Memory reference of a Variable possible?

[former_member214878]

Hello,

I am in middle of something where I need to get the value of a variable by referencing it.

For example -

Data: gv_var_val           type c length 1,

          gv_var_name      type c length 10.   

At run-time I will have gv_var_name = 'GV_VAR_VAL'. but I will need to get the value of a "GV_VAR_VAL" which might be 0/1/2/3......

I tried field-symbols but failed to manage it properly ....

can u please assist me a little?

Thanks,

Ravi Sonar.

move 'GV_VAR_VAL' to w_field   (char 20).

assign (w_field) to <field>

and now <field> contain the value of GV_VAR_VAL.

Hi,

As suggested, using assign statement with () will help you to get value.

Hi Ravindra,

Field symbols are the direct memory locations for the values of the field.These are just like pointers.

so by using field symbols you can achieve it.

Just use

DATA: gv_var_val  TYPE c LENGTH 1,
       gv_var_name TYPE c LENGTH 10.
 FIELD-SYMBOLS <fs> TYPE ANY.
 gv_var_val = 'A'.
 gv_var_name = 'GV_VAR_VAL'.
 ASSIGN (gv_var_name) TO <fs>.
 WRITE: / <fs>.

Another way of doing it

DATA: DREF      TYPE REF TO CHAR5,
          DATA       TYPE C LENGTH 5 VALUE 'TEXT1'.


   GET REFERENCE OF DATA INTO DREF.


   WRITE / DREF->*.
