Modifying Internal Table row - The column name is dynamic

[Former Member]

Hi,

I need to update the internal table as described below,

Assume that i have 10 columns in my internal table and i need to modifying the column value in row, which is dynamic.

for example, i'm writing it in Subroutine and it has 3 formal parameter

1) Key field value

2) Column name

3) Value of the column

in my subroutine i need to write code to modify the row, which should handle the columns dynamically.

Samples,

7th record i need to modify the 4th column value.

4th record i need to modify the 9th column value.

Please guide me to handle this requirement.write me if i'm not clear.

For the column check the ASSIGN statement:

No system here, but I think it is:

ASSIGN COMPONENT <index> OF STRUCTURE <structure> TO <field-symbol>.

For the row:

READ TABLE <itab> INDEX <index> INTO <work area>.

--> For your 1. example you could write:

READ TABLE <itab> INDEX 7 INTO <work area>.

ASSIGN COMPONENT 4 OF STRUCTURE <work area> TO <field-symbol>.

<field symbol> now points to the 4th column of the 7th row.
