column name that you want to access.

ASSIGN COMPONENT 'COLUMN1' OF STRUCTURE XXX TO <FS_ANY>.

Now, you have the value of column1 in <FS_ANY>.

You can even have a variable that holds the column name.

ASSIGN COMPONENT (COLUMN1) OF STRUCTURE XXX TO <FS_ANY>.
