Hi,

You must assign the Field symbol to any field. Otherwise ist will goes to dump.

Check this simple program.

DATA : BEGIN OF it_out,
  m011(10),
  m021(10),
  m012(10),
  m022(10),
  m013(10),
  m023(10),
END OF it_out.

DATA: my_value(10).

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_fld> TYPE CSEQUENCE.

DATA : l_field(15) TYPE c.

my_value = 'Got it'.

CONCATENATE 'it_out-m' '02' '1' INTO l_field.
ASSIGN (l_field) TO <fs_fld>.
<fs_fld> = my_value.

WRITE:/ it_out-m011.

Thanks.

my code is something like this:

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs> LIKE xitab.

SELECT SINGLE f1

FROM ZTAB

INTO lv_f1

WHERE f1 = <fs>-f1.

IF sy-subrc = 0.

<fs>-ITABFIELD= lv_value

ENDIF.

so you mean i have to assign ITABFIELD to <fs> and then the error will gone? because in my code i havn't assign the <fs> with the fiield.

data: <fs> like xitab.

loop at xitab into <fs>.

********
************
endloop.

instead , do this...

field-symbols <fs> like xitab.

loop at xitab assigning <fs>.

********
************
endloop.

This problem particularly occurs if the statement "ASSIGN TABLE FIELD (name) TO fieldsymbol" was used and if the field symbol was declared before the first use of the SUM field. But also a normal dynamic ASSIGN ("ASSIGN (name) to fieldsymbol" can cause this problem if the found field is not contained in the current program but in the TABLES work areas of the current program group.

If useful reward points

i havn't use any assign <fs> to table field <> stmt..then what would be the reason for this error..can u help me?

do this way ...

data: <fs> like xitab.
DATA: ASSIGNFIELD(20) TYPE C.

loop at xitab.
ASSIGNFIELD = 'XITAB'.
assign (assignfield) to <FS>.
 if sy-subrc = 0.
   
 ENDIF.
********
************
endloop.
