How to output text symbols dynamiclly

Hi everybody,

I have a question regarding text-symbols. I implemented a form routine which should add error messages to an internal table. This internal table will be output at the end of my program using the "write" command.

The form-routine looks like the following:

form add_error_2_log using p_error_code.

data: lv_text(8) type c.

concatenate 'text-' p_error_code into lv_text.
gs_log-msgtx = lv_text.
append gs_log to gt_log.

endform.

If I output my table now using the "write" command I only get my text-symbol number as a result e.g. text-t48.

Is there any way how I can get the text of the text symbol for the output?

Thanks in advance and regards!

Martin

Hi Martin

Use field symbols to solve this.


form add_error_2_log using p_error_code.
 
data: lv_text(8) type c.

 FIELD SYMBOLS : <FS> TYPE ANY.
concatenate 'text-' p_error_code into lv_text.
Assign (lv_text) TO <FS>. 
gs_log-msgtx = <FS>.
append gs_log to gt_log.
 
endform.

Thanks

I have implemented the solution you suggested and it worked fine so far. But now I get return code 4 during assigning the the variable to the field symbol. But I don't know why. The character variable which I want assign is not empty. Do you have any suggested what could cause this error?

Thanks and regards,

Martin

Problem solved again. I didn't maintain the text symbol.
