Read table fields using Field Symbols

[Former Member]

I am using COSS tables , I want to read the fields WTG001…..WOG016 . I just want to read the fields where ever it has some value . How can I achieve this task using field symbols ? I just want where ever I find record , I have to get out of select .

I am thinking it should be like

Select ( using field symbols )

If not find

Continue

Else

Exit .

Endselect

Can some one post me the code .

Cheers

I don't think that its a good idea to do it that way, and I don't think it is possible to do a dynamic field list, try something like this.\

report zrich_0001.

data: icoss type table of coss with header line.
data: field_name(30) type c.
data: index(4) type c.
data: n(2) type n.

field-symbols: <fs>.


start-of-selection.

  select * into table icoss from coss
               up to 100 rows.       " For Testing

  loop at icoss.

    do.
      n = sy-index.
      index = n.
      concatenate 'WTG0' index into field_name.
      assign component field_name of structure icoss to <fs>.
      if sy-subrc <> 0.
        exit.
      endif.
      if not <fs> is initial.
        write:/ field_name, 'has a value', <fs>.
      endif.
    enddo.

  endloop.

Hi Usman,

If you are not retrieving any data but just interested in checking if a value exists.. you could use the following ugly SELECT too..

select * from COSS up to 1 rows
         where ( WTGO01 gt 0 or WTGO01 gt 0 or & so on ).
endselect.
if sy-subrc eq 0.
" has a value.
endif.

I used the following logic and able to read the results for table . Now I have opposite requirement . for example .

After reading the value from main internal table using field symbol . I have to assign it back to other internal table different fields .

I am getting an input file which has different record it contain the values from WTG001 TO WTG016.

I am declaring another internal table with same structure , I am reading what is the next empty value in table lets say I find ‘WTG005’ . In my excel sheet ‘WTG001’ has value . remember its going to be different for every record in my excel sheet .

Now using the old logic I decide next available empty field is ‘wtg005’ . I have to assign the value of main internal table to the separate field of new( 2nd internal table ) using fild symbols .

I hope I explain you , if you still need clarification do let me know .

Cheers

Actually you don't need filed symbols here, DO... VARYING is more sufficient:

<b>DATA</b>: wtg TYPE coss-wtg001.
<b>DO </b> 16 <b>TIMES</b>
  <b>VARYING</b> wtg <b>FROM</b> coss-wtg001 <b>NEXT</b> coss-wtg002.

<b>ENDDO</b>.

hi,

i and doing the same thing with table cosp. this is how you can do.

data: begin of lst_coss,
       wtg001 like coss-wtg001,
       wtg002 like coss-wtg002,
       wtg003 like coss-wtg003,
       wtg004 like coss-wtg004,
       wtg005 like coss-wtg005,
       wtg006 like coss-wtg006,
       wtg007 like coss-wtg007,
       wtg008 like coss-wtg008,
       wtg009 like coss-wtg009,
       wtg0010 like coss-wtg0010,
       wtg0011 like coss-wtg0011,
       wtg0012 like coss-wtg0012,
       wtg0013 like coss-wtg0013,
       wtg0014 like coss-wtg0014,
       wtg0015 like coss-wtg0015,
       wtg0016 like coss-wtg0016,
   end of lst_coss.

data: lit_coss type table coss with header line.

data: total like coss-wtg001.

field-symbol: <fs>.

select * from coss into table lit_coss upto 10 rows.

loop at lit_coss.
   lst_coss = lit_coss.
   do 16 times.
       assign component sy-index of structure lst_csoo to <fs>.
       total = total + <fs>.
   while.

   write:/0 'object: ' 10 lit_coss-objnr,
                 25 'tran. curr', 40 total.

   clear: lst_coss, total.

endloop.

i hope this will work for you.

Thanks,

I am doing almost the same thing , but I want to assign the value of lit_coss-WTG009 field to lst_coss-WTG001 ( 2nd internal table _ .. USING feild symbol .

How Can I achive this task ..

Well I don’t think after reading table using field symbol , and get its value in field symbol and assign it back to another internal table new field using field symbol . I also came across this kind of situation but we use command "DO" Syntax was like that

Do No times varying var1 from table_variable next last_table variable

Hope this’ll give you some idea .

Thanks

Usman,

I did not get your requirement. Can you please explain in detail ( with example if possible )?

Thanks,
