Internal Table Field as a Parameter

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have a internal table as shown below.

Data : Begin of itab occurs 0,

w1 type i

w2 type i,

w3 type i,

w4 type i,

end of itab.

data : temp type i.

My query is I want to assign a numeric to the fields in ITAB depending upon the value of temp.

If temp = 1

itab-w1 = 1.

elseif temp = 2

itab-w2 = 1

elseif temp = 3

itab-w3 = 1.

endif.

I have 72 fields like this.

I want to concatenate a 'W' & temp into a character and pass this as parameter to Internal Table field.

Please let me know if the above scenario is possible.

Thank you all in advance

Hello Sandy,

Using Field symbols, this can be achieved very easily

Try this:

DATA: 
TEMP TYPE N,
FNAME TYPE CHAR3.

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <FVAL> TYPE ANY.

CONCATENATE 'W' TEMP INTO FNAME. CONDENSE FNAME NO-GAPS.

ASSIGN COMPONENT FNAME OF STRUCTURE ITAB INTO <FVAL>.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
<FVAL> = 1.
ENDIF.

Hope i am clear.

yes you can...

Initially the value of temp will be 0.

now if you are increasing the value of temp (counter increament )

check for temp value before assigning as you did

ie :

If temp = 1

itab-w1 = 1.

elseif temp = 2

itab-w2 = 1

elseif temp = 3

itab-w3 = 1.

endif.
