How to fill table fields dynamically

[Former Member]

Hi everybody,

small question: We take a

transparant

table. This table has the following fields:

mandt
matnr
text
batchchar1
batchchar2
batchchar3

Now we obtain batchcharacteristics using a function. This function returns the following

internal

table:

matnr - atnam - atwrt

1234567 - batchchar1 - 5
1234567 - batchchar2 - 7
1234567 - batchchar3 - bla

My question is: is there an easy way to move the values of the characteristics batchchar1, 2 and 3 to there equivalent fields in our transparant table? Please note that 'batchchar1' is a value in our

internal

table of field atnam,

ánd

it is a field in our transparant table in which we would like to place the value 5.

The main point is that I'd like to fill the values 5, 7 and bla into the corresponding fieldnames of the batchcharacteristics in our transparant table.

Any ideas?

Cheers and thanks

Laurens

ps: because of the large amount of fields of the batchcharacteristics, a hardcoded definition of the transparant table fields isn't really an option.

Hi Laurens

You can use field symbols for this purpose.

e.g.

FIELD-SYMBOLS <field> .

ASSIGN (itab-atnam) TO <field> .
IF sy-subrc = 0 .
  <field> = itab-atwrt .
ENDIF .

Here is a small piece of code.

<b>TABLES: zzzz. "transparent table

DATA: t_matnr TYPE zzzz OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.

DATA: BEGIN OF t_values OCCURS 0, "Batch Characteristics

matnr TYPE ausp-objek,

atnam TYPE cabn-atnam,

atwrt TYPE ausp-atwrt,

END OF t_values.

DATA: w_field(60) TYPE c.

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <tablefield>.

• Insert logic for populating t_values here

SORT t_values BY matnr.

LOOP AT t_values.

AT NEW matnr.

CLEAR t_matnr.

t_matnr-matnr = t_values-matnr.

ENDAT.

CONCATENATE 'T_VALUES-' t_values-atnam INTO w_field.

TRANSLATE w_field TO UPPER CASE.

ASSIGN (w_field) TO <tablefield>.

<tablefield> = t_values-atwrt.

AT END OF matnr.

APPEND t_matnr.

ENDAT.

ENDLOOP.

MODIFY zzzz FROM TABLE t_matnr.</b>

replace ZZZZ with your transparent table

I've used field symbols for this purpose but I think I did a few things wrong. I'll try this first thing in the morning!

Cheers and thanks!
